Cybercriminals have moved far beyond generic spam. They now employ precise, targeted techniques designed to exploit trust and blend seamlessly into everyday communications. These include:
- Business Email Compromise (BEC): Fraudulent messages that convincingly impersonate executives or trusted partners, often leading to significant financial losses.
- Account Takeover Attacks: Gaining unauthorized control of legitimate email accounts to spread malicious content, compromise data, or launch further attacks.
- Zero-Day Threats and Ransomware: Exploiting new or undiscovered vulnerabilities to damage systems, encrypt data, and demand hefty ransoms.
- Conversation Hijacking: Inserting malicious replies into existing, legitimate email threads, making them incredibly difficult for users to identify as threats.
These sophisticated attacks often look legitimate and can easily slip past basic filters, making them harder for even vigilant users to detect.
Why Built-In Email Security Isn’t Enough
Native email security tools provide valuable foundational protection, but they are not designed to stop every type of attack. Many of today’s threats are specifically crafted to bypass standard defenses by mimicking trusted senders, avoiding known signatures, or delaying the activation of malicious content.
