Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for an email security gateway that can effectively analyze and detonate links to attachments hosted on the cloud, like those from Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. I'm looking for features such as:
- Automatic extraction of links from email content
- The ability to download and test these files in a sandbox environment
- Support for popular platforms like GDrive and OneDrive
- Reporting functions for identifying malicious files linked in emails
- Compatibility with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
If you have experienced any solutions that meet these requirements, I'd love to hear your recommendations! Which vendors or products do you think are leading the way in this area? Thanks in advance!

Mimecast is definitely worth considering. They have robust capabilities for detecting threats in cloud links.
Have you looked into Proxmox Mail Gateway? It's an option that could fit into your requirements for email security.
Consider Perception Point, which is now part of Fortimail. They offer some interesting features, but make sure you check how well they integrate with Fortimail, as it can be a bit tricky to navigate their interface.
Definitely explore Proofpoint, Mimecast, and Check Point Harmony Email & Collaboration. They have a variety of features and might meet your needs depending on the specifics of your setup.
You might want to check out Proofpoint and Mimecast as they were pioneers in this area. Recently, Check Point has made strides after acquiring a newer player. Also, Microsoft Defender can help, but the P1 version might be a bit limited compared to P2 for automation purposes. It's worth exploring a content disarm/reconstruct approach like Forcepoint too, which helps remove any executable content from documents. For a modern setup, look for solutions that integrate via API with your email provider instead of traditional gateways.

Yeah, I've heard that Fortimail's interface can be a bit of a pain. Just be prepared for that when integrating!
