Sophos Workspace Protection overview
Address email security gaps without disrupting mail flow
Over 90 percent of successful cyberattacks begin with phishing emails. Business email compromise attacks account for nearly $3 billion in annual losses according to FBI reporting.
Sophos Email Monitoring System provides an additional layer of visibility and threat detection for organizations using any email security service. The system identifies suspicious messages that pass through existing defenses and integrates email telemetry into Sophos MDR and XDR for correlation with other security events.
Key capabilities
Sophos Email Monitoring System extends email security through additional analysis and integration with detection and response platforms.
Manual message clawback
Enables remediation of suspicious messages that reached user mailboxes through manual clawback capabilities.
MDR and XDR integration
Integrates email telemetry from any email security service into Sophos MDR and XDR for threat correlation and investigation.
Identify threats missed by existing defenses
Sophos Email Monitoring System analyzes email traffic that has already passed through existing email security controls. This additional perspective identifies suspicious messages and delivers verdicts on emails that were missed or misclassified.
- Monitors email traffic without affecting mail flow or user experience
- Identifies phishing attempts that evaded initial security screening
- Detects business email compromise tactics including domain spoofing
- Provides visibility into threats that existing controls did not classify correctly
- Works alongside any email security service without replacement or migration
Remediate threats that reach user mailboxes
Phishing and business email compromise attacks exploit human behavior, making rapid remediation essential to prevent user interaction with malicious content. Sophos Email Monitoring System provides manual clawback capabilities for messages that bypass existing defenses.
- Manual clawback removes suspicious messages from user mailboxes after delivery
- Reduces window of exposure for threats that evaded initial detection
- Prevents users from interacting with phishing links or malicious attachments
- Supports investigation workflows by preserving message evidence
- Integrates with security team processes for threat response
Integrate email security data into detection and response platforms
Sophos Email Monitoring System ingests email telemetry from any email security service and makes it available in Sophos MDR and Sophos XDR. This integration enables correlation of email events with endpoint, network, and identity data for comprehensive threat investigation.
- Integrates email telemetry from email security services that lack native MDR or XDR connectors
- Enriches email data with Sophos threat intelligence for additional context
- Groups related email detections with other security events to highlight multi-stage attacks
- Enables MDR analysts to investigate email-originated incidents with full context
- Preserves existing email security investments while adding detection and response capabilities
Non-disruptive deployment
Sophos Email Monitoring System deploys without changes to mail flow, existing email security configurations, or user workflows. The system monitors email traffic through API connections to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, providing visibility and remediation capabilities without affecting message delivery.
