GravityZone Security for Email

Email remains the most common channel for opportunistic and targeted attacks, as well as a significant source of data loss. According to research from the Radicati Group, 94 percent of malware is received via email.

In most cases, email is the first to deliver:

1.     The initial URL, in the form of a link to an exploit kit or phishing website.

2.     The attachment, in the form of a dropper or payload.

3.     The starting point for a social engineering attack, such as in the case of BEC or credential phishing attacks.

Email threats have become sophisticated enough to evade detection by traditional email security technologies, particularly those that rely only on standard antivirus and reputation. Email threats are also converging with other threats, combining social engineering, identity deception, phishing sites, malware, and exploits to evade standard email security solutions and infiltrate organizations.

Business email compromise (BEC), also known as CEO fraud, is when an attacker pretends to be someone they aren’t on email, typically a company executive or senior manager, to convince an employee to divert funds into a bank account controlled by the attacker or to trick them into sharing sensitive data with the attacker. These types of payroll diversion scams accounted for $8 million in fraud losses in 2019.
