Stop sophisticated inbound phishing attacks

Phishing 1

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.

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.

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.
