Office 365 is an outstanding tool for business productivity and Microsoft provides robust security for customer data held in the cloud. But your users, workstations, servers, and data outside of the cloud all need additional security. With a third party security solution like Sophos Email integrated into Sophos Central, you can extend your office 365 protection.
Sophos Central is a cloud-managed platform that brings all of your security needs together into one easy to use package. It delivers advanced protection right across your corporate network for endpoints, mobile devices, web, email, WiFi, encryption, server and network. Activating the email protection on the Sophos Central can secure Office 365 from the latest spam, phishing and advanced threats. Some of the benefits include:
Block Stealth Attacks: Protect your employees from malicious website links with the advanced URL protection feature out-smarting attackers who slip phishing URLs past traditional gateways by delaying the upload of malware to websites until after the email is delivered. Sophos Time-of-Click checks website reputation before delivery and at the time you click, it blocks stealthy, delayed attacks.
Protect your Inbox: With Sophos Email Authentication, you can automate phishing imposter defense by protecting your employees from phishing attacks. Using a combination of SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication techniques and email header analysis, Sophos Email allows you to identify and allow legitimate emails from trusted partners, and block the imposter thus allowing you to trust your inbox again.
Email Continuity and Security: Sophos Email complements Office 365 by providing email spooling and an emergency inbox, so if Office 365 goes down, your email stays up.
Flexible Deployment: Sophos Email is flexible – you can create unique security policies for individuals, groups or the whole domain in minutes thereby saving you valuable time. Sophos Email Activation is completely in your control with administrator controls and end-user self-service for common day-to-day tasks.
Sophos Email deployment requires a simple MX record change to route email through Sophos Central, and you can bring in users and their mailboxes using the handy Azure and on premise Active Directory synchronization tools offered by Sophos.
