Outlook autocomplete is the leading cause of data loss
Misdirected emails and files are the leading cause of data loss incidents reported to regulators.
When people are under pressure, tired, or simply not concentrating, they make mistakes – such as choosing the wrong recipient via Outlook autocomplete or attaching the wrong files to an email.
The static data loss prevention (DLP) solutions delivered by Microsoft 365 and secure email gateways (SEG) don’t understand the anomalies in human behavior to detect accidental email data loss, and they can’t scale to deliver effective DLP for today’s enterprise.
Stop emailing the wrong people
- 1 Recipient analysis. Social graphing and contextual machine learning algorithms deeply understand a user’s relationships to detect any anomalous recipients.
- 2 Domain analysis. Assesses historic domain interactions for authenticity in order to detect deviations from normal behavior or lookalike domains.
- 3 Interactive and customizable feedback. Egress Prevent provides instantaneous feedback as the user composes their message, without negatively impacting their workflow.
- 4 Clear explanation of risk. An interactive threat panel highlights why there’s a risk, augmenting your security awareness and training.
Share the right content with recipients every time
- 5 Content inspection and analysis for all attachments. DLP policies supervise machine learning algorithms to coach right vs. wrong. By measuring the subject line and message body against the given aliases, Prevent can detect anomalous content specific to the intended recipients and domains.
- 6 Intelligent notifications. An unobtrusive prompt only alerts users to a potential mistake, and our intelligent technology learns behavior for future emails.
- 7 Anomalous content detection inside the attachments. Smart rules work alongside machine learning to scan content buried inside an attachment and detect any unique identifiers that don’t match up with the intended recipients based on previous or similar user behavior.
Prevent misdirected emails at home or on the go
- 8 Immediate notification within the M365 environment. Your email is never diverted to a proprietary cloud, meaning it’s safe from unauthorized access while productivity remains intact in the event of an outage. Should we spot any risk of a misdirected send, our cutting-edge solution pushes a notification email back to the user.
- 9 Simple explanations of security risks. The email explains clearly why there’s a risk to help educate users and drive employee awareness on security best practice.
- 10 Quick approve/reject workflow. Our sophisticated mobile technology allows users to quickly reject emails in the even of a misdirected send; or they can approve, and the machine learns for next time.
