Mail Protection

Function:

Capabilities:

01

Advanced Threat Detection:

  • Anti-Malware Scanning: Uses advanced algorithms to scan email attachments and links for malware, preventing malicious content from reaching the inbox.
  • Phishing Detection: Employs machine learning techniques to identify and block phishing attempts, protecting users from fraudulent emails that attempt to steal credentials or sensitive information.
  • Zero-Day Protection: Utilizes an APT sandbox environment to test email attachments and links for unknown threats, providing protection against zero-day exploits that are not yet recognized by traditional antivirus solutions.

02

Spam Filtering:

  • Spam Identification: Leverages extensive spam databases and real-time updates to identify and filter out spam emails, ensuring that the inbox remains clutter-free and secure.
  • Content Analysis: Analyzes email content and metadata to detect spam characteristics, improving the accuracy of spam filtering and reducing false positives.

03

Email Encryption:

  • Secure Communication: Provides end-to-end encryption for email communications, ensuring that messages remain confidential and cannot be intercepted or tampered with during transmission.
  • Policy-Based Encryption: Allows administrators to enforce encryption policies based on specific criteria such as sender, recipient, or content type, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and organizational policies.

04

Data Loss Prevention (DLP):

  • Sensitive Data Identification: Scans outgoing emails for sensitive information such as personal data, financial information, or intellectual property, preventing accidental or intentional data leaks.
  • DLP Policies: Enables the creation and enforcement of DLP policies to block, quarantine, or encrypt emails containing sensitive information, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance.

05

User and Administrator Controls:

  • User-Friendly Interface: Provides an intuitive interface for users to manage their email security settings, report spam, and release quarantined emails.
  • Administrator Dashboard: Offers a centralized dashboard for administrators to monitor email security, configure policies, and view detailed reports on email threats and security incidents.

06

Integration with Other Security Tools:

  • SIEM Integration: Integrates with CYFOX’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system to correlate email security events with other security data, providing a comprehensive view of the threat landscape.
  • EDR and XDR Coordination: Works seamlessly with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) systems to provide coordinated responses to email-based threats.
