Inbound email is a target for spam, viruses, phishing attacks, malware, ransomware and other advanced threats designed to steal data and control your business. Although most threats are directed to your inbox, the risks are not limited to external threats. Your outbound email can be used to secretly send confidential business data or to distribute malicious software and viruses without knowledge.

Integrated security features such as Exchange Online Protection (EOP) can help, but there are thousands of threats that can easily bypass standard email filters. According to Symantec, five of the top six companies have been attacked with email-based phishing attacks that surpass traditional email security filters. These are time bombs in inboxes for users.

Have you ever wondered about the number of advanced threats and phishing attacks that have already penetrated your mail system?

The new Email Threat Scanner detects the security and compliance threats that have gone through your security environment and are currently in your Office 365 account. Barracuda scan solution for Cyber Threats will help you find:

– Advanced Persistent threats are directed to victims’ inboxes by attaching malicious files and then taking advantage of social engineering to trick users and open them.

– Fishing attacks spit out people impersonated within the organization to specifically target decision makers (e.g., CEO or CFO) and direct the victim to a malicious website that hits your computer

– Phishing through social networks, where hackers impersonate a reliable website or an e-commerce site and trick users into clicking links to malicious websites

– Internal threats that employees of your company may send information unintentionally or involuntarily sensitive to external malicious sites, such as sending customer data to competitors or PHI/PII to identity thieves

– Zero-day threats from malicious emails that have reached your mail system before the threat is known
