Making IT easy without to much clicking

1 in 4 companies using M365 have suffered an email-related security incident, how can you protect yourself?

Ransomware and other forms of cyberattacks affect more and more companies and authorities. Many customers have moved a large part of their business to the cloud, with Microsoft 365 making up the lion's share of this. With over 240 million business users relying on Microsoft cloud services, it also opens up an interesting attack surface for cybercriminals. It is very easy to find out if a company uses M365 today as the company's MX record and autodiscover functions are listed in public DNS servers.

Microsoft is of course doing everything it can to protect its customers, but is this enough?

We don't think so because:

  • 95% of all cyber attacks are caused by the human factor, do you trust your users not to be deceived by increasingly advanced attacks?
  • Microsoft has reported an increase of over 250% in the number of attacks against customers in M365. This means that any customer, large or small, can be affected by an attack.
  • 1 in 4 companies using M365 have suffered an email-related security incident.
  • Experts usually say that it is not a question of IF but of WHEN a company is hit.
  • What would it mean for your company if you or your customers were affected by Ransomware?

Don't worry, there is a solution!

Hornetsecurity offers market-leading security services for M365 that allow you to sleep peacefully at night.

Through an easy-to-use user interface, you can quickly start offering these services to large and small customers.

The services you can offer your customers include:

Spam and Malware protection

Scan all emails for Spam and Malware before they reach M365. Hornetsecurity is the market leader with a detection rate of 99.9% of SPAM and 99.99% of viruses.

This also protects the e-mail servers from DDoS attacks as Hornesecurity's servers handle this (very good if you have on-prem mail servers).

Email Encryption

Encrypt confidential documents between your company and your customers. This makes it easy to comply with GDPR and avoid so-called Man in the Middle attacks.

Encryption with PGP, S/MIME or TLS is possible. For receivers without support for any of these, Hornetsecurity has developed Websafe.

Signature and disclaimer

The function offers central control of your company's e-mail signature as well as a disclaimer for outgoing e-mails. It is possible to control this based on group affiliation and give e.g. HR/Marketing access to configure this.

ATP - Advanced Threat Protection

This protects against advanced attacks where, for example, someone pretends to be someone else. The protection works with several different techniques such as Sandboxing, Freezing, Secure Links, URL Scanning, Real Timel Alert and Ex-Post Alert.

Archiving of e-mail

Store all incoming and outgoing email in an archive to meet your compliance rules. All e-mail is stored at Hornetsecurity in its original form immediately upon arrival/sending. This means that no communication is lost.

The email in the archive cannot be deleted or changed before the configured retention policy is passed.

email continuity

If your email server goes down, the email continuity function is activated automatically. This gives you access to your incoming mail via the horn's Webmail until the mail server is up again.

When your web server is up and running again, all changes are synced automatically.

Total Backup of Microsoft 365

Automatic backup of email, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint from M365 to Hornetsecurity's secure data center. The service includes unlimited storage space and a recovery period (retention). It is also possible to choose a specific recovery period if you so wish.

Permissions Manager for SharePoint and Teams/OneDrive

Do you know who has been given access to your internal files via SharePoint and Teams?

With the Permissions manager, you can set policies around sharing and quickly and easily see how these are adhered to. You also receive alarms when policies are about to be broken. The tool also gives you the opportunity to easily change rights, approve/deny and monitor (audit) sharing. A must for all CISOs who want a clear view of what is going on.

Security Awareness Service

95% of all cyber attacks are caused by the human factor! That's a crazy high number!

With the Security Awareness Service, you can easily start making your users aware of the risks of blindly trusting IT?

Through recorded videos and simulated e-mails, your users are trained automatically. The service is designed as a game where users reach different levels. Users who identify the system's fake emails face fewer but more severe ordeals. Users who do not succeed as well (those with the highest risk of being scammed) are given more simulations to force them to learn.

You don't have to schedule emails etc yourself, but everything happens automatically (you can do it manually if you want), which means that it is not forgotten when the pleasure of the news has worn off.

This was a small overview of what Hornetsecurity can do for you. The services can be purchased individually or at favorable package prices.
