How to Guard Your Microsoft 365 Investment: Email Security Strategies

Date: Wednesday, December 06 at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET

The FBI reports that email compromise attacks involving human interaction have doubled in the past year, resulting in staggering losses exceeding $2.7 billion. Unsurprisingly, cybercriminals persist in targeting individuals to compromise credentials, pilfer sensitive corporate data, and perpetrate financial fraud.

Exploiting Microsoft's widespread success as the leading choice for business communication, these threat actors utilize email as their primary attack vector. With limited security resources and mounting threats, it’s never been more crucial to establish an email defense strategy that not only safeguards users but also streamlines team operations.

  • How to assess existing gaps in your current email security posture
  • When your organization should consider implementing additional security controls
  • How and where you can leverage automation and AI in your threat protection plan
  • Supplemental tools you need to create a comprehensive email security program
