“Our long-term view is to secure all channels of communication with a capability to be an intelligence layer that integrates into the Microsoft ecosystem and offers threat intelligence on inbound and outbound communication.” Tony Pepper, Egress CEO & Co-Founder
The only cloud email security platform to use an adaptive security model
As advanced persistent threats continue to evolve, we recognize that people are the biggest risk to organizations’ security and are most vulnerable when using email.
Egress is the only cloud email security platform to continuously assess human risk and dynamically adapt policy controls, preparing customers to defend against advanced phishing attacks and outbound data breaches before they happen. Leveraging contextual machine learning and neural networks, with seamless integration using cloud-native API architecture, Egress provides enhanced email protection, deep visibility into human risk, and instant time to value.
Trusted by the world’s biggest brands, Egress is private equity backed with offices in London, Sheffield, Cheltenham, New York, Boston, Toronto and Brisbane.
Egress brings together decades of experience helping businesses around the world secure their most valuable assets, be that their data, their networks, or their people. We’re one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the security space, and our talented and ambitious workforce has played a huge part in why.
Egress' culture is really unique. Everyone's really welcoming and it's so much fun to work here.
If I had to describe Egress in three words it would be innovative, fun, and sociable.
What makes Egress different, I would say, 100%, is the people.
Our team
Our goal is to build a product that works for everyone, so it is important our workforce includes staff from as wide a pool of talent as possible. We’re proud of the range of experienced people we have in all areas of our business, and the impact their different views and knowledge are having on our products and colleagues around them.
Egress is founded in London, UK, by CEO Tony Pepper, COO Neil Larkins, and CSO John Goodyear.
Tony, Neil, and John met when working together at Reflex Magnetics, a data security company that was later acquired by Checkpoint Software Technologies. They launched Egress following this success.
We launch our first security solution, Egress Switch.
Now known as Egress Protect, our email encryption software was adopted by a network of local authorities based in London and quickly spread throughout the wider public and corporate sectors in the UK.
We successfully receive Series A funding of $2.8m from Albion VC, helping to accelerate our rapid growth.
Albion VC partner Ed Lascelles joins the Egress board, where he continues to serve, and uses his expertise to help us transition from start-up to scale-up. Albion would later fill Egress' Series B funding round as well.
We launch the product now known as Egress Prevent, which ensures emails and attachments are sent to the right people, mitigates spear phishing, and applies appropriate protection to sensitive data.
This innovation creates a new category of security technology: human layer security, which uses intelligent machine learning to prevent insider data breaches.
Egress acquires cutting-edge NCSC Accelerator company Aquilai, an anti-phishing provider with machine learning and natural language processing technology that stops targeted email attacks.
The acquisition sees the launch of Egress Defend, with founder Jack Chapman joining Egress as VP of Threat Intelligence, along with many members of the Aquilai team.
Egress announces the launch of adaptive security for its Intelligent Email Security platform.
In the most significant innovation since the creation of Integrated Cloud Email Security, Egress now provides dynamic and automated protection against advanced inbound and outbound threats, transforming the way in which organizations manage human risk on email.
Investing in initiatives that both Egress as a whole and our staff are passionate about has been an important part of our growth.
Here is a selection of some of the ways we’re supporting issues such as environmental impact, diversity and equality, fair employment practices, and our local communities.
