Trustwave Rolls Out Phishing Protection Add-On for Microsoft Environments

Trustwave has introduced a new managed service aimed at Microsoft Office 365 and Defender for Office users, focused specifically on bolstering phishing defenses, reports Security Brief. The offering, Managed Phishing for Microsoft, adds layers of detection, response, and employee education on top of Microsoft’s native tools, targeting a persistent security gap that continues to challenge IT teams across sectors.

The service is built to run alongside Microsoft’s inbuilt protections. It handles everything from policy configuration and rule management to real-time threat analysis and 24/7 response. AI-powered detection engines are paired with simulated phishing campaigns to train end users continuously. The idea is to minimize both the likelihood of a successful attack and the time and effort internal teams spend chasing down malicious emails.

Trustwave’s SpiderLabs research team backs the service with ongoing threat intelligence and behavioural insights. Clients get regular reports highlighting risky user behaviour, emerging attack patterns, and where phishing campaigns are slipping past Microsoft’s default filters. That visibility helps companies quickly adapt and improve their overall email security posture.

As phishing attacks grow more automated and targeted, many organizations are looking beyond built-in tools for added protection. Trustwave’s approach combines technology with hands-on threat response and employee awareness, filling in the blind spots that often get overlooked in default configurations.
