Google Workspace powers more than 3 billion active users globally. From agile mid-market firms to global enterprise operations, Gmail and Google Workspace serve as the digital backbone for millions of teams.

When it comes to outbound email security, every organization operates under different operational constraints and security requirements. Some security teams prioritize in-app nudges and coaching to catch risky behavior the moment an email is drafted. Others want to avoid friction, particularly for executives, sales teams or mobile-first employees who rarely interact with desktop add-ins.

Security operations teams face a constant balancing act: stopping sophisticated email threats, maintaining visibility across their attack surface and keeping administrative workflows running smoothly. When security tools operate in silos or rely on rigid, manual processes, friction builds up quickly. This friction consumes valuable time that analysts could spend on higher-priority initiatives.

For years, security teams have poured resources into locking down the inbox, and for good reason. Email has always been the front door for phishing and social engineering. Unfortunately, another door has been left wide open: Microsoft Teams.

When we think about email security, our minds almost always jump to the inbound threats: the sophisticated phishing lures, the AI-generated business email compromise (BEC) attacks, and the malicious attachments knocking at the perimeter.
