T delivering the future of extended detection and response ( XDR ), has announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency ( DISA ) Zero Day Network Defense Program has selected Trellix to protect more than four million email inboxes across the US Department of Defense ( DoD ).
Building on a nearly two-decade-long relationship with DISA , Trellix email protection advances the agency ’ s Zero Trust Architecture ( ZTA ) adoption and will enable it to migrate on-premises infrastructure to the cloud .
The flexible email security solution from Trellix includes advanced integrations with Microsoft Office 365 and third-party cybersecurity tools , enhancing DoD investments while meeting stringent DoD security requirements , including FedRAMP High and IL5 certification . With Trellix Email Security , the DoD benefits from :
• Improved detection and prevention of nation-state attacks : Industry-leading hyper-automated detection stops more advanced persistent and nation-state threats than any other offering on the market . Along with consistent visibility and telemetry into attacker campaigns , the DoD is empowered with threat intelligence required to inform future email security plans and investments .
• Reduced cost and maintenance : Cloud migration provides cost savings and ease of maintenance while ensuring the DoD has access to a flexible solution capable of operating in the cloud or on-premises .
• Accelerated ZTA compliance : ZTA is a security model assuming users and devices inside and outside an organisation ’ s network have been breached and cannot be trusted . The Executive Order on Improving the Nation ’ s Cybersecurity aims to advance the nation ’ s cybersecurity posture through the adoption of ZTA-compliant technology across the Federal Government . Trellix Email Security supports the tenets of ZTA by ensuring protection against zero-day email attacks .
Zero-day attacks are exploited by cybercriminals before known malicious markers or vulnerabilities have been identified and before protections or patches are deployed . Attackers use sophisticated phishing , spear-phishing and malicious attachments to exploit zero-day attacks via email , and the growing use of GenAI by cybercriminals makes email attacks easier to develop , plan and execute at scale .
“ DISA supports DoD agencies in better conducting their missions while leading technology best practices and adoption across US government agencies ,” said Gareth Maclachlan , Networking and Collaboration Security General Manager at Trellix . “ Without secure email solutions , organisations face the growing threat of sophisticated actors entering their infrastructure to conduct espionage , steal or damage data . Protection for unknown email threats is imperative for all organisations , and even more critical for the agencies protecting national security .”
