According to FireEye’s
latest Email Threat Report, 90 percent of email attacks were
malware-less, with phishing attacks serving as the greatest offender,
making up 81 percent of this subset. FireEye Email Security continues to
detect an average of over 14,000 emails with malicious attachments or
URLs per customer per month that get past other solutions. With email
continuing to be the most commonly used channel for both opportunistic
and targeted attacks, organizations can’t afford to overlook these
vulnerabilities.

First to Observe, Block and Adapt

FireEye Email Security delivers leading detection and protection
capabilities for email-based threats within one singular solution. By
consolidating the email security stack with FireEye, organizations can
also minimize the impact email-borne threats have on their network and
employees, while often benefiting from cost savings.

“It’s easy for organizations to become overly reliant upon
blocking-based protection, until they realize what’s been slipping
through. We see this time and time again in our incident response
engagements when other security solutions failed to block email
threats,” said Ken Bagnall, Vice President of Email Security at FireEye.
“Our full secure email gateway protects organizations from inbound email
attacks as well as outbound email exfiltration. This advanced level of
protection is critical in defending against today’s evolving threat
landscape, as spear-phishing, ransomware and impersonation attacks
continue to rise.”

“We wanted to consolidate our email security vendors into a more
efficient and effective footprint,” said Kostas Georgakopoulos, Chief
Information Security Officer at Procter & Gamble. “FireEye walked us
through its catalog of tools for blocking suspicious email traffic.
During the review, FireEye Email Security – Cloud Edition detected
malicious email that our current systems had missed. This demonstrated
the value FireEye delivers and solidified our decision to switch our
email protection.”

Protection Beyond the Traditional Secure Email Gateway

In addition to standard secure email gateway capabilities such as
antivirus, anti-spam, and signature-based anti-malware, FireEye Email
Security is designed to better protect customers with:

• Threat Intelligence Gathered from the Frontlines: FireEye’s
  first-hand knowledge of attacks and attackers gained from its incident
  response engagements and network of security researchers is used to
  continually improve FireEye Email Security by adapting detection and
  analysis engines to new attack techniques and developing new product
  features. This sets FireEye far apart from its competitors that don’t
  see what attacker techniques and tools are actually being used to
  bypass security solutions.
• Impersonation Protection: Executive names are increasingly used
  as display names in fraudulent emails, fooling employees into taking
  action. FireEye Email Security addresses both display name and header
  spoofing using actionable tools, such as Deep Relationship Analysis to
  identify anomalous email traffic, while email-specific threat
  intelligence, or Smart DNS, serve as the basis for the broad tool set
  that leads to quicker detection.
• Advanced Threat Protection: FireEye Email Security can detect
  and block inbound and outbound advanced threats other solutions miss,
  helping organizations protect their brand, and focus resources on
  responding to the alerts that matter.
• Custom YARA Rules: Organizations can introduce their own rules
  to manage and enhance detections, stop the latest threats and identify
  ongoing campaigns.
