Benefit
A mailbox-level anti-phishing solution offers an additional layer of protection by analyzing account information and understanding users’ communication habits. This delivers an enhanced level of phishing protection to detect attacks faster, alert users and remediate threats as quickly as possible. Machine learning scores sender reputation enabling a baseline for what “normal communications” with a user should look like. It can then compare correspondence and incoming messages with multiple data points to identify and learn from anomalies.
Customers now have many tools on the market to enhance their email security. The best of these use artificial intelligence and machine learning to better identify some of the suspected threats. This not only improves security but can significantly reduce the workloads of IT and security teams.
Whereas basic tools simply offer information and basic applications, automated and advanced phishing threat protection solutions can help solve the challenges that customers face. This ultimately helps the channel discuss solutions with their customers and offer an overall picture and architecture of solving the challenges that are now inherent to email security. Automated advanced phishing threat protection defends against todays and tomorrow’s threats with a system that continually learns and makes the entire organization more security conscious and aware.
As the channel is sometimes slow to move to some of the more advanced technologies, those that are fast will gain the upper hand and a competitive advantage. Merely having these conversations will automatically distinguish you from many of your competitors. It demonstrates that you have a pulse on the latest threats and an insight into how artificial intelligence and machine learning can improve the security posture, without adding more burden to them.
