Email Protection

Existing solutions aren't working

The threat landscape changes daily, but phishing is a whole new breed of challenge, and the hooks are getting sharper. Too many attacks are getting by and preventing phishing is a challenge because IT departments can’t keep up.

Employees are still getting phished

When attacks slip through existing solutions, they are so sophisticated that even with training, the human eye can’t always detect signs of fraud and employees are taking the bait due to lack of phishing security awareness.

Types of threats

Whaling Attacks

Whaling is a type of attack whereby the criminal impersonates VIP and C-level executives. By assimilating into a believable, trusted figure, the attacker builds rapport, usually using tricks like social engineering to encourage employees to follow directions.

Ransomware

Ransomware is also malicious software that is installed on a computer. It blocks access to computers as well. Ransomware is different from malware in that a criminal announces they are holding your company’s data hostage until you pay them a fee to get it back.

Brand Forgery

Brand forgery emails look like a legitimate email from a brand you know and trust– but it’s not really from that brand. Brand forgery emails target humans’ built-in desires to see patterns and make associations.

Malware

Malware infections are a significant threat to organizations, with the cost of a malware attack averaging $2.4 million USD. Malware is malicious software installed on a computer, designed to do damage.

Domain Spoofing

Domain spoofing can be difficult to detect for even sophisticated and cautious users. Most users trust the authenticity of the email address that they see in the “From” field of emails they receive.

Spear Phishing

Spear phishing is an email impersonating a trusted person like your boss, your CEO, a vendor, a friend, or a colleague. Virtually anyone who uses email is at risk of being exploited by spear phishing.
