Microsoft 365 Email Security

Microsoft 365 Email Security – Strengthen the Security of Microsoft 365 – Add Anti-Phishing, Spear-Phishing Detection, Email Continuity, and CEO Fraud Filtering!

Spambrella provides advanced defenses against the most sophisticated phishing attacks. Businesses of all sizes are adopting cloud-based Microsoft Office 365 as a way to give users greater flexibility and access to core business applications anytime, anywhere, and on virtually any device.

While Office 365 email security includes built-in email filtering security capabilities, additional protection is needed when it comes to spear-phishing exploits that use social engineering methods and other tactics to find and ex-filtrate vital sensitive business data.

Office 365 Email Security

Spambrella Email Protection solutions provide enterprise-grade security for Microsoft Office 365, defending against phishing attacks faster, offering greater reliability, and improving email continuity.

Enterprise-grade email protection is available for most popular email form factors, along with the flexibility and scalability to support changing customer environments in any sector.

Why You Need Additional Security for Office 365

Office 365 is an indispensable business tool—and a key attack vector for email phishing. With 95% of all attacks originating from spear-phishing attempts, more robust email security is a top priority. It’s easy to see why spear phishing has become a popular mode of attack.

According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, one in five people will click on a URL in a phishing message and human resources and finance, departments where most sensitive data resides, are the biggest offenders.

In a recent phishing quiz conducted by Intel Security, 80% of 60,000 users across 49 countries failed to identify at least one phishing email.

FAQ's

What email security solution works best with Microsoft 365?

If you use Microsoft 365 within your organization, Spambrella is your way to cement your email security. Spambrella is a suite of email protection solutions that work best for all M365 environments and include phishing security, spear phishing detection, encryption, sandboxing, data loss prevention, and more.

How is Spambrella different from the built-in Office 365 security features?

Despite its recent improvements, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 isn’t flawless in terms of email security. Its features are not effective enough to repel zero-day attacks and advanced spear phishing attempts, not to mention its encryption gaps and DLP limitations. Spambrella is different from Microsoft Defender because it has been developed to incorporate advanced ML algorithms for multi-level threat detection. Spambrella’s effectiveness rates for defending against sophisticated email attacks are much higher than those of built-in M365 tools.

What is spear phishing detection, and how does Spambrella protect my Office 365 inbox?

Spear phishing detection implies using a combination of email security solutions and employee training to improve an organization’s ability to identify personalized scams in email environments. Spambrella can protect your M365 inbox from spear phishing with policy-oriented filters, ML-powered defense capabilities, and data encryption.

Can Spambrella ensure email continuity and quick recovery if Office 365 experiences downtime?

Absolutely! Aside from hardening your defenses, Spambrella’s suite includes email spooling, archiving, and an emergency inbox so that your employees can access email messages and data without a hitch, even if M365 servers are temporarily down.

How does Spambrella handle data loss prevention and outbound email compliance for Office 365?

If you need to comply with HIPAA or other regulations for DLP and outbound email, Spambrella allows you to create, modify, and enforce custom policies. Policy-controlled email communications can be coupled with Spambrella’s content analysis, adjustable filters, smart identifiers, attachment scanning, and encryption.

How does Azure Active Directory integration help with policy management across Microsoft 365?

Azure AD lets you define your security policy and ensure its unconditional enforcement across M365. With Active Directory, you get a bigger picture of user accounts, employee roles, locations, authentication methods, and permissions, which you can control as part of your policy management efforts.

The service is great at filtering bad email as well as junk email out while allowing clean email though. I have used a few other options over the years and this is the best I have found. Clients sometimes have trouble configuring their settings to how they want it to be. Or tag emails as approved when they shouldn't and need IT interaction to resolve. Maybe just ease of use or having a more clear way for clients to resolve basics on their own.

Robust, versatile, and reliable...
The reliability of the service and the level of protection that it provides. My spam levels immediately dropped to near zero.

There are almost no false positives. And I'm easily able to customize the level of protection with whitelists, blacklists, and sensitivity settings. I'm also a big fan of the antivirus and URL scanning features.

Verified Reviewer, Review via Gartner Capterra

It doesn't require an arcane knowledge to set the Spam filtering up, the guides are straight to the point and support staff are very helpful. Functionality wise, in short: we do not get spammed. Thanks to Spambrella.

Archiving wise, the new solution is easy to use, searches well and fast and is by far the cheapest we could find at the time. Ten year retention rocks!

Verified Reviewer, Review via Gartner Capterra

Easy to onboard my customers from another spam filtering system. Very fast and haven't had any downtime in the 9 months since I have moved to Spambrella. When I have had to use support, responses where quick. I had to move all my customers from another filtering system with little notice. After I moved my customers I realised how bad the old solution I used was. Contact with Sales and Support always been professional

Allen B., Review via Gartner Capterra

Used the software for: 2+ years - 5/5 Overall
With an ever overloaded department, and with cybersecurity skills shortage getting worse securing the I.T infrastructure.

Offloading the task of e-mail filtering to Spambrella has dramatically helped in the department's performance. The only drawback in our case is that the service is hosted outside of our territory and thus out of the legal jurisdiction.

John P., Review via Gartner Capterra

I found spambrella to be easy to set up and has dramatically reduced the number of spam emails hitting our inboxes. It was easy to 'train' the software to release any genuine emails that were caught or add any spam that was not picked up.

Within a couple of weeks of use virtually no spam arrived to our mailboxes. Spam and phishing emails are a growing problem for everyone I'm sure. I now get a very low incidence of spam.
