Egress, a KnowBe4 company, is the only cloud email security provider to continuously assess human risk and dynamically adapt policy controls, defending against advanced phishing attacks and outbound data breaches. Leveraging contextual machine learning and neural networks, with seamless integration using cloud-native API architecture, Egress provides enhanced email protection and instant time to value. 

80% of data exists in unstructured format - in the emails, attachments and documents we work with daily. This opens the door to significant risks, particularly as employees use email to send and receive sensitive information.

The UK Information Commissioner’s Office’s own trends show that data exposed to unauthorised access has been the top cause of reported security incidents, and recent research into this problem shows that the average organisation experiences an email data breach every 12 working hours. This problem is only growing, with an even greater reliance on email by employees since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hear from Tony Pepper, CEO, Egress and Kathryn Cardose, Head of Cyber Operations at Virgin Money as they discuss the risks that enterprises face from email, and the strategies you should be taking to prevent security incidents.

Gain insights into:

- How to identify and map the operational and other risks in your organisation, especially those linked to email use


- What are the threats and remote working on email security


- Key considerations for remediating risks to unstructured data, including technological controls

The Security of Artificial Intelligence

Data breach litigation is the new PPI – and outbound email is the revolving door for claims! We’re moving into a new era of data protection: with class action lawsuits becoming an inevitable and costly outcome of almost every data breach. In fact, as reports hit the headlines of personal data exposed to unauthorised access, law firms specialising in group litigation are simultaneously creating webpages to cater to data subjects looking for recompense.

Against this backdrop, 93% of organisations have experienced data loss via outbound email over 12 months, at an average rate of one incident every 12 working hours. In association with PrivSec Global, Jamie Davies from Egress, a KnowBe4 company, will be providing insights into:

- Understanding the impact of group litigation, drawing from recent examples in the news


- Learning how COVID-19 has impacted email security


- Uncovering the limitations of the native security controls available in email environments like Microsoft 365 and other static technologies


- Discovering how Egress use contextual machine learning and advanced DLP to detect email data breaches and prevent them before they happen

Preventing Email Errors From Leading to Lawsuits

Cybercriminals are constantly finding ways to evolve their phishing attacks to get through traditional email security defenses. Join James Dyer, Threat Intelligence Lead at Egress, a KnowBe4 Company, and Tom Allen, Editor at Computing as they discuss some of these new techniques as covered in the latest Phishing Threat Trends Report, including:

- The rise of quishing and evolution of payloads

- How AI is used in phishing attacks, including deepfakes

- How multi-channel attacks play out

- The threats that are getting through secure email gateways

From quishing to deepfakes: The latest phishing threat trends for 2024

The reality is, you can’t stop people from using email – so there will always be risk from inbound and outbound threats. Traditional secure email gateways (SEGs) cannot be depended on to effectively defend people from advanced phishing attacks and prevent them from leaking sensitive data.
