Tessian Cloud Email Security Platform is an outlook solution that looks and learns users behaviors. It will alert a user to a suspicious inbound email and point specifically to the items that are questionable, not only protecting the user, but providing real-time training to them in their own Inbox. It also monitors outbound communications and will alert if a user mis-directs an email and recommend suggestions

Pros

alert on mis-directed email

Cons

I would like to see more customization on the alerting, colors, fonts, etc

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tessian was put in place to better assist users with avoiding account compromises and reduce our security exposure through email. Tessian was used across the organization for every user.

Pros

Clear alerts within emails to provide context to emails.
Fairly easy to deploy across the organization.

Cons

The Outlook Add-In broke several systems during use.
There are many changes to the account reps and engineers assigned to us. As a result, we lost touch with Tessian.
Lack of knowledge and help from Support during times when the Add-In was disrupting users.

Return on Investment

Early ROI due to users having more information about potential scams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Solid plug-and-play solution for email security, is specifically nice with g-suite since the built-in email security tools are pretty limited. Very intuitive and simple interface, and feels like it could be used by someone who's not hard technical without much issue. Has some pretty simplistic DLP functionality built-in which is a nice bonus as it gives you some basic tools to work with.

Pros

simplicity
plug-and-play
low-hassle

Cons

maturity
transparency as to how detections work
power-user features
API

Most Important Features

easy
fast
decent coverage

Alternatives Considered

Abnormal Security
