Assurance of Your Email Security in Light of the ProofPoint Exploit
Recently, ProofPoint disclosed a significant security incident involving their email protection service, which led to a widespread phishing campaign. This incident has understandably raised concerns about the robustness of email security services. However, clients of 360 Security Services can rest assured that their email systems remain secure.
Why Our Services Are Secure and Superior
Our clients are safeguarded against exploits similar to the recent ProofPoint incident due to our unique methodology. Unlike traditional Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) that require sending or forwarding emails, our service leverages direct API integration with Microsoft 365 (M365) and Google Workspace (GWS). This integration eliminates the need for potentially vulnerable email forwarding, significantly reducing the risk associated with such attacks.
Legacy Secure Email Gateway (SEG) services work by intercepting and scanning emails before they reach the recipient's inbox. These services often require emails to be sent or forwarded through their servers for inspection, creating a single point of vulnerability. In the case of the ProofPoint exploit, attackers could leverage this forwarding mechanism to introduce malicious payloads into the email stream, bypassing traditional security checks like SPF and DKIM. This inherent design flaw in SEGs makes them susceptible to sophisticated phishing and malware attacks, as they rely on redirecting email traffic through potentially vulnerable servers, creating opportunities for exploitation.
How You Are Protected from Associated Emails
Our clients are not only shielded from the specific exploit but also from related phishing attempts. Traditional email security measures, like SPF and DKIM checks, can be bypassed by sophisticated phishing emails. To counter this, our service performs modern techniques based on multi-modal analysis. This advanced protection includes:
NLU/NLP Anomaly Detection: Understanding and detecting anomalies in the natural language used in emails.
Behavioral Analysis: Monitoring and analyzing behavioral patterns to identify suspicious activities.
Computer Vision: Using visual analysis to detect malicious content and patterns within email attachments and images.
