Industrial Manufacturer Case Study on Email Protection

This case study details the experience of a leading industrial manufacturer in implementing Cloud Email Protection to combat credential phishing and impersonation attacks. The company, which specializes in safety equipment for industrial absorbents, faced significant challenges following a sophisticated cyberattack in 2018 that nearly compromised its operations. After this incident, the organization sought to enhance its email security measures beyond the built-in protections of Microsoft 365. The InfoSec team prioritized a multi-layered email security strategy, ultimately selecting Agari as their solution provider. The implementation of Cloud Email Protection resulted in a dramatic decrease in phishing attacks, with the company reporting a near-zero rate of credential stealing and impersonation incidents. The Head of Email Security emphasized the importance of not solely relying on Microsoft 365 for email security and advocated for a comprehensive approach to safeguard against potential threats. The case study illustrates the critical need for robust email security measures in today’s digital landscape.
