Microsoft says you don’t need another email security tool; experts say, not so fast
Summary
Microsoft claims that Defender for Office 365 catches most malicious emails before delivery and that adding extra email security tools provides minimal additional benefit (less than 0.05% improvement). However, security experts warn that these statistics can be misleading because even a single missed dangerous email can cause a serious incident, and Microsoft's metrics don't reveal how severe the threats that slip through actually are.
