Email protection

Inbound analysis. URL & attachment sandboxing. BEC defense.

Overview

What MX does.

Email Protection inspects every inbound message, attachment and URL via API integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — no MX record changes required. Suspicious URLs are detonated in an isolated sandbox; attachments are statically and dynamically analyzed; sender reputation, header anomalies and tone-of-voice are all scored. When a user clicks anyway, the click becomes an EDR signal in the same timeline.

The landscape

Where the market stands today.

Email is still the #1 initial access vector. Most email security vendors focus on phishing detection but treat the rest of the stack as someone else's problem. Protoxol Email feeds every signal back into the same correlation engine.

Vendor Strength Tradeoff
Proofpoint Best-in-class anti-phishing. Rich threat data. Expensive. Slow to integrate with broader SOC.
Abnormal Security Strong BEC and account takeover detection. Email-only — siloed from endpoint/network signals.
Microsoft Defender for Office Tight M365 integration. Bundled licensing. Weaker against modern BEC. UI fragmented.
