Their security team was small and tasked with complete protection. The team originally investigated and signed up for the SlashNext browser extension to boost their security in-depth posturing and stop malicious links at the time of click no matter how the links were delivered to the the end user. As a result of the success of the extension in the Lincoln International environment, the company’s CIO decided to add SlashNext Email+ Security on top of Microsoft 365 as a supplement to prevent any malicious emails from reaching their users.
Within the first month of running SlashNext Email+ Security as a supplement to the company’s Microsoft protection, hundreds of threats were blocked that originally bypassed Microsoft defenses. In addition, a significant number of spear phishing threats were blocked against many of their managing directors. Threats blocked included those from both link- and file-based threats. SlashNext was deployed in minutes and allowed immediate peace of mind for the Lincoln Financial CIO and the security team.
