Think your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace filters are enough to keep your business safe, especially when you’re on the basic plans? Think again. In the current threat landscape, over 90% of cyberattacks start with an email. While major email providers offer baseline protection, modern attackers have learned exactly how to slide right past them.

Whether you use Outlook, Gmail, or a private server, relying solely on your provider is like having a front door lock but leaving the windows wide open.

The Evolution of the Inbox Attack

Today’s email threats are more sophisticated than the scams of the past. Attackers now use advanced techniques that bypass standard ISP and provider-level security:

• Time-Delayed URLs: Attackers send a “clean” link that passes initial inspection. Once the email is in your inbox, they redirect the URL to a malicious site.
• Living Off the Land: Hackers use legitimate tools and file formats to hide malicious scripts that standard filters don’t flag as “viruses.”
• AI-Enhanced Social Engineering: AI is used to mimic the writing style of your CEO or vendors, making phishing attempts nearly impossible for the untrained eye to spot.

If you are relying on the basic security provided by your local ISP or your default email settings, you are missing a critical layer of intelligence.

The Sophos Solution: Sophos Email and PhishThreat

To secure the most vulnerable entry point of your business, you need a solution that doesn’t just “filter” mail, but analyzes it.

Sophos Email Sandboxing

Sophos Email uses advanced Sandboxing technology. When an attachment or URL arrives, it is “detonated” in a secure, isolated virtual environment. Sophos observes the behavior of the file—if it tries to encrypt data or reach out to a suspicious server, it’s blocked before it ever reaches your user.

Sophos PhishThreat

Even the best software can’t stop a user from making a mistake. Sophos PhishThreat turns your employees into a “human firewall.” It automates phishing simulations based on real-world attacks, identifying vulnerable users and providing them with targeted training.
