Data is king.

But it’s a nightmare for CISOs to track how data is accessed and shared and to comply with the ever-growing and ever-changing compliance regulations.

Launched in Q4 2024, 365 Total Protection Plan 4 (a.k.a. 365 Total Protection Compliance and Awareness) is a holistic solution for Microsoft 365 that provides state-of-the-art email security, email continuity, email archiving, encryption, backup and recovery, next-gen, automated security awareness training, and permissions management – all conveniently managed via a multitenant, cloud-based Control Panel.

Many of Hornetsecurity’s clients (organizations, agencies, and companies) and Channel partners, MSPs, and VARs alike struggled to work with several vendors to tackle different areas of cybersecurity, grappling with different interfaces, support services, invoicing processes, cost structures, etc.

Hornetsecurity worked to provide a holistic solution that is simple to set up and manage while delivering next-gen, robust performance—which helps their partners with customer retention, too.

With the launch of 365 Total Protection Plan 4, Hornetsecurity offers state-of-the-art email security to protect Microsoft 365 users against spam, viruses, phishing, ransomware, and the most sophisticated email attacks.

Available as a service, 365 Total Protection Plan 4 also provides automated email continuity, legally compliant email archiving, and backup and recovery. It also includes next-gen, automated security awareness training and an admin-centered solution to manage permissions, enforce compliance policies, and monitor violations within M365.

(365 Permission Manager offers a convenient and user-friendly interface for CISOs and M365 admins to govern assets and adhere to compliance standards using auditing properly, minimizing the risk of sensitive data leaking outside an organization unintentionally, as well as reducing liability for sharing of PII (Personal Identifiable Information) about data subjects.

365 Total Protection Plan 4, which seamlessly integrates with M365, also includes Email Encryption, Archiving, Signatures, and Disclaimers.

Easy to set up and use, 365 Total Protection keeps ahead of the curve to combat ever-evolving threats through AI and ongoing research by Hornetsecurity’s in-house Security Labs.

The Control Panel enables central, multitenant management of users, access rights, etc., for a user-friendly interface. No technical training is required to work with the intuitive console. Onboarding and product monitoring are quick and easy, freeing up our users to dedicate their team members to more pressing, high-intensity tasks.

Hornetsecurity added elements to its solution to make it comprehensive through acquisition – e.g., backup and the recent Security Awareness Service, and via in-house R&D. 365 Permission Manager and AI Recipient Validation, both launched in 2023.

Security Awareness Service is a next-gen, fully automated service that continuously trains employees using realistic spear phishing simulations and AI-powered e-training.

Launched in 2023, 365 Permission Manager brings ease and order to tracking employee access to M365 sites, files, and folders, ensuring that critical permission situations do not occur.

(Microsoft 365 has brought tremendous value to businesses with tools like SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams. However, it can be challenging for an M365 administrator to manage share settings and data governance and track who has what access to what files. Courtesy of Hornetsecurity and YouTube.)

AI Recipient Validation is an AI-based, self-learning service that continuously analyzes a user’s email communication patterns in the background.

Hornetsecurity’s fully managed cloud services are supported by premium 24/7/365 customer support as part of the package that calms their clients’ minds.

The continually evolving ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Government Excellence Awards Program will highlight the trail of Accomplished Women in Leadership in 2024.

So be on the lookout for exciting upcoming announcements of Speakers, Presenters, Book Signing Opportunities, and Attendees at the 2024 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Presentation Luncheon in November of 2024 in New York City!

In 2023, this exclusive sold-out event featured at ISC East, well over two hundred representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines – and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.

Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.

The prestigious Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program highlights the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today to ensure our readers have the information they need to stay ahead of the competition and keep our Nation safe – one facility, street, and city at a time.

The ‘ASTORS’ was specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit, and intelligence to end-users in a variety of government, homeland security, enterprise, and public safety vertical markets.
