Email Protection: Safeguard Your Business from Email-Based Attacks

Protect Your Organization from Email Threats

Emails are the most common attack vector for cybercriminals, with over 75% of cyberattacks starting through email. Cybercriminals know that the easiest way to infiltrate your network is by exploiting human trust and familiarity. This is why email protection is critical for businesses of all sizes.

​

One of the most prevalent and damaging types of attacks is email impersonation, where an attacker poses as a senior employee to deceive others into performing actions that compromise security. These attacks often involve a hacker impersonating a trusted manager and emailing an employee, often a new starter, with instructions to transfer money, provide sensitive information, or perform other malicious tasks.

​

Unfortunately, this technique can be difficult to detect because the attacker only needs to manipulate the display name of the email sender, making the message appear to come from a trusted source, even though the actual email address may be different.

​

At OWL360IT, we offer comprehensive email protection services to guard against these kinds of attacks and other common email-based threats, such as phishing, malware, and spam. Our solution provides a multi-layered approach to ensure your organization is secure from both known and emerging email threats.

​

Why You Need Robust Email Protection

Email is the gateway for many cyber threats. Attackers use emails to deliver malicious attachments, phishing links, and attempt to gain unauthorized access to your business systems. Without proper protection, it’s easy for employees to fall victim to these types of attacks.

​

Impersonation and Phishing: Impersonation emails, also known as Business Email Compromise (BEC), can be disguised as legitimate emails from trusted internal or external contacts. These attacks rely on social engineering tactics to manipulate employees into taking harmful actions.

​

Malware and Ransomware: Attachments or links in phishing emails often contain malicious code that, once opened, can infect your system with malware or ransomware. This can lead to severe data loss, theft, or encryption, holding your business hostage.

 

Credential Theft: Cybercriminals often use phishing emails to steal login credentials and gain unauthorized access to sensitive business systems. These attacks can result in further security breaches or data leaks.

 

Spam and Data Mining: Spam emails may not only overwhelm your inbox but could also include hidden threats, like tracking tools, which could compromise employee data and confidential business information.

 

With the growing sophistication of these threats, it’s essential to have a strong, proactive email protection strategy in place.

At OWL360IT, we provide an advanced, multi-layered email security solution designed to protect your business from the most common and advanced email threats. Our solution integrates cutting-edge technology to detect, block, and neutralize malicious emails before they ever reach your inbox.

  1. Impersonation Detection: Our solution is specifically designed to detect impersonation attacks, including those where cybercriminals use a trusted senior employee’s name to deceive other employees. We monitor email headers, display names, and message contents to identify fraudulent messages and prevent them from being delivered.

  2. Phishing Protection: We protect your organization from phishing attacks by filtering out suspicious emails and identifying phishing attempts based on sender behavior, message structure, and content. Our solution provides a robust defense against attempts to steal credentials or manipulate your employees into taking harmful actions.

  3. Malware & Ransomware Protection: All incoming emails are scanned for attachments containing malware, ransomware, or viruses. Our solution ensures that malicious attachments are automatically quarantined, preventing malware from entering your system.

  6. Zero-Day Protection: Even if a new threat has not been identified, our zero-day protection feature uses machine learning and advanced algorithms to detect and block malicious emails before they can cause harm.

  7. Content and URL Scanning: Any links or content within emails are examined for potential risks. Malicious URLs are flagged and blocked to ensure that employees do not unknowingly click on harmful links that could lead to credential theft, phishing, or malware infections.

  8. Employee Education and Awareness: Email protection also includes employee training to raise awareness about common email-based attacks. By educating your staff on how to identify phishing attempts, suspicious emails, and other threats, you further reduce the risk of successful attacks.

  9. Quarantine and Reporting: Suspicious emails are automatically quarantined for review, allowing administrators to analyze potentially harmful messages. This ensures that no malicious content is missed and provides a detailed report of any blocked or flagged email activity.
