What is email protection and defense against malicious emails?

Nearly one out of every four people who receive phishing emails opens it, and more than 10% click on the link or file attachment. People can’t respond to things that they can’t see, and software applications can’t report what they haven’t been able to locate, or what they don’t even know about.

Protection against malicious email is a broad concept that includes many techniques built around securing digital communication within organizations. This includes traditional security measures such as spyware detection, login security, and email encryption, as well as data retention, email or online archiving systems, and disaster backup and recovery.

Sinopia offers a variety of Proofpoint application solutions for business information security, email protection, educational software solutions and employee “education” awareness, that provide a comprehensive response to the business in the field of email security and information in the organization.

Email protection – methods

One branch of email protection is the array of methods used to stop unauthorized access to, or permission to use, secure email systems. This includes:

  • Login security: There are several methods to protect the access to an email account – from educating employees on best practices, to routine methods used by administrators.
  • Spam filtering: Automatic message filtering can prevent malicious and fraudulent email from arriving at your employees’ email inbox. 
  • For example, cybercriminals use this method (called phishing) to retrieve sensitive information from users unauthorized to release it, by pretending to work within the organization, or by embedding seemingly innocent links in emails.
  • Spam filtering and automated phishing prevention technology can help identify and block suspicious content, so that administrators can determine its risk index.
  • User security: Email filtering tools cannot “catch” email attacks that bypass the various filters in order to reach users via their personal email, their voice mail, or their SMS account.
  • There are a number of training services that can help educate employees in security awareness and safe browsing, by simulating real network and email hacks.
  • Email encryption: Email encryption is critical to protecting email content from unauthorized access, both in archives and when accessing the email to read it.
  • Employee education: In addition to implementing the correct technologies, organizations must ensure that employees are trained in the best practices for safeguarding sensitive data.

Advanced email filtering and control

Email protection enables you to set a strong email filtering policy as a first step in routing email to users. Detailed firewall rules can be created according to organizational needs, even at the level of setting antivirus policies.

At the same time, you can also leverage major user email operations, in order to improve the accuracy of detection and future classification. With an abundance of data and search tools, it is definitely possible to ensure that the organization’s email is protected.

Protection against imposter emails

It’s hard to detect attacks by an impostor. A solution can be generated through accessing machine learning processes that specifically search for these email threats.

The proposed solution uses what is known about the unique environment of the business, together with data that exists in the database of the technological infrastructure, in order to more efficiently detect and block email scams.

Protecting internal email

Damaged accounts have been found to be on the rise when organizations switch to cloud-based email services, Email security should be extended to help locate hacked accounts by protecting internal email.

You can automatically scan all internal email traffic, provide multi-layered access to detect spam, malware, or phishing attacks sent through hacked accounts.

The protection removes these emails and provides a report to show which accounts have been compromised. It also knows how to create a “casualty index” that enables you to understand which people are most affected, and to develop awareness of the issue in them. The score of this index is based on 4 main factors: Volume, Type, Level of targeting, and Attacker sophistication.
