Protect against human activated risk with intelligent phishing detection
Sophisticated attacks evade existing secure email gateways and the native security offered by Microsoft 365. Intelligent phishing detection helps you:
Protect against data breaches
Empower users and reduce friction
Contextual, color-coded warning banners engage users only when a threat is evident to provide teachable moments at the point of risk.
Reduce administration overhead
Self-learning detection technologies reduce the need for manual policy configuration and ongoing maintenance.
Protect against advanced email attacks
One successful phishing attack is all it takes to put your organization’s sensitive data at risk. Egress Defend combines intelligent detection technologies to defend against sophisticated phishing attacks and warn and engage users with contextual, color-coded warning banners.
