Expel launches proactive defense for email threats

Expel announces an expansion of its MDR service to include direct integrations with Proofpoint, Abnormal AI, and Sublime Security to detect and remediate email-based threats (phishing, BEC, and identity-based incidents) earlier in the attack lifecycle; the offering combines API-sourced email telemetry with endpoint and user activity correlation, expert detections, and automated removal of malicious messages, and cites SOC data showing 68% of incidents in 2024 were identity-related.
