Fight AI with AI – How can Microsoft 365 users stay protected against AI phishing attacks
Published: 25th November 2020
As a Microsoft Gold Cloud Adoption partner, Enhanced have supported many businesses across the UK. With the implementation of Microsoft Cloud Solutions, our systems utilise Microsoft 365.
The 2020 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of this now mainstream Microsoft suite. But this has also brought a massive increase in phishing attacks as users move from office working to remote working.
This has all occurred as cyber criminals are starting to use AI to infiltrate companies. The AI can steal user access credentials as well as important company and personal data.
Enhanced has seen Microsoft 365 emails become a prime target for cyber criminals to attack. They now use sophisticated phishing attacks, business email compromise and data leakage to carry out the offence.
So, to build on and enhance the protections that Microsoft 365 offers, Enhanced have partnered with Darktrace. The industry-leading suppliers of AI-driven anti threat solutions have delivered Darktrace Antigena Email. This is their latest product for Microsoft 365.
