Security is Mission #1 for the Box Intelligent Content Cloud.

When Box’s security advantages (inclusive of Box Shield) are extended to an attack channel end-point such as email, customers gain significant defensive advantages on the security front. From an email attack vector perspective, Box AI Partner mxHERO provides the mxHERO Mail2Cloud Intelligent Email Management platform allowing for security improvements via a native integration with the Box Intelligent Content Cloud.

 The Problem:

• Email remains as the #1 Vector of Attack by bad actors.

• Average cost of a data breach:  $4.8m USD (IBM -2024)

• Ransomware attacks – double digit YoY growth (CyberInt)

• 73% of reported cyber-security incidents involved Business Email Compromise (DarkTrace – 2024)

• $4.8 billion in losses specific to Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks in 2024 (FBI)

 Addressing the Challenge:

While there are no firm security guarantees that provide a 100% confidence level against bad-actor exploits, security gains can be achieved via the mxHERO and Box integration allowing customers to defend against these exploits and protect their enterprises and agencies from known or emergent email security risks, data leakage and ransom risks.

 Security advantages of the mxHERO with Box integration include:

• Improved Digital Hygiene via email content silo eliminations - a breach resilience outcome as content is more valuable and more secure, when it’s in Box

• Improved data loss prevention (DLP) outcomes via mxHERO’s ability to automate the capture of outbound flowing email, metadata and attachments. This allows for post-send controls via mxHERO and auto-invocation of core Box capabilities including auto-quarantine on condition, Box Shield invocation, View Only setting automation, password invocation on condition, intelligent Supervisor Approval workflows requiring approval prior to thematic email transmissions and auto-expiring link invocations - all automated via API with the mxHERO and Box integration

• Improved risk reduction against weaponized attachments as mxHERO automates the capture of inbound flowing emails for automated Box Shield invocation and allowing end-users to SAFELY PREVIEW file attachments (vs blinded email attachment file openings)

• Extends Box Shield advantages to the email vector end-point

• No end-user actions are required - security and Box Shield advantages are extended at the platform level - ensuring 100% compliance and security outcomes

• Provides for 256 bit end-to-end encryption for emails processed by mxHERO’s SOC 2 Type II certified platform into Box and extends Box FedRAMP HIGH and compliance authorizations to be inclusive of email content placed into Box.
