Phishing Attacks

Phishing Attacks

Control

Problem

Attackers often use convincing emails that appear to be from a trusted source to trick users into providing sensitive information or downloading malware. Traditional email security solutions may not be effective in detecting sophisticated phishing attempts that use advanced social engineering tactics.

Furthermore, phishing attacks are constantly evolving, making it difficult for traditional security solutions to keep up with the latest techniques. A defence-in-depth approach to protecting against phishing attacks is key.

Sophisticated Phishing Techniques

Attackers are using increasingly sophisticated tactics to craft phishing emails that look like legitimate communications, making it difficult for traditional email security solutions to detect them.

End-user Behaviour

Human error is often a contributing factor to successful phishing attacks, as users may unknowingly click on malicious links or provide sensitive information in response to a fraudulent email.

Constantly Evolving Threat Landscape

Cyber criminals are constantly developing new phishing techniques and strategies, making it challenging for organisations to keep up with the latest threats.

Solution

The BlockAPT Platform leverages advanced technologies to detect and block phishing attempts, protecting employees and the organisation from falling victim to fraudulent schemes. Organisations can strengthen their email security posture, ensuring that only legitimate and safe emails reach their employees’ inboxes, helping to safeguard critical information, and foster a secure email communication environment.

Quantum Secure Communications

Deploying next-gen communication & asset protection for data in motion, or data at rest utilising the award winning MTE® (MicroToken Exchange) technology, organisations can cement an end to end secure digital infrastructure.

Machine Learning/AI Algorithms

The BlockAPT Platform uses advanced machine learning algorithms and AI to analyse incoming emails in real-time which may be exposed to phishing attacks. 

Using integrated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) plugins, the BlockAPT Platform can identify and flag suspicious emails that show signs of phishing, including fraudulent sender addresses, suspicious attachments, and embedded links that lead to fake login pages. Machine learning algorithms built in can also learn from past phishing attempts and predict future ones, helping the organisation to stay ahead of evolving phishing attacks.

Training and Awareness

Organisations can educate their employees on the dangers of phishing attacks and provide training on how to spot suspicious emails. This can help reduce the risk of human error and improve overall cybersecurity posture.

Multi-layered Defence

The BlockAPT Platform uses multiple layers of defence, including spam filters, antivirus software, threat intelligence, and firewalls, to protect against a range of cyber threats, including sophisticated phishing attacks.

Business Benefits

Stronger Security Posture

By utilising the BlockAPT Platform, organisations can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber-attacks that can result from successful phishing attempts

Improved Productivity

With a defense-in-depth approach and graphical dashboard visibility/reporting of compromised email addresses, end-users are better protected so spend less time sifting through spam and phishing emails, allowing them to focus on more important tasks.

Cost Savings

The financial cost of a successful phishing attack can be significant, resulting in lost revenue, legal fees, and other expenses. By implementing the BlockAPT Platform, organisations can avoid these costs and protect their bottom line.

Non Disruptive

The BlockAPT Platform can be deployed within an hour and does not disrupt your existing network and security ecosystem. The platform plug & play plugins, using APIs, allows out of the box integration with leading network and security providers in order to enforce a seamless defence-in-depth architecture.
