Recognise and report phishing
Phishing attacks have become more sophisticated. This has resulted in a 52% increase in impersonation and social engineering attacks. Why is phishing such a significant threat? Because it exploits human vulnerability.
Businesses are putting tremendous amounts of energy and emphasis into employee security and awareness training. On top of this, reducing the volume of phishing emails that are coming into your organisation is simply not going to happen. So, we must be proactive, not reactive and take the burden off our employees.
Email hygiene
The basics of email hygiene (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) validate the authenticity of email domains, ensuring that the originating source is legitimate. But simply enabling these protocols isn’t enough; they must be configured and monitored. For example, where similar domains are created and established these need to be blocked immediately.
AI and email security
As attackers increasingly use AI to craft sophisticated phishing campaigns, such as typo-squatting and deceptive domains, traditional email security tools are being evaded. This is where modern AI-driven behavioural email security comes in. It adds crucial layers of protection before emails reach users.
How does it help? AI and machine learning strengthen email security by analysing both incoming and outgoing emails, detecting anomalies and suspicious patterns to identify potential threats. These are sandboxed, investigated, and tested against behavioural analytics to verify legitimacy. All before reaching the end user.
