Since the original publication of this article, Avanan has rolled out several significant updates to strengthen its protection for email and cloud applications. These improvements are designed to keep Australian businesses one step ahead of emerging cyber threats, ensuring robust defences against phishing, malware, and other malicious activity.

Key Updates to Avanan’s Security Platform

1. Enhanced AI and Machine Learning Capabilities
   Avanan now leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to detect and prevent phishing attacks in real time. This new layer of protection allows Avanan to identify sophisticated, zero-day threats that often bypass traditional security filters. The platform’s AI is continually updated to stay ahead of evolving attack techniques, offering more effective defence for organisations using platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack.
2. Expanded Integration with Collaboration Tools
   In response to the growing use of collaboration tools in hybrid work environments, Avanan has extended its support to Microsoft Teams, Slack, and other collaboration platforms. This new capability ensures that all chat messages and file transfers are automatically scanned for security threats, providing end-to-end protection regardless of where your team is working.
3. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
   Avanan has enhanced its Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capabilities, enabling better monitoring of cloud configurations. Australian businesses can now enforce stronger cloud security policies, manage risk in real-time, and generate detailed compliance reports to meet industry-specific regulations, including Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
4. Real-Time Threat Intelligence and Analytics
   The platform’s threat intelligence has been improved, offering security teams real-time insights into attack patterns across the globe. Avanan’s Cloud Email Security now delivers more accurate threat detection with predictive analytics, helping businesses prevent breaches before they happen. The integration of actionable insights allows companies to respond to incidents swiftly and effectively, minimising potential damage.
5. Seamless Integration with Security Stacks
   Avanan’s platform integrates easily with existing security tools, allowing businesses to maintain their preferred security stacks while enhancing their cloud app and email security. Whether you’re using endpoint protection, firewall solutions, or SIEM systems, Avanan works alongside your current technologies to deliver comprehensive protection without disruption.
