Spear-Phishing Protection and Clean Email
Neutralizing over 2M email attachments each month, the Mantix4Secure Email Gateway receives incoming emails prior to hitting your inbox. Every attached file is instantly checked for known threats. Next, to protect your organization from undisclosed and zero-day threats, the patented Content Disarm and Reconstruction technology scans each file and removes all traces of malicious code. The cleansed file attachments preserve the integrity and functionality of the original files and are safe to edit. The email messages and their attachments continue on to your organization’s email server, but without the hidden threat inside.
In this way, the technology prevents exploits from attacking endpoints and spreading malware throughout your network. The entire process is invisible to users, does not disrupt business activity—and normally takes less than a second for the entire process!
Mantix4 Secure Email Gateway offers flexible deployment options for spear-phishing protection, so you can integrate this solution in any way that works best for your organization. To safeguard your organization’s privacy, Mantix4 stores no email messages on its servers, nor does it store the original or cleansed version of the attachments.
So, is this really a problem?
Phishing is currently the #1 method of delivering ransomware and other malware to organizations world-wide. This phenomenon is increasing at a rapid rate due to its effectiveness with only 3% of victims reporting the attack. Currently over 89% of all phishing attacks are stemming from crime syndicates (Verizon DBIR 2016) and their sophistication is increasing rapidly. It is currently estimated that over 30% of phishing get opened, with a full 12% of recipients clicking on the link or attachment (up from 23% and 11% respectively as reported in 2014).
The median time to open a phishing email in 2016 was 1 minute, 40 seconds. Within 3 minutes and 45 seconds, the malicious attachments in the email were opened, compromising the system. There is a reason why over 95% of all enterprise network attacks come from spear-phishing. It works!
