Email-based cyber attacks continue to evolve, demanding better insight from leaders of the cybersecurity community. You need to know exactly how well your defenses are holding up. That’s why we’ve created this email service provider comparison tool.
We take a deep look into the security efficacy of leading email providers by combining real-world malware samples, email attack simulations, and our cutting-edge analysis techniques, to deliver a clear picture of these common email service providers, the security they offer, and what you need to do to close their security gaps.
Ready to see how your security compares to the likes of Google and Microsoft?
The Trystero Project is our ongoing experiment that pits common email service providers against real-world threats to assess and compare their security efficacy.
This recorded webinar will get you up to speed on the experiments itself. Or check out the live results from InQuest Labs to see our continuously updating data set.
There you will find a running tally of Google and Microsoft email services, a running score of how many threats they missed, and the relative performance of InQuest’s security solutions.
This ongoing experiment gives us a clear picture of the security gap left by these email service providers.
It’s also a perfect proving ground for our own security solutions. Knowing what major email service providers miss gives us powerful insight into where to focus our security efforts.
But first, we’ll need samples of real-world attacks. Lots of samples.
Leveraging our proprietary machine-learning and Deep File Inspection (DFI) technology, we analyze between 1 and 3 million malware samples each and every day, reducing this daily volume to only a few dozen items we deem “interesting.”
What makes an item “interesting?” Anything that manages to bypass all of the available security features of both Google and Microsoft.
Now that we have our data, what can we do with it?
The threats deemed “interesting” come from customer networks, crawler infrastructure, and partner organizations. But no matter where they come from, one thing is always true:
These are live-fire, real-world threats that have successfully breached the defenses of major email service providers.
Each day, InQuest collects dozens of these threats and sends them through your organization’s email.
This daily breach and attack simulation gives you the clearest, most honest look at the efficacy of your security stack.
To give you the most practical, useful data possible, we summarize, package, and share the results with you in a convenient daily report.
Much of the cybersecurity industry has focused solutions to executable malware. And for good reason. There has been an explosion of this type of malware in recent years.
But here at InQuest, we take a different approach. Instead of focusing solely on executables, we look higher up the chain to the carriers threat actors use to gain a foothold on their target networks.
That lets us find and stop more email threats than anyone else.
You already know there are serious security gaps in the major email service providers. Our email service provider comparison lays those security gaps bare so you can build the strongest defense possible.
