Business Fortune

Today, organizations face a growing challenge to protect sensitive data from cyber threats. Traditional email security measures often fall short, leaving gaps that cybercriminals exploit. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, the focus has shifted towards human behavior as a primary vulnerability.

Egress Software Technologies has emerged as a pioneering leader, offering innovative email security solutions that place human behavior at the center of defense. With a unique blend of advanced machine learning, real-time education, and cloud-native architecture, Egress ensures organizations stay one step ahead of evolving threats like phishing, data breaches, and email fraud.

A New Era in Email Security: Addressing Both Inbound and Outbound Threats

Egress Software Technologies stands out by offering a cloud email security platform that protects organizations from both inbound and outbound threats, with a special focus on human behavior. Most organizations use email as a communication tool, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. Egress recognizes that traditional email security solutions are often not enough to stop sophisticated threats, especially those that rely on human error or misjudgment. By integrating directly with Microsoft 365, Egress enhances its native security features, filling the gaps left by secure email gateways (SEGs) and offering a comprehensive, human-centric solution.

Real-Time Teachable Moments: Empowering Users to Make Secure Choices

One of Egress' standout features is its ability to provide real-time "teachable moments" to users. These moments are strategically delivered at the point of risk, alerting employees to potential threats and providing explanations of risky behaviors. This proactive approach to security training is far more effective than traditional, periodic training programs, which can be easily forgotten or ignored. By engaging users at the moment they are most vulnerable, Egress encourages immediate corrective action, which helps reduce long-term security risks and enhances overall user awareness.

Advanced Threat Detection: Stopping 97% More Attacks

Egress’ intelligent security platform leverages machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to detect advanced email threats, such as phishing, business email compromise, and ransomware. By utilizing a zero-trust approach, the platform inspects every email for signs of malicious activity, ensuring that threats are blocked before they reach the user’s inbox. According to Egress, their solution prevents up to 97% more attacks than traditional email security measures. This sophisticated technology is especially crucial in combating evolving threats that often bypass conventional systems.

An Adaptive Security Model for Continuous Risk Assessment

Egress is unique in its use of an adaptive security model that continually assesses human risk across an organization. By calculating human risk scores for each user, Egress can dynamically adjust security controls based on individual risk levels. This allows for a more tailored approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that the most vulnerable employees receive additional protection while maintaining an overall secure environment. This dynamic, data-driven approach ensures that security measures remain responsive to evolving threats and organizational needs.

Egress Intelligent Email Security: The Future of Cloud Email Protection

Egress’ cloud-native Intelligent Email Security platform offers a comprehensive solution for preventing email threats, data loss, and data exfiltration. With continuous human risk assessment, real-time teachable moments, and intelligent threat detection, the platform delivers an unparalleled level of protection. Its ability to adapt security controls based on user behavior ensures that organizations can proactively defend against threats while reducing the risk of human error.

Enhancing Collaboration and Data Sharing with Secure Workspace

Beyond email security, Egress also offers Secure Workspace, a secure file-sharing solution designed to protect sensitive data during collaboration. With encrypted protection and customizable permissions, Secure Workspace ensures that only authorized individuals can access confidential files. The solution is further enhanced by a dedicated mobile app and productivity tools, allowing teams to collaborate securely from any location. This mobility-friendly approach ensures that employees can work securely, no matter where they are.

Simplifying Data Exchange with Secure Web Forms

Egress’ Secure Web Form solution enables organizations to securely collect sensitive information from third parties via customizable online forms. This eliminates the need for paper-based methods, streamlining data-sharing processes and ensuring that sensitive data is protected at every stage. When integrated with Secure Workspace, Secure Web Form completes the data security lifecycle, offering a unified, secure environment for data management.

Egress Software Technologies is reshaping the future of email security with its human-centric approach to cybersecurity. By focusing on the role of human behavior, Egress has created a dynamic, adaptive platform that offers real-time protection against evolving email threats. With its ability to integrate with Microsoft 365, provide real-time education, and detect threats missed by traditional systems, Egress sets a new standard for email security in the modern workplace. As organizations continue to face increasing cybersecurity threats, Egress provides a comprehensive, proactive solution that empowers users to make smarter, safer decisions.
