New integrations bolster Expel’s comprehensive protection against phishing, BEC, and inbox-based attacks
Expel, a leader in managed detection and response (MDR), has unveiled a significant enhancement to its MDR offering, extending protection to one of the most prevalent and dangerous threat vectors: email. By integrating with industry-leading solutions—Proofpoint, Abnormal Security, and Sublime Security—Expel empowers organizations to detect and disrupt email threats earlier in the attack lifecycle, helping reduce overall risk and strengthen cybersecurity resilience.
“Identity-based incidents, largely originating from emails, made up 68% of all incidents among Expel customers last year,” said Yonni Shelmerdine, Chief Product Officer, Expel. “Incorporating email threat data enables us to identify and block attacks as soon as they hit the inbox, and gives customers insight into the threat actors working to gain access to their organization. We’re delivering the most comprehensive MDR solution in the market, and these capabilities further solidify that commitment while providing our customers with unparalleled visibility and protection across critical attack vectors.”
As email threats grow more sophisticated—fueled in part by the proliferation of technologies like generative AI—security teams are struggling to manage increasing alert volumes. Expel addresses this challenge with proprietary, purpose-built detections designed specifically for leading email security platforms. These detections reduce false positives, allowing teams to focus on real threats without being bogged down by alert fatigue.
By enabling earlier threat detection and rapid response, Expel helps organizations proactively address risks before they escalate. The company’s solution seamlessly integrates with leading email security tools, layering in rich contextual data from endpoint, user, and network activity. This multi-dimensional view enables deeper threat correlation and faster, more effective mitigation.
