Reduce exposure to human error by improving detection accuracy and providing user guardrails.
Stop sophisticated inbound phishing attacks
Phishing attacks aren’t a new phenomenon. And most organizations have strengthened their defenses over time, especially as email has moved to the cloud.
The problem is that threat actors are innovating even faster. When they set their sights on a specific organization, they can usually find a way in using sophisticated techniques, such as business email
compromise (BEC) attacks that exploit trusted accounts.
THE PROBLEM
Most organizations have been trying to stop phishing for decades
So why are these attacks still so successful?

WHY IT MATTERS
36%
of all breaches involved phishing in 2021
Up from 25% in 2020
10%
of all breaches involved BEC in 2021
Up from 5% in 2020
Even as organizations apply more budget and resources to email security, the problem keeps getting worse. The stakes also keep getting higher as threat actors find new ways to use email as a launch point for fraud, ransomware, and other financially damaging attacks.
THE OLD WAY
Most organizations now rely on the integrated anti-phishing features that Microsoft 365 and legacy secure email gateways offer.
The problem is they don’t catch everything.
Sophisticated inbound email attacks still make it through. And some attacks can originate with an outbound email following coercion or social engineering of a trusted insider.
THE EGRESS WAY
Does this mean that you should replace Microsoft 365’s cloud-native email protection with a complex third-party solution?
No.
Microsoft’s integrated email security capabilities provide an excellent foundation.
But integrating Egress with Microsoft 365 will close critical protection gaps and stop sophisticated inbound phishing attacks that would otherwise be missed.
