While email security solutions are designed to catch malicious emails before they reach user inboxes, no solution discovers every single malicious email 100% of the time. There is an ever-increasing number of new attacks, and cybercriminals are getting smarter.
As new sources of threat intelligence or new social engineering attacks are discovered from SOC analyst investigation...
Email is a critical communication channel to engage with customers. Unfortunately, it is also the primary vector that cybercriminals use to exploit a brand and target its customer base with advanced phishing attacks. Malicious emails from cybercriminals can damage a brand, erode customer trust, and impact a corporation’s bottom line. Increasingly, consumers are valuing security...
The Email Authentication Challenge
Email is the #1 way attackers target an organization’s customers and email ecosystem. DMARC authentication, specifically with an enforcement policy of Reject, is the single most effective way to close this vulnerability inherent to email. While the premise of authentication is straightforward, organizations can encounter roadblocks and...
Phishing and other email-based attacks account for 94% of breaches, with cybercriminals exfiltrating data mere hours after gaining access. However, it often takes months for businesses to discover a breach—and even longer to remediate it. Traditional security controls rely on blocking cyberattacks at a single point in time when email is delivered, attachments are executed, or...
The benefits of moving to Microsoft 365—easily communicating and collaborating inside and outside of the organization while working anywhere from any device at any time—are well known. However, along with the convenience of a highly available and easily accessible environment comes an increased security risk. While M365 provides security to stop spam, known viruses, or malware,...

And while there are bolt-on security upgrades offered by cloud email providers–like Microsoft 365–they offer little protection against sophisticated threats. Once these malicious emails make it into user inboxes, cleaning them up is costly and...
