Did you know that 98% of all organizations receive dangerous emails in their inboxes? This often happens without you even realizing it! Undetected email threats can put your business at serious risk. That’s why it’s very important to identify the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your email security. And you can do that with an Email Threat Scan!
Below, we've listed the most common threats for you:
Spam
By now, everyone is familiar with spam: annoying emails from annoying people. These messages are usually commercial in nature and are sent without your knowledge.
Malware
Malware is short for ‘malicious software’ and is essentially a type of program designed to infiltrate computers and cause damage. Common types of malware include viruses, worms, spyware, and ransomware that encrypts your data, …
Zero-day threats
But zero-day threats are perhaps the most dangerous of all: they are attempts by hackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Because the software developers themselves are unaware of these vulnerabilities, we call them ‘zero-day attacks.’ There are zero days to fix the problem before the attack occurs.
Spear-phishing
Spear phishing is essentially the same as phishing, but much more effective. These fraudulent emails have an even higher open rate because they’re crafted very cleverly. They’re tailored to the recipient and appear very authentic. As a result, many people fall for the scam and click on the link or attachment in the email—with all the consequences that entails.
Account Takeovers
Account takeover is essentially online identity theft. Cybercriminals take over an innocent victim’s account and try to make money by altering information, making purchases, and gaining access to other accounts.
Scan your surroundings
These days, malicious emails are very cleverly crafted and sneak past your ‘gateway’ unnoticed. But how can you detect these threats? Specialized scans can help you do just that. Using artificial intelligence and API integration with Office 365, you can quickly check whether there are any threats in your inbox.
