Fortra Email Security & Anti-Phishing
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in phishing and BEC attacks will see immediate ROI from Fortra Email Security & Anti-Phishing because its DMARC enforcement and account takeover detection actually stop the attacks that make it past your initial filters. The platform covers five of the five NIST CSF 2.0 Protect and Detect functions, with particular strength in continuous monitoring and identity controls that catch lateral movement after compromise. Skip this if your organization needs a single unified email and web gateway; Fortra is email-focused and doesn't pretend otherwise.
Mid-market and enterprise teams already running Sophos endpoint or MDR will extract real value from Sophos Email because the threat intelligence flows both directions, catching BEC and supply-chain phishing that isolated email gateways miss. The 20+ ML models and native integration with Sophos X-Ops means suspicious emails trigger endpoint investigations automatically without manual handoffs. Skip this if your organization needs email security completely decoupled from your endpoint vendor, or if you're heavily invested in a non-Sophos EDR and want to avoid vendor consolidation.
