Overview
Avanan is an anti-phishing, anti-malware software solution protecting email and a range of cloud applications from phishing, malware, ransomware and viruses with its market-leading technology.
Avanan searches, manages, and protects Microsoft 365 email, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Email and Drive, Dropbox, Slack and Citrix ShareFile.
Avanan’s phishing and malware protection technology uses advanced artificial intelligence and a unique machine learning algorithm.
Avanan’s unique architecture is built specifically for the cloud, connecting to your environment and scanning for threats after any existing security, but before the inbox, to work seamlessly with the current security set up.
Because it deploys inside the cloud, it offers the best defence against insider threats, business email compromise and breached accounts by also filtering all internal emails for threats.
Key Features
Total Protection for Microsoft Teams
With the power of Avanan, Manage Protect is the first and only security vendor to provide anti-phishing, anti-malware and data loss prevention for Microsoft Teams.

Targeted solution for targeted phishing attacks
Avanan uses machine-learning models trained on attacks that bypass Microsoft 365, analysing over 300 indicators per message. Software as a Service (SaaS) integration provides role-based models and tight mailbox control to catch what external email gateways can’t. With the most advanced sandboxing and active content analysis in the industry, it offers the ability to quarantine threats before users download them.
