Defend Your Inbox With Real-Time URL and Malware Protection Software
Email Anti-Malware Software Must Tackle an Evolving Challenge
Every day, around 350,00 new malware variants enter the world. As attackers constantly improve their tools and techniques, traditional defenses and SEGs are becoming powerless. Attacks today are more sophisticated than ever. From commodity “blast” malware to credential theft where phishing attacks are delivered to end-users because the URLs do not contain any traditional threat signals such as malware.
The success of phishing websites can best be explained by the psychological phenomenon first discovered in the early 1990’s known as inattentional blindness. Defined as an individual failing to perceive an unexpected change in plain sight.
Recognizing the perils of inattentional blindness, adversaries have begun to see the importance of creating attacks that deceive the human brain in addition to defeating technological controls.
Why Legacy URL and Malware Protection Software Can't Detect Fake Phishing Websites
Traditional URL scanning technology analyzes the source code of a suspicious HTML page in order to detect signatures of known attacks and any automated downloads of malicious code.
Today’s attackers work around this by using polymorphic versions of a fake landing page, which makes it impossible for signature-based legacy solutions to detect threats. By using subtle visual deviations to create pages that are nearly identical to the real deal, they also make it difficult for end users to recognize and report.
And these pages don’t even try to download malicious code – they just wait for users to enter their credentials providing attackers with a foothold inside the organization.
Here’s How You Can Protect Against Email Malware & URL Threats
- Educate employees. Since most malware and fake login pages requires recipients to provide information, train employees to identify cyberattacks and be skeptical about any message that requests action on their part.
- Understand the holes in your existing solution. Traditional anti-malware protection tools often fail against modern attacks. Firewalls, URL filters, and anti-spam software certainly have a place, but they will not protect you, your employees, and your company from today’s sophisticated attacks.
- Defend against new malware tactics. In an evolving phishing and malware landscape, you don’t need “just” another layer of security. You need real-time URL malware tools that analyze and remove the most advanced threats instantly.
