Solution: Sophos Email leverages a multi-layered, AI-powered approach with natural language processing (NLP) to detect and stop phishing, BEC, account takeover, and QR-code attacks. Email spoofing attacks are blocked by authentication checks (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC), while URL protection and sandboxing, built-in encryption, outbound DLP, and content-based control round out the solution to neutralize threats.

2. Enhance existing Microsoft and Google investments

Desired outcome: Advanced threat detection that elevates Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace security.

Solution: AI‑generated phishing, BEC, and identity‑spoofing attacks are increasingly sophisticated, often bypassing built-in security features and putting your employees one click away from compromise. Sophos Email seamlessly integrates with your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tools, strengthening your security to ensure that no email threat goes undetected.

3. Integrated employee awareness training

Desired outcome: Train your users to identify and report threats.

Solution: Phishing and BEC attacks take advantage of human behavior, deceiving legitimate users into interacting with malicious emails. Sophos Email provides built-in phishing simulation and security awareness training programs to keep users alert to the latest attack techniques, promoting a culture of vigilance and reducing the risk of human error.

4. Expert-led response to critical email attacks

Desired outcome: Let Sophos security analysts respond to critical email threats on your behalf.
