Email Filtering
Your gatekeeper
Why your inbox is the entry point of choice for malicious actors
Imagine someone posing as a courier coming to your front door. If they look and sound convincing enough, there’s a good chance you’ll open the door. In the digital world, your mailbox is that front door—and burglars are already pretty good at looking trustworthy.
The data speaks for itself: Over 90% of attacks in the world begin with a simple Email message. Not with complex systems or sophisticated technical exploits – just a message that looks legitimate. The reason is simple: why break in by the back door when you can knock on the front door and have it opened for you?
What’s new in the world of malicious email
In the past, spam was mostly a nuisance – messages about miracle cures or offers of money from African princes. Today it’s a whole different game. Attackers have become professionals. They research and study your company on social media, identifying who the admins are, how they write, and what the relevant topics are.
Example: Imagine an email that an employee at a company receives from the “CFO” requesting an urgent transfer of money to a supplier. The email is written in the same style as the manager, the name is correct, the address is very similar, etc. With a little research and an email that looks authentic, the result could be a transfer of a sum of money to a fictitious bank account.
How our digital shield works
An advanced email filtering system is like a super-smart receptionist. It doesn’t just check to see if the visitor looks suspicious – it remembers faces, checks credentials, and analyzes behavioral patterns. Here’s how it works:
- The first stage – Identity check: The system checks whether the sender is really who they claim they are, using address verification (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). This is like checking that the certificate matches the person presenting it.
- The second stage – Security environment: Each attached file “enters” an isolated room on the computer, where the system investigates its behavior. If it starts acting like a virus, it is blocked immediately.
- The third stage – Behavior analysis: Does a message coming from the boss really sound like the boss? Is the language natural? Does the request make sense? Our advanced systems can identify these anomalies.
What the system actually detects
- Sophisticated phishing messages: Those that look like they come from the bank, the landlord, or co-workers. The system learns what real correspondence looks like compared to counterfeit messages.
- Dangerous files: The system knows that a regular Word file shouldn’t try to connect to the Internet or change files on your computer. If it does, it’s blocked. This includes ransomware that encrypts files or remote access tools (RATs) that give an attacker access to your computer.
- Dangerous links: The system checks where the link really leads. If it pretends to be one site but leads to a different one, it’s blocked.
What this actually means for you
Peace of mind: Employees can open emails without thinking twice about every link. This frees them up to focus on their real work.
- Saving time and money: Instead of dealing with attacks after they happen, you stop them at the gate. It’s much cheaper than doing damage control afterwards, and also reduces the burden on SOC and IT teams during security incidents.
- Regulatory compliance: Many new cyber laws require proactive protection. An advanced filtering system meets these requirements.
- Managers can relax : confident that the organization’s most vulnerable asset , its employees are fully protected.
The simple and important things
In a world where cyberattacks have become more sophisticated, email remains the most popular entry point for hackers. Not because it is the most technically vulnerable, but because it involves the human factor – and people can fall victim to various tricks.
Investing in advanced email filtering is essentially investing in your employees. It gives them the tools to be more secure, without making them paranoid, which is exactly what a modern organization needs.
