Is Microsoft Defender Enough?

Discover how one major energy company enhanced its cybersecurity by integrating Perception Point’s advanced email security solution with Microsoft Defender, blocking over 400,000 attacks in just four months.


The protection of digital communication or information.

In the realm of cybersecurity, especially for critical sectors like energy, the stakes are high. One leading multinational in the gas and engineering industry, with over $25 billion in annual revenue, faced the daunting task of securing its expansive network from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Although their Microsoft 365 security measures provided a solid foundation, they recognized the need for an advanced email security solution to bolster their defenses.


Challenges in Securing a Vast Network


The energy giant’s existing security infrastructure was robust but faced limitations. With a complex Microsoft 365 environment supporting over 60,000 users across various regions, they needed a security solution that could integrate seamlessly without causing disruptions. The solution had to be scalable to meet both current and future needs, ensuring comprehensive protection across diverse user requirements.


The Solution: Perception Point’s Advanced Email Security


Perception Point’s Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) solution emerged as the ideal complement to Microsoft Defender. Here’s how it made a difference:

  • Agile Deployment: Perception Point facilitated a phased rollout, aligning perfectly with the existing Office 365 setup. This approach minimized disruptions and ensured a smooth transition across different regions.

  • Flexible Integration: The solution was customized to address the unique needs of various regions and users, providing tailored protection where it was most needed.

  • Cloud-Native Scalability: With its cloud-native architecture, Perception Point’s solution scaled effortlessly to accommodate future growth, ensuring continuous effectiveness as the user base expanded.


Proven Impact: Over 400,000 Attacks Blocked in Four Months


The results were impressive. Within just four months, Perception Point’s ICES solution blocked over 400,000 malicious attacks and filtered out 1.6 million spam emails. Its real-time dynamic scanning delivered robust protection without compromising email processing speed.
