Tessian, a UK company transforming the way
enterprises secure their email, has announced
that UK property portal Rightmove has
implemented its machine intelligent email security
platform. As part of its wider cybersecurity
strategy, Rightmove was looking for a robust
solution that would prevent data loss caused by
human error. The company turned to Tessian.
Listed on the London Stock Exchange and a
constituent of the FTSE 100 Index, Rightmove
wanted to eliminate the threat of misaddressed
emails. Additionally, it was keen to ensure that
sensitive information was not being sent to
unauthorised accounts. It needed a solution that
would work across the various operating systems
and devices that its employees use.
After reviewing Tessian’s solution, Rightmove
elected for two machine intelligent filters –
Guardian and Enforcer – and promptly deployed
the platform across its UK-based operations.
By applying machine intelligence to historical
email data, Tessian learns the relationships
between employees and their email contacts,
both internal and external. It understands normal
email communication patterns and therefore can
automatically detect anomalous activity.
At the heart of Tessian’s technology is the
Tessian Relationship Graph. Guardian’s machine
intelligence prevents emails being sent to the
wrong person through inadvertent human
error, while Enforcer identifies and stops highly
sensitive emails being deliberately sent to
unauthorised personal email accounts.
“We needed a solution that would
thoroughly manage our outgoing emails
without significant disruption to our
employees and customers,” said David
Cray, Head of Customer Experience and
Product Development at Rightmove.
“The Tessian platform seemed like
a good solution for Rightmove as it
causes minimum disruption to staff while
reinforcing our internal data security
policies and training.
“This tool is an important part of our
overall security strategy and one solution
that Rightmove employees can easily
engage with to help keep them and the
business safe from human error.”
Rightmove.co.uk is the UK’s largest
property website, advertising around
90% of all homes for sale via estate
agents across the UK.
It enables people to search over one
million properties for residential resale,
new homes, rentals, commercial and
overseas properties on Rightmove.
Tools and information people can access
on the site include sold prices, maps,
nearby schools and ratings using a
school checker tool, street view and
floor plans while the service is directed
at four key membership groups: estate
agents, lettings agents, new homes
developers and overseas home agents.
