Sophos
today announced
Sophos Email Advanced, the first email protection solution to offer predictive
security with active threat protection (ATP), anti-phishing email
authentication, and outbound scanning and policy support.
75 percent of malware in
an organization is unique to that organization which indicates the majority of
attacks are zero-day. The only way to combat that is with the deep learning neural
network that is integrated into the Sophos Email sandboxing technologyto
quickly identify never-before-seen malicious files sent in email.
“With the growth of
cloud-based platforms such as Office365 and Google G-Suite, organizations need
an advanced security solution that detects zero-day threats and advanced
malware. Ransomware-As-A-Service (RaaS) and packaged malware kits have made it
easier for cybercriminals to customize and deliver more complex, targeted
attacks through email,” said Bill
Lucchini, senior vice president and general manager, Messaging Security Group
at Sophos. “IT needs smarter, predictive security to detect and stop today’s
threats.Sophos Central cloud-based management of Sophos Email Advanced can
deliver the highest levels of protection to secure any email platform, allowing
every user to trust their inbox again.”
