Infographic - Three steps to stopping advanced email threats
1. To learn more about how to build an effective email security strategy, watch our webinar,
“How to Build an Advanced Email Security Strategy”
Step 2: Fight Advanced Malware-Based Threats
Step 3: Respond to Threats
Business email compromise (BEC) and credential phishing are
effective because they rarely include malicious URLs or attachments.
To fight malware-free attacks, ensure your security solution:
2/3of BEC attacks spoofed
the sending domain of a
targeted company

Implements gateway
policies to identify
and block
payload-free threats
Implements email
authentication policies
to prevent all
domain-spoofing attacks
Leverages data loss

technologies to keep
sensitive information safe
Malware-based threats delivered through malicious
attachments and URLs continue to thrive,
bypassing even “next-generation” defenses.
No security solution can stop every attack.
Failing to prepare for the inevitable breach can result in
disrupted business, costlier cleanups, and more risk.

To fight latest advanced malware attacks, your team must:
Get end-to-end visibility
into every threat targeting
your organization
Invest in a cloud-based
sandboxing solution that adapts
to threats as they evolve
Leverage predictive
analytics to identify
suspicious payloads

Your biggest email security challenge isn't any single
threat. It's the abundance of them. Ransomware, business
email compromise (BEC), credential phishing, and more
may be bypassing your security defenses. That puts your
brand—and bottom line—at risk.
