Microsoft is currently a prime target for cybercriminals. With over a million companies using Microsoft Office 365, holding a 46% market share in the office suite domain, and being utilized by over 350 million individuals, it's evident that M365 are enticing prey for data-hungry hackers.

 

This poses a significant risk for businesses, especially those lacking the necessary resources to invest in cybersecurity teams or software. Consequently, email remains the primary attack vector against Microsoft Office 365, thereby amplifying the risk for users.

 

 

 

False Positives Risk

Microsoft 365's anti-spam occasionally misidentifies legitimate emails as spam, leading to potential loss of crucial communications.

False Negatives Risk

Conversely, it may also let spam or phishing emails slip through, exposing the organization to potential threats.

Limited Protection Against Advanced Threats

While providing basic protection, the native anti-spam may be less effective in detecting advanced threats such as spear-phishing attacks, sophisticated malware, or targeted assaults.

Restricted Customization

Administrators have limited options to customize anti-spam rules and security policies, making it challenging to implement company-specific security measures.

Increased Risk of Phishing Attacks

Phishing attacks, particularly "internal phishing" or "whaling," can circumvent native anti-spam using sophisticated social engineering tactics./p>

Compliance Limitations

Organizations subject to strict compliance regulations may require more advanced features to archive and manage emails in line with legal requirements.

Microsoft is frequently targeted by cyberattacks, but defenses like Exchange Online Protection (EOP) have become outdated, and Windows Defender alone isn't sufficient to combat them.

How does it work?

1. When a user in your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 organization dials and sends a message, the message is diverted to the e-securemail service using a connector and a mail flow rule (also called a transport rule) that you create.

2. e-securemail accepts the message and performs anti-spam and antivirus filtering. The service also adds a custom header to the message to indicate that the message has been processed.

3. e-securemail routes the message to Microsoft 365 or Office 365. A connector you create accepts incoming messages from the e-securemail service.

4. Microsoft 365 or Office 365 sends the message filtered with Microsoft 365 and e-securemail to the original recipients.
