Hornetsecurity sells data leak prevention with permission management for Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint. Hornetsecurity offers a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) service for maintaining a compliant SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive data infrastructure and preventing users from sharing sensitive information. When a user shares a site or a file against the organization's compliance policy, site owners receive immediate notification about the violation. If a violation has not been removed by the site owner or admin, it is removed automatically based on the policy settings. Hornetsecurity's user profiling awareness engine detects the level of users, sends out automated attack simulations and creates awareness trainings based on the user's needs. Hornetsecurity lets customers set up and manage DMARC, DKIM and SPF policies for multiple domains through a single centralized platform. Hornetsecurity's suite can warn users whenever malicious links are shared through Teams chats, and it can delete entire conversations containing malicious messages.[4][7][8]
Teams Protection protects a tenant from internal compromised accounts by scanning all messages containing URLs and issuing a warning message in the conversation through the AI Cyber Assistant bot. Email Security Analyst automates responses to user queries about potential threats, replacing traditional manual analysis. AI Recipient Validation uses machine learning to analyse emails based on a user's previous communications and triggers warnings in several instances. AI Recipient Validation is available for Microsoft 365 users on the latest versions of their Outlook Mail Client for Windows, Mac and Web. AI Recipient Validation analyses email texts and attachments in the local Outlook client, and they are not transmitted to Hornetsecurity's servers. The AI Recipient Validation dashboard gives administrators an overview of the warning instances that users are exposed to and the user actions after being notified.[9][10]
Secure Links replaces the original link in an email with a rewritten version that goes through Hornetsecurity's secure web gateway. Hornetsecurity's Sandbox Engine scans email attachments for potential malware by running the file in a virtual, isolated test environment. Hornetsecurity's QR Code Analyzer detects QR codes embedded directly into an email or an image. Hornetsecurity's spam filtering service includes policy-based attachment filtering with nested archive inspection. Hornetsecurity services such as Email Encryption, Email Archive or the Continuity Service can be added with one mouse click. If a customer's mail server is unavailable, Hornetsecurity stores incoming emails for up to 7 days. Hornetsecurity sells an email archiving service for M365 and other email servers.[4][11][12][13]
