At about this time last year, Office 365 had around 155 million users, and businesses continue to adopt its services at a rate of around 3 million users per month. But as subscription rates continue to grow, it becomes a growing target for cybercriminals <\/a>to spread phishing and ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big drawback of such a large hosted service is that if cybercriminals manage to take over one of its accounts, it can be used to spread thousands of phishing attacks. And because these attacks are sent from a legitimate Office 365 account, they are likely to get past Microsoft\u2019s Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To combat these growing threats, businesses are turning to third-party email security gateways, and there are plenty of them out there with a relatively standard set of anti-spam and anti-phishing features<\/a>, so to stand out from the competition, a solid email filtering solution must be easy to use while providing additional features such as archiving, compliance, and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For businesses on Office 365, Security Gateway offers stronger protection against email-borne threats, with account-verification controls <\/a>tailored specifically for Office 365 to ensure that only authorized users are permitted to send or receive email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
