All managed via a single, central console thanks to 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup

Las Vegas, NV, December 7, 2021: Hornetsecurity is showcasing 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup, its latest solution, at the Microsoft 365 Collaboration Conference in Las Vegas this week. This new solution provides Microsoft 365 business users with the security and data loss prevention they require. Event attendees can request a product demo at Booth 301.

Covering all aspects of email and data security for Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is primarily a communication and productivity platform rather than an email security system. It is therefore essential for M365 users to use third-party email and data protection. To address this need, Hornetsecurity has launched an industry-first, all-in-one service: 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup, which covers all aspects of email and data security for Microsoft 365.

The holistic cloud security bundle offers a wide array of high-performance, award-winning email security and management features including:

• Multi-level filter systems
• AI-based analysis mechanisms for protection against phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malware, and advanced threats
• Email encryption and archiving
• Email continuity, which effectively maintains email traffic during system failures
• Easy-to-create, legally compliant signatures and disclaimers.

Robust backup and recovery functionality

In addition, 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup also enables automatic backup and recovery of an organization’s Microsoft 365 mailboxes, user and group Team Chats, SharePoint and OneDrive, as well as backing up the data in users’ Windows-based endpoints such as laptops or Windows workstations.

Robust backup and recovery functionality is essential for holistic Microsoft 365 security as data loss occurs not only due to ransomware and malware, but also due to user error – for example, KPMG accidentally but irretrievably deleted the Teams chats of 145,000 employees last year. It is often assumed that Microsoft creates extensive backups of all data, but this is not the case.

Free trial and live demo

Information about and a free trial of 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup is available at https://www.hornetsecurity.com/en/services/365-total-protection-enterprise-backup/. It is being demonstrated at the Hornetsecurity booth, #301, at the Microsoft 365 Collaboration Conference 2021.

This is the sixth time Hornetsecurity has won the award since 2014. Deloitte recognizes companies that build their basis for success on new technologies and master the challenge of balancing between growth, expansion, and adaptation.

With COVID and the rise of remote work, we have seen more than ever the importance technology holds in enabling and improving our workdays. Emails in particular are central to remote collaboration within and between organizations of all sizes. Sensing an opportunity, cybercriminals of all types have stepped up their assaults. It’s no wonder then that cybersecurity services like Hornetsecurity’s are facing unprecedented demand.

“While digital technologies were still a nice-to-have a few years ago, the picture is now very different: Digital technologies are now indispensable to most companies because they make companies fit for the future and provide them with innovative tools to successfully meet the challenges of our time. With their products and services, the winners show how innovations and entrepreneurial success can be combined,” says Dr. Andreas Gentner, Partner and Industry Lead Technology, Media and Telecommunications at Deloitte.

The key to Hornetsecurity’s success was the 365 Total Protection suite which is the only solution on the market to cover all aspects of security, compliance, and backup for Microsoft 365.

About Hornetsecurity

Its flagship product is the most extensive cloud security solution for Microsoft 365 on the market, providing robust, comprehensive, award-winning protection: Spam and virus filtering, protection against phishing and ransomware, legally compliant archiving and encryption, advanced threat protection, email continuity, signatures and disclaimers.

The study on ransomware, conducted by cybersecurity experts at Hornetsecurity, also found that almost 1 in 10 ransomware victims paid the ransom.

Pittsburgh, PA, 7 October, 2021: A recent survey of 820+ businesses found that 21% of respondents had been the victim of a ransomware attack to date.  Ransomware is one of the most common and effective forms of cyber threat, whereby attackers encrypt an organization’s data, rendering it unusable until a ransom is paid.

Over 9% of surveyed ransomware victims paid the ransom

Of the 21% of companies that reported a ransomware attack, 9.2% recovered the data by paying the demanded ransom. The remaining respondents recovered the ransomed data through backups, yet some still reported losing data in the process.

According to the results, companies with 201-500 employees reported the highest incidence of ransomware attacks (25.3%), while those employing 1-50 had the lowest (18.7%). In geographical terms, 19.6% of North American companies reported attacks, while those based in Europe reported 21.2%.

Over 15% of companies do not protect backups from ransomware

15.2% of all survey respondents indicated that their company does not protect their backups from ransomware. Moreover, the survey also found that 17.2% of reported ransomware attacks targeted backup storage. These results reveal a cause for concern:  that standard on-site backups do not offer 100% protection against ransomware attacks. Indeed, backups must be protected against ransomware attacks through methods such as air-gapped, offsite storage or immutable storage – two commonly reported protection methods in this survey.

15.9% of respondents also reported having no disaster recovery plan in place, meaning they are typically unprepared and unequipped to deal with an attack.

28.7% of companies do not provide training to end-users on how to recognize and flag potential ransomware attacks

End-users represent one of the most effective methods-of-entry for ransomware attackers. Through social engineering techniques such as email phishing, end-users are manipulated into providing opportunities for malicious software to be introduced into company systems. According to this survey, more than 1 out of every 4 organizations (28.7%) do not provide training to end-users on how to recognize and handle potential ransomware threats.

Most common forms of backup and ransomware protection and prevention

71.3% of companies changed the way they back up their data in response to the threat of ransomware. The two most common forms of prevention observed in the survey are end-point detection software with anti-ransomware capabilities (75.6%), and email filtration and threat analysis (76.1%). Air-gapped, offsite storage is reported to be used 47.8% of the time – a low percentage when considering its effectiveness at enabling extraordinary data recovery.

Hannover, Germany, September 9, 2021: Hornetsecurity has released a new solution to provide Microsoft 365 business users with the security and data loss prevention they require.  Microsoft 365’s default protection is not enough: Its built-in email filters let threats through, making it necessary to acquire additional security for data and email communications.

365 Threat Monitor detects breaches like ransomware, issues real-time alerts, and permits instant threat deletion

Pittsburgh, PN, USA, 22 July 2021 – 365 Threat Monitor is a new mobile app for systems administrators to detect and delete any threats that breach their Microsoft 365 environment. It monitors a company’s Microsoft 365 mailboxes and identifies malicious emails the instant they reach an inbox. It immediately sends a phone alert in real time so the administrator can instantly delete it with just one click, and prevent any damage – even remotely.

The first 10,000 M365 IT administrators who sign up for the app will benefit from use of the app for free forever.

Prevents M365 users from unleashing a security catastrophe

Developed by Hornetsecurity, 365 Threat Monitor detects all kinds of suspicious and malicious emails that have made it to users’ inboxes, such as ransomware, viruses, spyware, phishing attacks, spoofed sender identities and content, spam, and targeted attacks on specific data – like credit card data, invoices, etc. – and users like Accounting, CFO, CEO, HR, etc. This is important, as one click on an email threat by a distracted or naive user could wreak havoc on an organization.

Encouraging systems administrators to boost their M365 security – for free

Hornetsecurity developed this app to address an issue faced by many organizations using Microsoft 365, that mistakenly believe Microsoft provides adequate protection against email threats such as ransomware, phishing and spam. This is not the case, however: email threats often slip through and enter users’ inboxes, able to cause extensive damage. Using this new app, system administrators can now see how often this happens and instantly delete threats that breach their system with just one click on their phone.

“We are passionate about email security and it is our mission to enhance awareness about email threats and how to combat them. That’s why we released this app today. We are also making it free forever for the first 10,000 Microsoft 365 admins who sign up for it,” said Daniel Hofmann, Hornetsecurity CEO.

Powerful proprietary technologies to detect and delete email threats

“Surveys show that 52% of Microsoft 365 users believe it is safe enough. This is not the case, so we want to show admins the extent of the problem, while providing them with a solution. 365 Threat Monitor shows administrators which threats bypassed Microsoft protection and what damage could occur without an adequate security layer,” Mr. Hofmann explained.

To provide admins with utmost reliability, 365 Threat Monitor combines Hornetsecurity’s powerful, proprietary technologies to plug security gaps. These include Email Live Tracking, Threat Defense and Forensic Analyses, which detect attacks through real-time scanning for harmful content, heuristic filtering, and authenticity and integrity verification.

Speedy install and instant security status insights

Its security dashboard gives admins an at-a-glance overview of their current M365 security status and provides reports such as top email threats faced by their organization and the most targeted inboxes.

Additionally, it only takes a few seconds for admins to boost their M365 security across all their users: They simply need to download the app, enter their M365 admin email address, and connect with Microsoft.

How to get the app

Microsoft 365 administrators can download 365 Threat Monitor app from Android and iOS app stores. The first 10,000 M365 admins who register for it will benefit from a forever-free version.

Hanover, (8 July, 2021) – For millions of business customers, Microsoft 365 is a fundamental communications platform through which sensitive files and data are exchanged. However, Microsoft is a communicatiiosn paltform not a data protection solution so if system failures or cyberattacks result in the loss of important company information, Microsoft does not offer native options for backing up and restoring these. Leading email cloud security provider Hornetsecurity is addressing this issue through 365 Total Backup , a new comprehensive backup and recovery solution for Microsoft 365 mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive for Business accounts, SharePoint document libraries and even Windows endpoints.

Automatic backup and recovery of all Microsoft 365 data, easy configuration and multi-tenant management: these and other benefits characterize the latest security solution from Hornetsecurity. The service is set up within minutes. Customers can manage and monitor all backup and recovery activities for all their comapny‘s Microsoft 365 data via a user-friendly backup dashboard. Backups are fully automated and can be performed several times a day.

“Businesses’ awareness of the potential impact of successful cyberattacks on their operations is increasing – and so is the demand for powerful and reliable data loss prevention solutions in the Microsoft 365 environment,” says Daniel Hofmann, CEO of Hornetsecurity.  “However, many people do not realise that Microsoft itself does not provide sufficient security mechanisms. For example, KPMG accidentally deleted the Teams chats of 145,000 employees last year. For our partners, 365 Total Backup is therefore a key component in being able to secure their customers’ data in the Microsoft cloud in accordance with applicable IT guidelines.”

365 Total Backup can be combined with the security and compliance management service, 365 Total Protection, to form the comprehensive cloud security bundle, 365 Total Protection Enterprise Backup, which enables Microsoft 365 users to protect their email communication, be compliant, and keep important and sensitive data safe at all times.
