Overview

Product Information on Targeted Attack Protection

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Targeted Attack Protection?

Targeted Attack Protection is a software developed to identify, block, and mitigate advanced threats such as phishing, ransomware, and email-based attacks before they reach users. The software analyzes incoming messages and attachments using multiple detection techniques including machine learning, sandboxing, and threat intelligence. It provides organizations with visibility into targeted threats, offering real-time reporting and forensics to investigate and respond to incidents. Targeted Attack Protection aims to address the business problem of safeguarding sensitive information and users from sophisticated email threats by preventing unauthorized access, data loss, and service disruption.

Targeted Attack Protection Pricing

Targeted Attack Protection software uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured by the number of users or mailboxes covered. Different tiers offer varying levels of threat detection and response features, with pricing dependent on selected capabilities and organizational scale. Custom enterprise pricing may be available for large-scale or specialized deployments.
