The reality is that phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and scams are no longer sporadic nuisances – they’re widespread, AI-driven threats targeting Office 365 environments at scale. Traditional email gateways and native Microsoft protections simply do not stack up against today’s evolving threats, especially when these threats are designed to bypass rule-based identification (and they always seem to). Effective email security for Office 365, built natively with multi-modal LLMs, is essential to combat the growing sophistications of attacks.

That’s why we’re publicly announcing that Mesa Security is now live on the Azure Marketplace, providing Office 365 users with a fast, intuitive, AI-native way to protect their email – without the complexity or expense around legacy solutions. Our solution enhances email security for Office 365 users significantly.

Threats Mesa Security Detects That Others Miss

Mesa Security’s AI-native engine is designed to identify advanced threats, especially those that have a high level of sophistication. Advanced email threat categories detected are :

  • Business Email Compromise (BEC) such as Executive impersonation and invoice fraud
  • Credential Phishing such as fake log-in pages and MFA bypasses
  • Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) such as hijacked supplier accounts with familiar verbiage
  • Insider Threats such as malicious or negligent user actions

  • Ransomware and Malware such as malicious links, docs and/or executables
  • Spam, Extortion and Scams that are AI-generated, or volume-based threats

Remediation in Less than 5 Seconds

In email attacks, fast is critical. Mesa Security:

  • Detects threats in seconds.
  • Classifies and categorizes in less than 5 milliseconds.
  • Remediates automatically—before the user even notices.

So before a user has an interaction with their email, the threat is taken care of. This lowers help desk tickets, reduces incident response workloads, and lessens the risk of compromise.

When comparing email security for office 365, we have to mention the default solution that many small and medium businesses use: Microsoft Defender. However, there is a big difference between a solution like Mesa Security that was built from the ground up with multi-modal LLMs and a legacy solution like Microsoft Defender. Let’s compare Microsoft Defender for Office 365, which often flags suspicious messages and involves a manual review or user report, particularly for low-signal threats such as VEC or social engineering emails with no links or attachments.

Mesa Security vs Microsoft Defender

Mesa Security is not meant to replace a secure web gateway or any type of on-premises email security solution but to add an API-based email security detection and remediation to Office 365 cloud services. When comparing Mesa Security to Microsoft Defender for Office 365, we believe we excel in may different categories including detection, remediation, and ease of use:
