Egress becomes the first cloud email security platform to apply an adaptive security model, offering customers automated and tailored protection
Egress offers the only proactive approach to advanced inbound and outbound email threats, automatically adjusting enforcement by continually assessing risk to provide dynamic protection and response.
BOSTON, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Leading cybersecurity company Egress announces the launch of adaptive security for its Intelligent Email Security platform. In the most significant innovation since the creation of Integrated Cloud Email Security, Egress will provide dynamic and automated protection against advanced inbound and outbound threats, transforming the way in which organizations manage human risk on email.
Egress CEO Tony Pepper comments: “Almost every organization freely admits that people represent the biggest risk to their security and are most vulnerable when using email. By implementing an adaptive security architecture, we can continually assess human risk on a per user basis and automatically dial enforcement up or down depending on the level of the potential threat.”
Unlike any other product on the market, Egress generates aggregated individual risk scores by augmenting product telemetry, open-source intelligence, and behavioral data with threat data taken from any third-party security application via a two-way open API. When a score reaches a higher risk threshold, products in the Intelligent Email Security platform will automatically adapt their controls to defend against advanced phishing threats, human error, and data exfiltration.
In doing so, Egress has become the first solution globally to offer adaptive security for cloud email.
The benefits of this approach include:
- Unparalleled inbound and outbound email security: As adaptive security takes a proactive approach to managing human risk, Egress’ innovation will empower organizations to automatically adjust their email security controls in the areas that need it most. Consequently, Egress’ customers are best prepared to defend against new or emerging threats.
- Increased speed to response: The dialing up or down of enforcement will occur instantaneously as an individual’s risk score rises or falls below their organization’s threshold.
- Automation that eliminates administrative management: Correlating and analyzing data in real-time provides aggregated risk scores specific to each individual. Using this intelligence, tailored security controls are automatically applied, resulting in no administrative overhead.
- Data-driven intelligence provides enhanced, accurate visibility into threat trends: Using multiple data sources unlocks a new, more accurate way to assess and manage human risk. Risk trends, threat intelligence, and actionable insights will be surfaced via the Egress Security Center, including recommendations for managing human risk within an organization’s wider security ecosystem.
- Improve security awareness through real-time nudges: Once a threat has been neutralized by the platform, Egress also uses a combination of dynamic color-coded banners and configurable prompts to help educate and train employees. As part of the adaptive security implementation, these real-time nudges are automatically tailored to each individual based on level of risk at that moment in time.
Pepper continues: “An organization’s risk profile is never static, so their email security shouldn’t be either. To date, Egress has used the latest advances in AI and machine learning to detect and prevent advanced inbound and outbound threats in Microsoft 365. Today’s announcement is a natural evolution of this capability, bringing a predictive layer to email security so organizations can proactively manage human risk and prepare themselves for new and emerging threats before they have even materialized.”
Adaptive security as part of the Intelligent Email Security platform is now available for organizations worldwide. Existing Egress customers will benefit from this update free of charge.

The new, fully self-owned facility enhances Compass’s capacity and offers customers greater choice for machine deployment
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining (“Compass” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Bitcoin mining hardware, hosting, and services, today announced its acquisition of property and power agreements to establish a state-of-the-art mining facility in Iowa. Construction is already underway on the expandable facility, with an initial 8 megawatts (MW) scheduled for energization in January 2025 and plans for expansion up to 30 MW as Compass pursues additional infrastructure investments.
Located on a 5-acre greenfield site, the new Iowa facility marks a significant step in the Company’s growth strategy, increasing its self-owned infrastructure portfolio. With an Electric Service Agreement (ESA) in place, Compass is on track to energize 8 MW of capacity by January 2025. Once operational, Compass customers will have the option to select “Iowa 4″ as the deployment location for new machines purchased through Compass’s platform.
Compass Mining has traditionally partnered with third-party facilities but is actively working to reduce counterparty risk through ownership of its own sites, such as the new Iowa facility, which is both self-owned and self-operated. This ownership model allows Compass to strengthen control over its operations and offer enhanced flexibility to customers.
“This new site marks an important milestone,” said Shanon Squires, Chief Mining Officer of Compass Mining. “By increasing our self-owned capacity, we can provide our customers greater operational control. At the same time, our partnerships with reliable third-party facilities provide our customers greater deployment flexibility, reflecting both power market dynamics and geographic diversity.”
The Iowa facility builds on Compass’s broader U.S. expansion, following the successful energization of facilities across Kentucky (10 MW) and Nebraska (7.5 MW) earlier this year. In 2024 alone, Compass has energized nearly 50 MW of new power capacity across Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Texas, with an additional 20 MW planned by January 2025.
