Stop email data breaches by combining battle-tested email
security with machine learning and advanced DLP: Egress
L
arge-scale migration of email
to the cloud has necessitated
a strategic shift in how
to secure this communication
channel. Security and risk
management leaders must adopt
a continuous adaptive risk and
trust assessment mindset to
protect inboxes from exposure to
increasingly sophisticated threats.
Impersonation and account
takeover attacks are increasing and
causing direct financial loss, because
users place too much trust in the
identities associated with incoming
email and are inherently vulnerable
to deception and social engineering.
This growing problem can only be
reduced through education, social
graph impersonation filtering,
improved indicators of identity
in email and suspicious email
workflow. The email security
market is starting to adopt a
continuous adaptive risk and trust
assessment (CARTA) mindset and
acknowledge that perfect protection
is not possible. As a result, vendors
are evolving or emerging to
support new detect and response
capabilities by integrating directly
with the email system via API.

Adopt a CARTA strategic approach to
email security by layering inbound,
outbound, and internal detection
and remediation capabilities.

Factors such as modern working
practices, digital transformation
and migration to the cloud have
resulted in over 80% of enterprise
data being considered ‘unstructured’,
including information within
emails, folders and files. To date,
organizations have struggled to
classify, control and track this data
as it is stored and shared across
users and boundaries, often leading
to breaches caused by human error
at a time of increased pressure from
regulatory requirements. To solve
the problem, the Egress platform
thinks differently, putting the user in
the center of a suite of data security
tools driven by intelligent, self-
learning software.
A data security platform
Egress automates data classification
to help users understand who
should be accessing that data, and
it stops breaches by intervening
before users accidentally share with
the wrong recipient. The platform
also provides enhanced discovery
and reporting functionality for
ongoing compliance. Egress also
enhances data security and privacy
when unstructured data is shared,
by encrypting it in transit. Whether
data is emailed or worked on
collaboratively, the user and their
organization remain in control
of how recipients access and
interact with sensitive information,
supported by automation and
intelligence. User engagement and
machine learning also drives usage
and efficiency, offering bespoke
advice and ensuring security, such
as message-level encryption, is
applied effectively, every time.
Egress Email Protection
Many email protection solutions still
rely on a one-size-fits-all approach
to protecting content that doesn’t
consider the real-world risks
of a data breach as information
travels over untrusted networks to
potentially untrusted recipients.
Egress helps organizations
protect unstructured data to
meet compliance requirements
and drive business productivity
by mitigating human error and
malicious behavior. Using AI and
machine learning, the Egress Email
Protection platform empowers
users to easily control and secure
the data they share via email,
with measurable benefits in
data protection and end-user
satisfaction. Using Email Protection,
organizations can secure cloud
email environments and enhance
compliance with data protection
