Expel adds active defense for combating email threats

Expel, a leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, is expanding its MDR service to proactively defend email—aided by new integrations with Proofpoint, Abnormal AI, and Sublime Security.

According to the company, this innovative approach allows customers to shift left in identifying email threats earlier in the attack lifecycle, reducing risk and improving their security posture.

“Identity-based incidents, largely originating from emails, made up 68% of all incidents among Expel customers last year,” said Yonni Shelmerdine, chief product officer, Expel. “Incorporating email threat data enables us to identify and block attacks as soon as they hit the inbox and gives customers insight into the threat actors working to gain access to their organization. We’re delivering the most comprehensive MDR solution in the market, and these capabilities further solidify that commitment while providing our customers with unparalleled visibility and protection across critical attack vectors.”

With unique, Expel-written detections designed specifically for email security tools and technologies, this innovation helps minimize unnecessary alerts and email-based threats.

Early detection and response is a critical component for modern organizations looking to bolster their risk reduction strategy against pervasive threats.

Expel seamlessly integrates with and injects additional context from industry-leading email security tools, correlating across endpoint, user, and network activity to uncover the full scope of email-based attacks, and then takes action to mitigate those threats, the company said.

This expansion furthers Expel’s dedication to securing all its customers’ most critical attack surfaces, with more than 130 integrations spanning endpoint, cloud, Kubernetes, SaaS, network, SIEM, email, identity, and more.
