MessageGuard: Proactive Email Threat Management

MessageGuard is your comprehensive service for managing email-borne threats. We combine expert SOC analysis with streamlined processes to protect your organization from phishing, malware, and other malicious email content, directly integrating with your Microsoft Defender environment.

Key Service Components

• Defender Quarantine Management: Our Kocho SOC actively monitors and manages your Microsoft Defender quarantined emails. We meticulously review suspicious items, releasing legitimate communications and decisively blocking malicious content, while continuously tuning your Defender policies based on these findings.
• User-Reported Phishing Analysis: Empower your users to be part of the solution. A simple forwarding mechanism allows them to submit suspected phishing emails directly to our SOC. We analyze these submissions, identify threats, and provide feedback.
• Advanced Threat Detection: For organizations with appropriate licensing, we can detect if users have clicked on malicious links within reported phishing emails, enabling targeted and rapid response.
• Automated & Expert-Led Remediation: Upon confirming a true positive threat, especially if interaction is detected, we initiate pre-agreed remediation activities. This can include resetting user accounts, deleting the malicious email экземпляров from across your estate, and creating block indicators (URLs, domains, senders) to prevent future attacks.
