1. A must-see for companies that have introduced Office365! What cloud email security should be implemented now

Many cyber crimes are said to start with emails. Although companies have introduced email security products and are taking countermeasures, attackers are still trying to infiltrate their systems using all sorts of means. In particular, the number of companies using Office365 has increased significantly, and simultaneous attacks are being carried out against multiple targets.

Unknown threat detection and analysis of various file types are important for safe use of Office365.

In this article, we will analyze the actual situation of targeted attacks and the gap between current security measures and introduce effective email security solutions for companies that are considering introducing Office365.

2. UEBA and machine learning – 5 benefits

Organizations must tackle cybersecurity threats with an in-depth security approach. Sophisticated attackers are prepared to evade defenses by blending into the environment as regular users and then laterally moving across the enterprise from there.

However, the problem with hierarchical security is that each control point generates hundreds or even thousands of logs per second, resulting in a large amount of noise and false positives. Attackers are becoming harder to detect.

Accurate user behavioral data combined with machine learning allows analysts to more accurately monitor users and entities while gaining deeper visibility into their respective activities. This article provides some examples of the power of UEBA.
