Egress

Egress, a KnowBe4 company, provides a cloud email security platform that focuses on protecting organizations from advanced phishing attacks and outbound data breaches. The platform uses an adaptive security model that continuously assesses human risk and dynamically adjusts policy controls based on user behavior and context. The company's technology leverages contextual machine learning and neural networks with cloud-native API architecture to deliver email protection. Their flagship product, Egress Protect, offers email encryption, large file transfer capabilities, and data loss prevention features that integrate directly with Microsoft Outlook. The platform uses AES256-bit message encryption at rest and in transit, with built-in integrity protection to detect message tampering. Egress serves organizations that handle sensitive information, including legal firms, financial services, and other professional services companies that need to share confidential data with external third parties. The platform provides visibility into human risk patterns, auditing capabilities, and centralized control over information flow through the Egress Security Center. The company operates through multiple entities across different regions, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia. Their approach differs from legacy encryption solutions like PGP and S/MIME by combining encryption with behavioral analysis and adaptive controls that respond to evolving threats and user risk profiles.
