Hornetsecurity partners with Amazon to enhance SES Mail security

Hornetsecurity has entered into a partnership with Amazon to offer its Vade Advanced Email Security Add-On to customers using Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) Mail Manager.

The partnership provides users of Amazon SES Mail Manager with access to additional automated, real-time email protection against threats such as spam, malware, and phishing attacks. The Vade Advanced Email Security Add-On employs behaviour analysis, patented artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and real-time scanning to help safeguard email communications.

Amazon SES is a cloud-based email platform aimed at automating high-volume email communications. SES Mail Manager, which sits on top of this service, offers businesses features to control and oversee their email operations, including management of campaigns, advanced analytics, template systems for standardised communications, automated handling of undeliverable emails, and the capability to scale to high email volumes.

With the new integration, customers can scan and protect both inbound and outbound messages, while maintaining control over their email workflows through the SES Mail Manager interface. The add-on is positioned for online businesses and departments using Amazon SES for transactions, marketing, and other communications efforts such as sending newsletters or campaign materials.

Hornetsecurity's add-on brings together technology elements including AI-powered threat detection, behaviour-based analysis of incoming and outgoing messages, and natural language processing to perform analysis of messages in real time. These features are designed to help organisations maintain safe communications and reduce exposure to common email-borne threats.

Amazon SES Mail Manager customers can choose to manage and customise their security policies, opting for additional controls and integrations to suit the operational needs of their business. The Vade Advanced Email Security Add-On is included as one of these selectable options.

The partnership between Hornetsecurity and Amazon signals a step towards bolstering email defence for SES Mail Manager users, providing the opportunity to integrate security features directly within the existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment while preserving oversight over email workflow management.

"We are thrilled that Amazon has chosen to partner with Hornetsecurity Group to provide their SES Mail Manager customers with a seamless and powerful email security solution within the AWS environment," said Hornetsecurity Chief Executive Officer Daniel Hofmann. "This will be a game-changer for the security of businesses that use Amazon SES for email transactions and marketing."

The new security add-on makes use of patented AI to analyse and filter threats as part of a solution that can be configured to support varying business requirements, including for companies needing to support large-scale email sending or those wanting to refine security postures for corporate email.
