Common Email Security Threats
Sender Impersonation
Sender impersonation is a clever attack where impostors act under the identities of internal employees (oftentimes the CEO) for financial gain. In most cases, impersonation attempts occur when attackers email company employees from a fraudulent domain name that is very close to the company's real domain. The criminal typically uses social engineering to understand the business structure and coerce the employee into a financial transfer.
Brand Forgery
Brand forgery emails look like legitimate emails from a brand you know and trust — but they are not really from that brand. Good marketing has trained people to associate certain images or phrases with a given brand. Brand recognition helps sell products, but it also leaves users vulnerable to brand forgery attacks. By including branding from trusted companies, phishers make their emails look more authentic and trustworthy. TREK's advanced brand forgery detection plays an increasingly important role in phishing protection.
Ransomware and Malware
A particularly destructive tactic is email containing unsuspecting links or attachments to malware. Phishing emails set the recipient up for what is called "malware injection." From there, the malware performs any number of tasks, including spreading itself through the network, data exfiltration, surveillance, and business disruption.
The TREK Email Platform
We believe the right email security posture blends great technology with empowered employees. TREK combines real-time training with modern technology that gets smarter with every email.
Anti-Phishing Protection
Detects and blocks brand forgery attempts and mitigates sender impersonation attacks. The Email Assistant helps employees make safer email decisions through a color-coded banner system.
Outbound Mail Protection
Reduces data leaks by scanning outgoing emails and enforcing corporate policies. Any rule violation triggers a confirmation page so mistakes are caught before they are sent.
Internal Mail Protection
Protects internal email traffic from attacks that originate within the organization. Sender profiles help block impersonation attempts and reduce risk.
Email Encryption
Simplifies email encryption and increases user adoption so that sensitive data is protected from the time it leaves your inbox until the recipient reads it.
Mobile Email Security
Banners work exactly the same no matter the device. Emails are flagged with a color-coded banner; users can view threat details and report messages from anywhere.
