Avanan Primary Use Case

DM
Chief Information Security Officer at a media company with 201-500 employees

We have three instances of environments: 

  1. All of our corporate stuff. 
  2. A fake company that we test things with. 
  3. An area for all the shows.

Each show is treated as its own company. When you have green-lit a movie, you say, "I have $50 million to make this movie," then they just burn it down. Once the money is gone, it's gone. Once you make the movie and you deliver it for distribution, then you don't need the company anymore. You just dissolve it and everybody who invested into that gets the return on investment. 

We are cloud first, so we are 100% cloud. We don't have a data center. We use SaaS applications and platforms. Avanan is a cloud-based solution that is bolted into Office 365 via an API. We are using a service that is provided to us from Microsoft. We added the Avanan API from the Microsoft stack to integrate into our Office 365 environment. So, we are using Avanan's service, then we just link the two together.

We were looking for a good email security solution for our enterprise applications. We evaluated multiple solutions available in the market, and after reading some reviews and doing some research, we adopted the Avanan Cloud Email Security solution for our organization. It is an end-to-end security solution for email services for our Microsoft-based Office solutions and Google Workspace.

The AI-based solution looks into emails from unknown senders, like spam emails. It searches for, analyzes, and removes those emails. The intelligence within the solution is perfect.

Overall, it is a good solution because it simply secures all of our emails.

Security Admin at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

We required a security tool for our email environments. We used Microsoft Office 365, a security solution for both email and collaborative tools, all in a centralized environment to facilitate the administration of the company's security tools.

We needed to protect ourselves against threats such as phishing and malware, among others.

We also needed a tool that provides DLP protection to avoid problems of theft of sensitive company information.

Our environment uses SharePoint and OneDrive, and we had plans to provide security in them.

Database & Internal Processes Coordinator at Legacy Project Services Group

We use the solution for email security. We were getting phishing and impersonation attacks. We noticed that we (IT) were getting emails asking if random emails were legit, which were obviously not. This scared us and we began to worry about ransomware since we deal with sensitive customer/client info. We needed a solution fast. Being a small company, we needed the biggest bang for our buck so we looked at pricing, including if implementation was extra, which is more common than you think. Once implemented, it handles itself and all we have to do is review threats.
