Box just raised the bar with Box Shield Pro at BoxWorks 2025
Ransomware remains one of the most persistent threats facing agencies and enterprises. Box Shield Pro delivers the next evolution of intelligent threat detection, deep content inspection, and advanced controls across the Box Intelligent Content Management platform.
But here’s the real unlock 
email.
Every breach playbook shows us: email is still the number one attack vector. That’s where mxHERO Mail2Cloud comes in.
By automatically capturing inbound, outbound, and even legacy email into Box, mxHERO extends Box Shield Pro’s protections beyond files in Box to the millions of emails flowing through your organization. That means:
Ransomware protection at the point of risk, suspicious payloads in attachments get neutralized with SAFE preview invocations before they ever land in user inboxes. Unified compliance and governance as emails can inherit the same Box Shield Pro policies, classification, and threat signal detections as every other piece of content in Box.
Agentic AI-readiness, secure, policy-driven access to both files and email data (including email body, metadata and attachments) fuels Box AI workflows on Box Enterprise Advanced without introducing risk.
Together, Box Shield Pro + mxHERO’s Intelligent Email Management (IEM) platform Mail2Cloud transform your entire email + content surface area into a secure, intelligent, and AI-ready environment. This powers up Box AI potential, advances the value of Box Enterprise Advanced, improves security, and readies organizations to unlock their “System of Intelligence” that is Box.
The takeaway: If you’re serious about ransomware defense, don’t stop at file storage. Extend Shield Pro to the email paradigm with mxHERO.
Security and compliance have always been central to Box’s mission. With Box Shield Pro and mxHERO working together, organizations can extend that protection to one of the most vulnerable surfaces, i.e. EMAIL. It’s a powerful leap forward in intelligent, enterprise-grade security.
