Fortra's Cloud Email Protection

As the Email Threat Landscape Intensifies, You Don't Have to Compromise

It’s no secret that threat actors rely heavily on impersonation and social engineering to slip malicious emails past defenses and into user inboxes. And the reality is that Secure Email Gateways struggle to detect advanced threats such as Business Email Compromise and spear phishing campaigns.

According to recent statistics reported by Fortra experts, more than 98% of threats that bypass traditional email security defenses rely on impersonation and social engineering. To make matters worse, legacy email security tools have been slow to adapt to cloud-based architectures, forcing enterprises that migrate to cloud email to compromise their security in the process. As a result, organizations find themselves at greater risk.

This is why enterprises need email security that stops advanced threats in their tracks. They need email security that integrates seamlessly into cloud environments, and they need both without compromise. Enterprises need Fortra Cloud Email Protection.

Solution Features

Global industry leaders count on Fortra to avoid the cost and business disruption that comes from rapidly evolving email tactics, such as impersonation, spear phishing, and BEC.

Advanced Data Science

The data science behind Cloud Email Protection is an advanced system of machine learning (ML) models, Large Language Models (LLMs), and neural networks that work together to accurately detect impersonation and social engineering techniques used in messages.

Fortra's Advanced Data Science is supported by a team of data scientists with extensive experience in practical applications of modern ML and AI technologies. These experts partner with Fortra’s storied roster of email threat researchers spanning Agari, Clearswift, PhishLabs, and other Fortra products.

Together, they ensure that Fortra's Advanced Data Science is trained and optimized to detect unknown threats that bypass traditional email security controls. To learn more about Fortra's Advanced Data Science, read our whitepaper here.

Global Inbox Threat Intelligence

Fortra's Cloud Email Protection platform comes with integrated feeds from Fortra’s Global Inbox Threat Intel. Every day, Cloud Email Protection ingests hundreds of curated, high-fidelity threat indicators from newly observed threats that have bypassed traditional Secure Email Gateways. All while it continuously scans email traffic and inboxes for these indicators, detecting and removing them automatically.

Email Threat Operations

In addition to advanced data science and global inbox threat intelligence, Cloud Email Protection benefits from a team of expert analysts that dig deep into threat data across its customer base to proactively hunt for novel attacks.

This team leverages current events, advanced techniques like pivoting, and customer performance insights to operationally detect advanced email threats. Additionally, input from this team is constantly being fed into our global threat intelligence feed and data science models to further enrich the platform.

Automated Remediation

Cloud Email Protection features a robust logic-based policy configuration and enforcement engine called Continuous Detection and Response (CDR). CDR uses Fortra's Advanced Data Science, Global Inbox Threat Intel, Email Threat Operations, as well as customer-specific policies to automatically purge threats across all inboxes.

Customers can use Continuous Detection and Response to tailor policies to their email environment, remove/quarantine messages, send alerts, and trigger third-party orchestration tools.

API-Based Integration

Email environments are notoriously complicated. Most organizations need constant access to email and work to eliminate any single point of failure.

Cloud Email Protection is a cloud-native platform that uses an API integration to quickly deploy alongside Microsoft 365, Exchange, and Google Workspace environments – whether on-premise or hybrid – to protect enterprises from phishing attacks.

When our CFO was singled out by a threat actor and her likeness was used to falsely convince our Accounts Payable Lead to wire funds offshore, we had only minutes to act. Fortunately, Fortra’s Cloud Email Protection detected and stopped the threat before potential damage occurred. It also scanned the remainder of our inboxes for duplicated incidents. The peace of mind that Fortra provides us, empowers us to go about our day knowing we are protected, even from social engineering attacks that are hard to detect.
