Egress Prevent Features
- Contextual machine learning: using AI algorithms that continuously learn and deeply understand a user’s specific email patterns in order to spot abnormal behaviour

- Content category analysis: detecting any potential mismatch between a wider category of content and an email domain or specific recipient
- Automated encryption: analysing recipients, domains and message content to either request encryption or even block emails altogether
- Full mobile and OWA Support: enabling users to keep data safe on the move
- Risk analysis: offering different tiers of risk alerts for users to spot anomalies and determine the right course of action

Expert Insight
Egress Prevent is a strong tool for businesses to stop employees sending emails to the wrong people and, in doing so, put sensitive data at risk. The platform is based on self-learning machine learning systems which sit within the email network. It analyses conversation histories to build a knowledge of who a user emails based on historical information. It uses this to alert users when they think they have accidentally addressed an email to the wrong person and suggest contacts they should send it to instead. This can be useful to stop confidential data leaking and meet legal compliance. It’s easy to deploy, and works within existing email clients. For end users, the only change is a message that will pop up, telling them that they may have made a mistake. The platform also offers businesses reporting which shows how accurately the platform is working.
This platform is expensive and so it suited to larger organisations looking to take steps to secure their data. It’s important to note that this is part of a stack of email security features offered by Egress and so on it’s own will not provide any protection from email threats such as spam or phishing attacks. However, Egress does offer a strong platform to help employees protect themselves from making small email mistakes that could put data at risk. Enterprise customers looking purely for misaddressed email protection should consider this platform.
