GS-IT: Proactive Email Security

Email malware attack is one of the most serious yet common threats that your organization may face. Cybercriminals can trick users into downloading rogue files that contain malware, such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. Often such an attack remains undetected because signs of intrusion do not occur right away. Meanwhile, attackers can use such unauthorized access to disrupt critical systems, gain sensitive information, and perform other malicious actions.

Phishing emails are deceptive spam emails that are designed to trick users into responding to them and disclosing sensitive information. Often a cybercriminal impersonates reputable entities or a trusted sender to deliver spam messages and gain access to your sensitive information.

One of the most dangerous email-borne threats that you can face is a ransomware attack. Most successful ransomware attacks have chosen phishing emails to take over control of the organization. Phishing mail has social engineering tools that will bait the recipient to give up the login credentials or clickable links that can download the malware. Some emails even run the malware in the background once opened. On entering the system, it blocks access to files and devices containing crucial intellectual data of your business. The attackers can also take over your workstations and servers and extract large amounts of money to return access to you. Email security threats like Ransomware attacks result in both monetary and productivity loss for your organization.

Your email system can leave your organization vulnerable to attack. Spoofing is a social engineering attack wherein a person or program can disguise itself as another by changing its sender information. These email security threats can have headers and email addresses that create an illusion that they have originated from trusted sources. As a result, individual users can be tricked into sharing critical information.

Business email compromise (BEC) is a sophisticated phishing attack that targets high-ranking employees in an organization. The attackers invest time observing the users and gaining information through their online profiles. As a result, they can curate highly realistic emails with specific details, making it difficult for the user to detect any flaw. BEC attacks can often cause businesses to lose money or trade secrets.
