Feature Enhancement: Email Tracking

Admins are regularly under pressure to trouble shoot and track down email messages. Those messages may be misplaced business-critical emails, with staff demanding to know ASAP what happened to them. Or they may be threats that have slipped through and Admins are under the pump to track them down to avert disaster and remediate the risk by removing the malicious links and attachments lurking in employee inboxes.

 

Whatever the circumstance, the clock is ticking for the Admin and at times for their partners. With these use cases and more in mind, our team remain committed to providing the tools necessary to ensure Admins and partners are up to any challenge.

 

  • Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) Improvements

 

Because we understand that traceability and tracking of emails are paramount for security and compliance, MailGuard has invested heavily in improvements to its Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to enhance the user experience and performance. Recent updates provide for better visibility into the journey of emails through the tracker.

  • Backend Tracker Database Enhancements

 

Speed and efficiency are crucial in security operations (SecOps), so recent backend tracker database enhancements aim to significantly reduce the time taken to execute a search, and to minimise latency, enabling Admins to work more efficiently.

Keeping Businesses Safe and Secure

Prevention is always better than a cure, and one of the best defences is to encourage businesses to proactively boost their company’s cyber resilience levels to avoid threats landing in inboxes in the first place. The fact that a staggering 94% of malware attacks are delivered by email, makes email an extremely important vector for businesses to fortify.  

No one vendor can stop all email threats, so it’s crucial to remind customers that if they are using Microsoft 365, they should also have a third-party email security specialist in place to mitigate their risk. For example, using a third-party cloud email solution like MailGuard.   

MailGuard provides a range of solutions to keep businesses safe, from email filtering to email continuity and archiving solutions. Speak to your customers today to ensure they’re prepared, and get in touch with our team to discuss strengthening your customer’s Microsoft 365 security.
