When Witherslack Group moved to Microsoft 365, they also chose to replace their existing secure email gateway (SEG) and data loss prevention (DLP) solution with the Egress Intelligent Email Security platform. This decision has enabled them to detect a broader range of threats and reduce email security spend, ensuring they maximize ROI.

- The email security risks they experienced before investing in Egress, and their key considerations when moving away from a SEG
- Why they chose to take a platform approach to inbound and outbound email security
- The evaluation criteria the used when selecting Egress over their existing SEG and DLP solution
- How they’ve improved employee awareness through real-time teachable moments

Microsoft + Egress: Replacing the SEG to detect a broader spectrum of threats

80% of data exists in unstructured format - in the emails, attachments and documents we work with daily. This opens the door to significant risks, particularly as employees use email to send and receive sensitive information.

The UK Information Commissioner’s Office’s own trends show that data exposed to unauthorised access has been the top cause of reported security incidents, and recent research into this problem shows that the average organisation experiences an email data breach every 12 working hours. This problem is only growing, with an even greater reliance on email by employees since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hear from Tony Pepper, CEO, Egress and Kathryn Cardose, Head of Cyber Operations at Virgin Money as they discuss the risks that enterprises face from email, and the strategies you should be taking to prevent security incidents.

Gain insights into:

- How to identify and map the operational and other risks in your organisation, especially those linked to email use


- What are the threats and remote working on email security


- Key considerations for remediating risks to unstructured data, including technological controls

AI is touching all our lives, across numerous applications, including cyber security. But is AI itself secure? Like any technology, it presents an attack surface, so you need to understand it to understand the risk associated with it.

With many vendors presenting AI as a black box solution, how do you qualify that risk? This webinar will help answer that question and include practical demonstrations of how AI can be subverted.

Key Webinar Takeaways:

-Understand potential cyber security threats to AI technology

- Learn importance of recognising security risks to avoid undermining AI

- Explore AI as a black box solution and how to restrict security threats

- Discover a practical demonstration of how AI can be subverted and how to avoid destabilisation

The Security of Artificial Intelligence

Data breach litigation is the new PPI – and outbound email is the revolving door for claims! We’re moving into a new era of data protection: with class action lawsuits becoming an inevitable and costly outcome of almost every data breach. In fact, as reports hit the headlines of personal data exposed to unauthorised access, law firms specialising in group litigation are simultaneously creating webpages to cater to data subjects looking for recompense.

Against this backdrop, 93% of organisations have experienced data loss via outbound email over 12 months, at an average rate of one incident every 12 working hours. In association with PrivSec Global, Jamie Davies from Egress, a KnowBe4 company, will be providing insights into:

- Understanding the impact of group litigation, drawing from recent examples in the news


- Learning how COVID-19 has impacted email security


- Uncovering the limitations of the native security controls available in email environments like Microsoft 365 and other static technologies


- Discovering how Egress use contextual machine learning and advanced DLP to detect email data breaches and prevent them before they happen

Preventing Email Errors From Leading to Lawsuits

Static DLP technologies and have failed to stop insider data breaches because they’re unable to anticipate that people’s behaviour changes and detect when it does. Instead, organisations are implementing intelligent technologies, including contextual machine learning, to empower people to work productively without risk. Join this session to get an up-close view of this data-driven approach to security.

Data-driven security: Using machine learning in the battle against breaches

Cybercriminals are constantly finding ways to evolve their phishing attacks to get through traditional email security defenses. Join James Dyer, Threat Intelligence Lead at Egress, a KnowBe4 Company, and Tom Allen, Editor at Computing as they discuss some of these new techniques as covered in the latest Phishing Threat Trends Report, including:

- The rise of quishing and evolution of payloads

- How AI is used in phishing attacks, including deepfakes

- How multi-channel attacks play out

- The threats that are getting through secure email gateways

From quishing to deepfakes: The latest phishing threat trends for 2024

The reality is, you can’t stop people from using email – so there will always be risk from inbound and outbound threats. Traditional secure email gateways (SEGs) cannot be depended on to effectively defend people from advanced phishing attacks and prevent them from leaking sensitive data.

Watch this webinar to hear from Rob Fountaine, Principal Security Engineer at Shields Health Solutions, and Sudeep Venkatesh, Chief Customer Officer at Egress, as they discuss:

- How to evaluate your tech stack by thinking like a hacker

- The role of the secure email gateway in today’s cloud hosted environment

- Using intelligent technology to augment Microsoft 365

- The impact of Egress Intelligent Email Security in detecting and preventing inbound and outbound threats

Shields Health Solution: A new paradigm in email security

Cybercriminals don’t discriminate between non-profit organizations delivering social impact and corporates. In fact, resource-constrained entities are seen as an easier target for the advanced phishing attacks that are designed to get through Microsoft 365 and secure email gateway detection and that, if successful, can lead to service disruption that puts lives at risk.

Watch this webinar and hear from guest speakers Stephen Bromhall and Dean Ayres, East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST), for:


- Live discussion of the latest threat trends and phishing attacks targeting public sector organizations


- Assessment of technical approaches to advanced threat detection and security training


- Insight into building a holistic view of human risk across your estate


- Practical advice for building a business case to justify appropriate levels of cybersecurity spend


- Analysis of the tangible positive impact Egress Defend has had for EEAST

East of England Ambulance Service: People are your biggest risk when using email

AI-powered bots became the real danger by using personalized approach with automated cyber attacks. Cybercrimes are now more sophisticated and often difficult to detect without an innovative technology. It is crucial to prepare your organization and take the appropriate steps to prevent any data breach.

Watch this on-demand webinar to hear Carl Johnson, Head of IT Governance at Howden Group Holdings and Mike Fardell, CIO at Howden Insurance Brokers share their insights on:


- The main challenges cybersecurity leader face today


- How to protect your organization from advanced email attacks


- How to promote a safe virtual working environment to maximize security


- How Egress helped Howden Group prevent human-related risk and advanced attacks

Howden: Taking a people-centric approach to preventing targeted fraud by email

Housing 21, a prominent not-for-profit social housing provider, caters to older individuals of modest means, with over 22,800 properties managed across 240 local authority areas. To safeguard its 4,500 employees and residents, Housing 21 maintained a multi-layered security defense system, including a secure email gateway (SEG).

Bryan Jones, IT Security Manager at Housing 21, saw that advanced phishing attacks were bypassing their SEG and was concerned about the risk of a data breach due to potential email misdirection. He evaluated several solutions and ultimately selected Egress Prevent and Defend to augment his defense system.

Housing 21 Enhances Microsoft 365's Defense Against Advanced Phishing

Recently published research reveals that 92% of organizations fell victim to successful phishing attacks within their Microsoft 365 environment. With CISOs concerned about account compromise within their organizations, risks within the supply chain, and the use of AI in phishing campaigns, organizations are increasingly enhancing their defenses using integrated cloud email security (ICES) solutions.
