Exciting new features released for Egress Prevent Analytics

Egress | 28th Jun 2024

We are thrilled to announce the first release of powerful updates to Egress Prevent Analytics within the Egress Security Center, designed to provide deeper insights, richer data, and enhanced functionality for all our customers.  

These new features aim to empower IT and Security teams with granular control and visibility over outbound email behavior, helping to predict threats before they happen, identify behavioral trends and patterns, and adapt policies dynamically to mitigate human-activated outbound email risk.  

Let's dive in and explore what's new. 

In-depth email activity tracking 

Our new and improved email activity tracking provides deep visibility into all outbound email activity, including detailed information on emails and attachments sent. This enhanced level of tracking allows for a more comprehensive understanding of potential risks and threats within your organization's outbound email behavior. 

Benefits: 

  • Comprehensive insights: Gain a deeper understanding of outbound email activity to identify potential threats and patterns. 
  • Risk mitigation: Proactively mitigate risks before they escalate by monitoring sensitive data sharing habits. 

Click-through from dashboard to search screen 

Admin users can now click on data points within the dashboard and seamlessly navigate to the search screen with pre-applied filters. This new feature streamlines the user experience, allowing for quick, context-aware investigations. 

Benefits: 

  • Improved efficiency: Quickly drill down into specific data points directly from the dashboard. 
  • Enhanced usability: Intuitive navigation saves time and effort for admins. 

Real-time updates 

We are bringing real-time updates closer to reality for outbound email data within the dashboard. We recognize that having a data delay within the dashboard made threat identification and remediation significantly more challenging. With updates now occurring in real time, you can monitor your security posture more effectively and quickly spot suspicious behavior. 

Users can now manually choose when they refresh the data in the search emails screen. This functionality means that users of the portal can grab the newest email events as and when they need them. Neat, eh? 

Benefits: 

  • Timely information: Faster updates mean quicker identification and response to potential threats. 
  • Enhanced monitoring: Keep a closer eye on email activities as they happen.

  • Streamlined layout: Easier navigation and clearer data presentation. 

Empowering security teams with enhanced analytics 

In our endeavor to ensure organizations are best equipped to combat intentional data exfiltration, accidental data leaks, and other outbound email risk, we identified that Prevent Analytics was missing some key functionality to support this goal. To demonstrate our commitment to empowering security teams with all the data they need to make informed decisions about their risk and overall security posture Prevent Analytics has gotten some key upgrades - with much more to come! 

Our enhanced analytics capability provides multi-layered insights, reports, and intelligence, enabling you to: 

  • Predict threats: Identify potential risks before they occur.
