Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

User Flagging of Suspicious Emails The end-user has the ability to flag suspicious emails in their inbox and junk folders.

Email Account Protection Security measures preventing your mailboxes from being hijacked or intercepted by third party malicious actors.

O365 integration Integrates directly and seamlessly with Microsoft's cloud email service without the need for redirection or change to MX records or SPF entries.

Data Loss Prevention Prevention of data exfiltration in outgoing emails.

Phishing Protection Scans and alerts to any phishing attempts of incoming emails from external sources, and blocks any attempts if there is click-through.

Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Service "learns" the organization's email activity/behavior, tuning in to settings appropriate for activities.

Managed Services Offering In addition to the software service, managed services can be purchased from the vendor, such as incident response or active monitoring.

Administrator Dashboard and Reporting Web-based interface containing real-time data on threats intercepted or blocked by the service.

Integration with Other Security Software Service will integrate with existing security systems, such as firewalls, SOAR, SIEM, endpoint security, or other security components.
