We too, will need to evaluate when the time comes with our PA NGFW.  I, as probably others would be interested in your 
POC's if and what/ when you can share any positive and challenging information, and comparisons. Thanks for the synergy 
tip!

Sue - we are doing a POC between Cisco's Email Security Appliance (aka: Ironport) and Proofpoint. 

In our assessment our team found that Office 365 does decent spam filtering [ definitely open to input on this point 
from others... ].

Yet, this decision should not be made in isolation. As we evaluate NGFW's (Cisco vs. Palo Alto), we believe that 
decision will influence our decision of the Email Security solution we choose and what combination of appliance vs. 
cloud we choose. The synergy and strategic partnership between these vendors does work in your favor. For example, is 
one vendor having monthly working sessions  with the other to ensure their solutions and operations have maximum 
synergy. If so, you choose that solution - for maximum support. 

Best,
BMV

Hello Security Constituents

We’re looking to implement an Advanced Email Security Solution to integrate with Office 365 at our University.

 

If you have some time, do you mind telling us about any solutions you have employed to battle with spam, phishing, 
malicious attachments and malicious URL’s in your Office 365 environment as well as any successes and challenges 
since implementation?

 

Thank you for taking your time to respond!

 

Have a breach free day!

 

Thank you,
