Email Security
Email is currently the most common way cyber criminals launch and distribute threats. As the volume of attacks has increased, so has the level of sophistication.
1 out of every 412 emails
contains a malware attack
7,710 organizations
are hit by a Business Email Compromise attack every month
One out of every 412 emails contain a malware attack, 7,710 organizations are hit by a Business Email Compromise attack every month, and spear-phishing is the most widely used infection vector, according to the Symantec Internet Threat Security Report (ISTR). Organizations today need a comprehensive security approach to protect cloud and on-premises email from these new, sophisticated threats.
New Challenges
Advanced and zero-day threats are much more difficult to detect and stop than traditional malware
High-value targets, such as executives or finance teams, are increasingly at risk
Targeted spear phishing and business email compromise (BEC) scams are on the rise
"Built-in" capabilities of popular cloud-based email services are insufficient for today's attacks
Require a New Approach
Multilayered detection technologies
to block spam, malware, and advanced email threats
Multiple scanning engines
to stop unwanted email such as spam, newsletters, and marketing emails
Virtual machine-aware sandboxing and payload detonation
to prevent the most complex and persistent threats
Link Protection
to probe and evaluate links in real time, both before email delivery and at the time of click
