ACCORDING TO CHECK POINT RESEARCH
Email scams have been on the rise in the past years, presenting ever-growing attack variety and sophistication. The success rate of these attacks is high, and the amount of effort required is relatively low compared to other types of attacks that rely on vulnerabilities in infrastructure or network.
This makes email attacks extremely lucrative for cyber criminals, which in turn constantly create increasingly sophisticated campaigns that are designed to bypass traditional security solutions, and exploit human nature.
Check Point Research have been observing an enormous rise in email attacks since the beginning of 2020, from multi-staged spear phishing attacks to Microsoft impersonation campaigns.

Phishing is one of the most common threats to organizations. It is probably the most versatile and sophisticated form of attack. Email phishing attacks often serve as the first stage of a bigger attack, making them the hacker’s front door to your organization – which will consequently enable lateral movement within the organization. For these reasons and many others, real-time phishing protection is crucial to ensuring that your organization is safe.

A good malware solution should provide organizations with the highest block rate possible, combined with little to zero impact on productivity. In order to maintain productivity without compromising security, the solution must be able to clean any file of active content instantly, so it can deliver it within seconds to the end-user. Block rate is crucial since once malware reaches the end-user’s machine, it’s too late.

Hijacking users’ accounts is achieved by gaining access to an account’s credentials through a phishing attack, a breach to a third-party site, or even on the dark web. A hijacked account presents a huge risk to organizations as the hacker now has complete access to the organization’s database, contacts, customer information, and other sensitive data. With account takeover, hackers also impersonate the account owner and send emails on their behalf, moving internally within your organization. Accordingly, your security solution must be able to prevent account takeover.
Data leakage presents a huge risk to organizations. Employees can unintentionally or sometimes intentionally leak sensitive data to outside the organization, which can result in fines for non-compliance with regulations, losing a competitive advantage due to intellectual property being breached, and even damage to brand equity. The solution you choose should enable you to set custom policies that work for your organization and automatically prevent employees from sending out sensitive information via email or any other productivity application they use.
