VIPRE Security Group (“VIPRE”), has announced a new integration with Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
The collaboration brings VIPRE Integrated Email Security (IES), which is its advanced, cloud-based detection engine for identifying malicious and suspicious email activity, directly into Microsoft’s ecosystem, providing organisations with stronger, unified protection.
The integration brings VIPRE IES AI-powered detection for phishing and business email compromise (BEC), along with proven email security expertise, directly into Microsoft Defender. It ends the sprawl of scattered consoles, inconsistent alerts, and fragmented quarantines, offering organisations a single, unified view of their email security posture.
As phishing kits become more accessible, scam emails become more convincing, and advanced social engineering attacks slip past traditional filters, organisations need layered defenses to protect themselves. But that often brings complexity.
Customers get:
- Defense in depth in a unified view inside Microsoft Defender
- A single quarantine for both Microsoft and VIPRE detections
- Consolidated dashboards and consistent reporting
- Faster, clearer operations
- Layered defenses without added overhead
VIPRE’s detection engines zero in on emotional cues, behavioural manipulation, and subtle language tactics used in modern phishing and business email scams. Combined with Microsoft’s native protections, organisations get a sharper, more adaptive defense against the payload-less and human-targeted attacks dominating today’s threat landscape.
Usman Choudhary, General Manager, VIPRE Security Group, comments:
“VIPRE’s specialised detection technology brings a unique layer of insight to the Microsoft ecosystem, helping customers stop the kinds of sophisticated phishing and BEC attacks that often evade traditional filters. We’re proud to be a trusted vendor within Microsoft’s ICES ecosystem and to contribute our deep email security expertise to strengthen protection for millions of Microsoft 365 users worldwide.”
Now available to Microsoft Defender for Office 365 P2 customers
The VIPRE IES integration is now available to Microsoft Defender for Office 365 P2 customers, with no additional infrastructure, agents, or complex deployment steps required. Once enabled through the Microsoft Defender for Office 365 ICES Vendor Ecosystem, VIPRE IES becomes natively accessible within the Microsoft Defender portal, surfacing its detections into the same unified SOC experience.
Microsoft’s vendor ecosystem for Defender for Microsoft 365 introduces a modern extensibility layer that allows security vendors like VIPRE to contribute intelligence, detections, and response actions inside Microsoft’s native SOC tools. The integration is available to organizations licensed for Microsoft Defender for Office 365 P2 and subscribing to VIPRE IES.
