Solution
The IT and Cyber team were looking for an Office 365 advanced threat detection solution quick and easy to integrate that, on one hand, will not negatively affect the end-users’ experience, and on the other hand will deliver the highest level of detection. With Perception Point’s simple integration to Office 365, the team was able to instantly provide prevention of malicious URL’s, files, and payload-less attacks, whilst still maintaining the built-in defense of Office 365.
Moreover, after seeing immediate results on their email, they have decided to expand the POC to check whether they are vulnerable to cloud storage-borne attacks. Since they did not have protection on their OneDrive but felt this might be a source of incoming attacks that were missed. Accordingly, they chose to deploy Perception Point’s Advanced Cloud Storage Security as well. In literally one-click, all of their traffic uploaded to their OneDrive was immediately scanned.
Within 3 months of protecting the organization, Perception Point prevented 52,000 malicious incidents with 90% coming from the Email and 10% OneDrive.( this is 3 months in the org but the % doesn’t include spam)
Summary
“Since implementing Perception Point for Office 365 advanced threat protection, not only have we seen a strong detection rate but a significant decrease in the number of false positives, which comes from the strength of their Incident Response Team” says a senior member of their Cyber Team. Perception Point’s unique detection layers combined with a real Incident Response Team, allows the IT and Cyber team to transform their email security and cloud storage security while saving email management time to allow a focus on other business functions.”
