Company mission
To eliminate the most complex cybersecurity challenge every organization faces: insider risk.
Our take
While hybrid and remote working is convenient for businesses and employees, it comes at a security cost. With more emails than ever before being sent and received there's far more scope for employees to accidentally leak confidential data, or for cybercriminals to commit fraud using legitimate-looking communications. Egress exists to solve this problem, providing a layer of security to Office365 that protects users from fraudulent activity and companies from data leaks.
Egress competes with traditional data loss prevention tools, which also aim to address data-related threats. However Egress stands out as the only company which focuses on the human layer, using machine learning models to analyse not only the content but also the context of communications before they arrive in a company inbox. It also generates "teachable moments" in real-time : when an employee takes a potentially risky action, the system explains the issue while preventing it causing any harm.
This novel approach has gained it numerous awards (such as the 2021 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award) and the custom of major brands including Bupa, BAE Systems and The National Archives, among many others. Egress is continuing to develop its product and expand its market share, in particular in Europe and North America. With the threat of insider risk caused by email communications only on the rise, this company is in an excellent position to continue its growth.
