The Blackhat security conference has made one thing abundantly clear — the age of AI is forcing a complete rethink of how we defend against threats, manage compliance, and reduce risk across every layer of the enterprise.
This week, IBM released its 2025 Cost of a Data Breach report, placing the average cost of a breach at over $5.08 million USD. A staggering figure, and a sobering reminder that risk mitigation is no longer optional. It is essential.
At mxHERO, we’re on the ground at Blackhat, and we’re seeing consistent themes emerge:
-
Zero trust is now a requirement, not a philosophy
-
Unstructured content is a high-risk blind spot
-
Compliance automation is vital for keeping pace with new regulations
-
AI-readiness must be secured with strong data governance foundations
So how can organizations turn these risks into manageable realities?
By leveraging the combined strength of mxHERO’s Intelligent Email Management (IEM) platform and Box’s Intelligent Content Cloud, security and compliance outcomes can be radically improved.
Here's how:
From mxHERO Mail2Cloud:
-
SAFE File Previews: Inbound email attachments are opened securely without exposing end users to potential weaponized payloads
-
Outbound Email DLP & Compliance: Automate capture of outbound emails to prevent accidental or malicious data leakage
-
Legacy Email Capture: Eliminate at-risk content silos by intelligently migrating at-rest email into secure Box environments
From Box:
-
Box Shield: Monitor, classify and control content usage to prevent insider and outsider threats
-
