ScanMail vs. Adaptive Security

More than 90% of targeted cyber attacks begin with spear phishing emails, underscoring the urgent requirement for enhanced mail server security. Unfortunately, many current security measures, such as the basic protections found in Microsoft® Exchange™ 2013 and 2016, rely on outdated pattern file updates that mainly detect traditional malware. These approaches often fall short in their ability to identify malicious URLs or document exploits, which are common in sophisticated attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs). On the other hand, ScanMail™ Suite for Microsoft® Exchange™ takes a proactive stance against highly targeted email threats and spear phishing by utilizing advanced document exploit detection, a superior web reputation system, and sandboxing, all integral to a customized APT defense strategy that competitors do not offer. Additionally, ScanMail stands out by providing the capability to block conventional malware through its advanced email, file, and web reputation technologies, coupled with global threat intelligence gathered from the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ cloud-based security, thereby delivering extensive protection for your mail server. In this landscape of ever-evolving cyber threats, selecting the appropriate security solution becomes imperative for the safety of your organization, ensuring that it can withstand both current and future challenges effectively.

Adaptive Security was founded in 2024 by seasoned entrepreneurs Brian Long and Andrew Jones. Since inception, the company has raised over $50 million from top-tier investors including OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and executives from Google Cloud, Fidelity, Plaid, Shopify, and other industry leaders. Adaptive defends organizations against sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats such as deepfakes, vishing, smishing, and spear phishing. Its next-generation security awareness training and AI phishing simulation platform enables security teams to deliver ultra-personalized training that adapts to each employee’s role, access level, and exposure. This training leverages real-time open-source intelligence (OSINT) and features highly convincing deepfake content—including synthetic media of a company’s own executives—to mirror real-world attack vectors. Through AI-powered simulations, customers can continuously assess and improve organizational resilience. Hyper-realistic phishing tests across voice, SMS, email, and video channels evaluate risk across every major vector. These simulations are fueled by Adaptive’s AI OSINT engine, giving teams deep visibility into how attackers might exploit their digital footprint. Today, Adaptive serves global leaders like Figma, The Dallas Mavericks, BMC Software, and Stone Point Capital. With an industry-leading Net Promoter Score of 94, Adaptive is redefining excellence in cybersecurity.
