Macrosine® VS the traditional alternatives
There are three prevalent strategies, yet each one presents its own set of drawbacks.
Opting to block all macros may seem like a comprehensive risk mitigation tactic, but it's not entirely effective. While allowing all macros can inadvertently permit the operation of malicious software. The remaining alternative involves the manual evaluation of each macro, which demands a considerable amount of investment of time and resources, making it a less than ideal solution.
Macrosine VS blocking all Office macros
The simple solution to the risk posed by macros would appear to be to block them (as Microsoft recommends). But in reality, this is neither simple nor effective. For businesses than run on macros, attempting to turn them off is akin to getting rid of email. At best you severely impact productivity, but likely users will be forced to circumvent controls by doing things like sending macro-enabled files to their personal PC where they can run them without intervention – and in doing so cause potential data spills.
Without Macrosine
Severely impacts productivity

Creates frustration
With Macrosine (no need to block all)
Robust risk assessment capabilities
Configurable user permissions
Empower users, no specialist skills required
Macrosine VS allowing all Office macros
At the other end of the spectrum, allowing all macros to execute spells just as much disaster.
If you are lucky, and your security tools, processes and people are very good, you will just waste time cleaning up alerts and removing quarantined macros. But everyone’s luck runs out at some point, and you are left responding to a ransomware outbreak or a public data spill – two things which are even less fun than they sound.
Without Macrosine
Hard to maintain + teaches users bad habits
Not cost effective
Highly likely something will be missed
With Macrosine (no need to allow all)
Ongoing product support and updates
Saving your team and organisation time
No specialist skills required
Macrosine VS manually assessing Office macros
Manually assessing office macros can be resource-intensive and time-consuming, with a high likelihood of missing something. It can slow down users, reducing the benefit of macros, and advanced payloads might sneak through. Macrosine offers a more efficient and secure alternative to manual assessment, providing a sustainable solution for organisations to manage macro security without disrupting business processes.
