Does Microsoft 365 include email security?

Microsoft 365 includes basic spam filtering, but advanced threats like targeted phishing, session hijacking, and rogue OAuth applications require dedicated email security with identity threat detection. Our solution layers on top of Microsoft 365 to monitor sign-in activity, detect account takeover, and revoke compromised sessions — stopping BEC attacks that basic filters miss.

What is business email compromise (BEC)?

BEC is an identity-based attack where criminals compromise email accounts through stolen credentials, session hijacking, or rogue OAuth applications — then impersonate the account owner to redirect payments or steal data. BEC resulted in over $6.3 billion in losses in 2024. Identity threat detection monitors for these techniques and contains compromised accounts within minutes.

How does AI-powered email security work?

AI analyzes sender behavior patterns, email content, URLs, and attachments to detect sophisticated threats that bypass traditional filters, including zero-day attacks and social engineering.

Will email security disrupt legitimate messages?

Modern email security platforms are highly accurate, quarantining only genuine threats while allowing legitimate business email through with minimal false positives.

How Modern BEC Attacks Work

Today's business email compromise goes far beyond simple phishing links. Attackers exploit trusted sessions and cloud applications to bypass traditional email filters entirely.

Session Hijacking

Attackers steal active login sessions to bypass MFA entirely. Once inside, they operate as the legitimate user, reading emails and sending messages from the compromised account.

Rogue OAuth Apps

Malicious third-party applications request email access permissions. Once authorized, they maintain persistent access to mailboxes without needing the user's password.

Inbox Rule Manipulation

Attackers create hidden email rules to forward messages, delete security alerts, or redirect financial communications without the user's knowledge.

Beyond Email Filtering: Identity-Based Threat Detection

Traditional email filters stop known threats. Identity threat detection catches what gets through — the compromised accounts, stolen sessions, and rogue applications that filters can't see.

3-Minute Response to Account Takeover

When a compromised account is detected, the response is immediate: the account is disabled, active sessions are revoked, and malicious inbox rules are removed — all within minutes, 24/7.

Unwanted Access Detection

Logins from unexpected countries, VPNs, proxies, and known malicious infrastructure are flagged and blocked. Over 75% of account takeovers originate from VPNs, proxies, and tunnels.

MFA Bypass Detection

Adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks account for 18.9% of all identity threats. Our monitoring detects credential theft and session hijacking that bypass MFA entirely.

Data Exfiltration Timeline

When a BEC incident occurs, a complete timeline of malicious activity is generated — showing exactly what was accessed, forwarded, or exfiltrated during the compromise window.

Email is Your Most Vulnerable Channel

Email remains the primary attack vector for cybercriminals. Phishing, malware attachments, and business email compromise schemes cost businesses billions annually. But modern BEC is an identity problem, not just an email problem — attackers log in rather than break in. Advanced email security combines AI-powered filtering to block threats at the gateway with identity threat detection to catch compromised accounts, stolen sessions, and rogue applications that email filters can't see.

Construction firms exchanging bid documents and payment details, and mining companies managing vendor communications and compliance reporting, face targeted email attacks designed to steal credentials or redirect financial transactions. With 78% of breaches now involving identity-based techniques, email protection must extend beyond the inbox to the identity layer.

Seamless Integration with Microsoft 365

Our email security integrates directly with Microsoft 365, adding advanced protection without disrupting workflows. Email filtering operates at the gateway, while identity threat detection monitors sign-in activity, OAuth application behavior, and mailbox rule changes continuously. Suspicious emails are quarantined automatically. Compromised accounts are disabled and sessions revoked within minutes. Administrators get actionable threat intelligence, data exfiltration timelines, and compliance reporting from a single platform — no complex configurations required. For domain-level protection, see our email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) services.
