Overview Resources Licensing

Comprehensive defence for the most damaging threats

Expansive email security protects your employees and organisation, while empowering your security response.

Harness advanced threat analysis

Identify the malicious techniques used in attacks targeting your organisation. Understand the specific business risks and categorise threats to gain insight into the parts of your organisation that are most vulnerable to attack.

Gain deeper threat insight and context

AI-driven threat detection uses multiple detection engines to simultaneously evaluate different portions of an incoming email. These verdict details help ensure accurate threat classification, identify business risk and promote an appropriate response action.

Optimise your defences

Threats come from numerous sources: phishing, business email compromise, malware and ransomware. Defend against all of them with industry-leading threat intelligence that empowers you to act quickly.

Remediate faster

Using rapid message remediation directly in Email Threat Defense or through Cisco XDR empowers your team to act quickly and easily to help ensure maximum threat protection.
