Sandstorm comes to Sophos Email Appliance: The next-gen sandboxing that stops targeted attacks

With 95% of targeted attacks beginning with an email, your secure email gateway is vitally important as your first line of defense.

Attackers are more frequently using previously-unknown malware to evade traditional protection. While conventional anti-malware protection is still essential as a first line of defense, organizations need additional tools to combat today’s targeted, unknown malware.

Unfortunately, many next-generation solutions designed to deal with unknown threats are too complex and expensive for many businesses to consider. And under-resourced small and mid-sized businesses definitely don’t want yet another point solution to clutter up their network.

That’s why we’re delivering Sophos Sandstorm as an option to Sophos Email Appliance (SEA).
