EveryCloud Technologies

What EveryCloud Technologies does

The company operates in the email security and Microsoft 365 security market, offering spam filtering, email archiving, backup, compliance, and security awareness services. Its core platform is anchored by the 365 Total Protection suite, which delivers Microsoft 365 security, backup, and governance, risk & compliance (GRC) capabilities through four tiered annual subscription plans (Plan 1-4). The architecture is platform-plus-modules: supporting standalone products include Advanced Threat Protection, Email Encryption, Email Archiving, Email Continuity Service, DMARC Manager, 365 Permission Manager, and 365 Total Backup, complemented by AI-powered add-ons (AI Cyber Assistant, AI Recipient Validation, AI Email Security Analyst, Teams Protection) and MSP-focused tools such as 365 Multi-Tenant Manager. Underlying technology emphasizes AI-based threat detection, anomaly detection, NLP, and process automation, with an annual cybersecurity research effort analyzing 72 billion emails.

The business operates a dual go-to-market combining an extensive channel partner network of over 12,000 MSPs, resellers, and distributors with direct enterprise sales and 24/7 support. Revenue is generated via tiered annual subscriptions priced quote-based for enterprise plans and through free trials for entry tiers, with billing on annual cadence. The customer base spans SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments across 125+ countries, with named customers including Konica Minolta (enterprise) and a long tail of technology-services partners and MSPs. Customer concentration is distributed across the partner-mediated volume.

The company scaled over 15 years to a 750+ specialist team, 125,000+ customers, and a portfolio of 600+ industry awards. In 2025, it was acquired by Proofpoint, joining a larger cybersecurity portfolio and continuing to market its product line under its existing brand. Geographic execution is supported by localized websites for the United States, Italy, and Canada (French). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the tiered plan structure and channel-driven volume support a substantial recurring revenue base.

Direct peers

• Mimecast: Mimecast is a direct competitor offering email security, archiving, continuity and compliance for Microsoft 365 and other platforms. Overlapping product set, similar target customer (mid-market and enterprise), and subscription SaaS delivery model make it the closest comparable.
• Barracuda Networks: Barracuda provides email security, archiving, backup and data protection for Microsoft 365 via MSP and reseller channels. Highly comparable in target segment, channel-led GTM and product breadth.
• Veeam: Veeam offers Microsoft 365 backup, VM backup and physical server backup — directly comparable to Hornetsecurity's 365 Total Backup and VM Backup modules, with similar MSP-friendly licensing.
• AvePoint: AvePoint provides Microsoft 365 backup, governance, permission management and multi-tenant management for MSPs — direct overlap with the 365 Permission Manager and 365 Multi-Tenant Manager products.
• KnowBe4: KnowBe4 is a direct competitor in security awareness training, the same category as the Security Awareness Service product. Both target the same M365 customer segment via channel and direct sales.

Broad incumbents

• Proofpoint: Proofpoint is the parent company post-2025 acquisition and a broader cybersecurity incumbent. Overlaps heavily on email security, compliance and security awareness for M365, but operates a much wider portfolio (people-centric security, threat intel) at enterprise scale.
• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Microsoft's native M365 email security and threat protection offering bundled into E3/E5 licenses. The principal competitive threat — same customer base, similar feature surface, and effectively zero incremental license cost.
• Sophos: Sophos offers email security, anti-phishing and security awareness within a broader endpoint/network security portfolio. Targets the same MSP channel and overlapping mid-market customers.
• Trend Micro: Trend Micro provides email and Microsoft 365 security alongside a broader cybersecurity portfolio. Comparable in targeting enterprise M365 customers but operates across many other security categories.

Emerging players

• Acronis: Acronis offers M365 backup alongside cyber protection for endpoints and servers, with strong MSP distribution. Comparable on backup functionality and channel motion, with partial feature overlap on email security.
