SafeGuard Cyber is a SaaS security platform providing cloud-native defense for critical cloud communication applications that organizations are increasingly reliant upon, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, and social media.  A blind-spot is growing for security operations as adoption of these tools increases, creating more risk and vulnerability to ransomware, business compromise, and confidential information leakage. Email security lacks the ability to both create visibility outside of email, and primarily defend against malicious files and links.
