With 95% of targeted attacks beginning with an email, your secure email gateway is vitally important as your first line of defense. Attackers are more frequently using previously-unknown malware to evade traditional protection. While conventional anti-malware protection is still essential as a first line of defense, organizations need additional tools to combat today’s targeted, unknown malware.

Unfortunately, many next-generation solutions designed to deal with unknown threats are too complex and expensive for many businesses to consider. And under-resourced small and mid-sized businesses definitely don’t want yet another point solution to clutter up their network.

That’s why we’re delivering Sophos Sandstorm as an option to Sophos Email Appliance (SEA). Sandstorm is an advanced malware defense solution that complements Sophos security products to quickly and accurately detect, block and respond to evasive threats using powerful, cloud-based sandbox technology.
