    Unmatched detection speed

    Leverage an unmatched detection speed that allows you to prevent all threats before they reach end-users, compared to the reactive approach of standard email security technologies.

Stop email-borne threats before they reach end-users

Malware and ransomware

Malware – including viruses, ransomware, spyware, worms, and Trojans - is most commonly delivered via malicious payloads – files and URLs. Thousands of new malware variants appear each day. Legacy solutions fall short when dealing with advanced evasion techniques and defending collaboration platforms.

Advanced Email Security helps you stop malware with multi-layered defenses, including:

  • Anti-evasion – Detect hidden malicious content
  • Threat intelligence – Stay ahead of emerging threats
  • Anti-phishing filters – Detect malicious URLs
  • Antivirus engines – Stop known malware
  • Next-generation dynamic engine – Catch zero-days and APTs that evade conventional defenses
Acronis
Phishing

Phishing attacks are the root of 91% of all cyberattacks, as reported by CSO Online. They leverage social engineering to deceive their target and gain access to sensitive information by employing files, URLs, and text-based techniques posing as legitimate sources.

Advanced Email Security helps prevent phishing before it reaches end-users with:

  • Anti-evasion – Unpack deeply embedded, hidden phishing attempts
  • URL reputation – Block known, malicious URLs based on four leading URL reputation engines
  • Image recognition engine – Block unknown malicious URLs based on the images and logos used on webpages
  • Threat intelligence – Combine six market-leading sources and Perception Point’s unique engine
Acronis
Business email compromise (BEC)

Impersonation-based attacks trick employees into making innocent mistakes, thinking they’re communicating with a person they know. A significant part of BEC attempts do not have a malicious payload and leverage only text-based techniques, making them especially tricky to detect and prevent.

The Advanced Email Security helps prevent impersonation attempts with:

  • Anti-spoofing - Prevent payload-less attacks through machine-learning algorithms with IP reputation, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC record checks
  • Anti-evasion – Deep scan to detect malicious hidden content
  • Payload-based protection – Reduce “further along the line” BEC attacks with threat intelligence, phishing, and antivirus engines
Acronis
Internal phishing

Internal phishing can result from account takeovers, malicious employees, or even human error. Legacy technologies commonly neglect internal emails, as scanning 100% of traffic results in delays in email delivery or damages files and URLs.

The Advanced Email Security prevents account takeover attempts and internal phishing with:

  • Scan 100% of traffic – Unique speed allows scanning all internal and inbound emails
  • URL reputation engines - Block known, malicious URLs
  • Image recognition engine – Block unknown malicious URLs based on the images and logos used on web pages
  • Anti-evasion – Detect malicious hidden content
  • Next-generation dynamic engine – Catch zero-days and APTs that evade conventional defenses
Acronis
Zero-days and APTs

Zero-days and APTs are especially hard to catch and prevent. They can lie in wait and strike months before they’re discovered by leveraging unknown software vulnerabilities. Standard APT modules, such as sandboxes or content disarm and reconstruction solutions (CDRs), rely on known data and behaviors that evasion techniques can mask when in a sandbox.

Advanced Email Security's market-leading technology helps you prevent zero-days and APTs:

  • Next-generation dynamic scan – Stop zero-days and APTs with a unique CPU-level technology that detects and blocks advanced attacks at the exploit stage, before malware release, based on the assembly code
Acronis
Evasion techniques

Email-borne attacks are getting trickier to detect. Attackers use evasion techniques such as new file types, link chains, malicious content hidden within clean files, stalling mechanisms that sandboxes can’t observe, ensuring the malicious payload takes action only when facing actual end-users. For conventional defenses, preventing such techniques is almost impossible as it takes too much time, money, and technological resources.

The Advanced Email Security uses unique technology to prevent evasion techniques that conventional defenses miss:

  • Anti-evasion - Recursively unpack the content into smaller units which are then dynamically checked by multiple engines in under 30 seconds, compared to 20+ minutes for legacy sandboxing solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What features are included in Advanced Email Security?

    Advanced Email Security, powered by Perception Point, helps prevent all email-borne threats, including spam, phishing, BEC and impersonation attempts, malware, APTs, and zero-days before reaching end-users with multiple protection layers.

    The anti-spam engines act as the first line of defense, applying anti-spam and reputation-based filters, including IP reputation checks, to email upon being received to block malicious or unwanted communication.

    Then all emails are recursively unpacked into smaller, individual components like URLs and files by the anti-evasion technology. This process detects malicious embedded or hidden content. The URLs and files are separately run in multiple versions and patterns through the subsequent security layers to catch any hidden threats.

    Advanced Email Security leverages powerful threat intelligence from six marketing leading sources combined with Perception Point’s technology that scans URLs and files in the wild to stay ahead of emerging threats.

    The anti-phishing engines apply URL reputation filtering from four market-leading sources combined with a unique image recognition technology that detects unknown, malicious URLs based on logos and images used on the webpage.

    To catch payload-less attacks (BEC), such as impersonation attempts, look-alike domains, and display-name deceptions, Advanced Email Security leverages machine learning algorithms with IP reputation, sender policy framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-Based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) record checks.

    Known malware is stopped with the help of best-in-class signature-based detection technologies, specifically developed to prevent email-borne threats, that act as another layer of protection on top of users’ local anti-malware solution.

    The last line of defense is the next-generation dynamic scanning that prevents advanced threats that evade conventional defenses such as zero-days and APTs. The unique, CPU-level technology acts earlier in the kill chain than any other solution to block attacks at the exploit phase by analyzing the applications’ execution flow during runtime to identify deviations from standard flow based on the assembly code.

    Moreover, service providers have access to a dashboard that provides a holistic view of the threat landscape across organizations with forensics data for each email, proactive insights on threats seen in the wild, and analysis of any file or URL on which the service delivery team needs forensics.

    With the incident response service, you also gain access to cyber analysts that monitor all customer traffic and malicious intent with ongoing reporting and ongoing support, including handling false positives, remediating, and releasing when required.

  • How easy is it to migrate to Advanced Email Security from another solution?

    If you choose to migrate to Advanced Email Security from another solution, the process of upgrading your services is as seamless as possible. Advanced Email Security is an API-based email security technology that integrates directly into the email system without the need for any additional configuration, including configuring MX records.

    If you already use Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, implementing Advanced Email Security happens with the flip of a switch.

  • Will Advanced Email Security affects clients’ email delivery?

    Due to the unmatched detection speed, which is up to a few seconds, compared to seven to 20 minutes for legacy sandboxing solutions, all emails are scanned before delivery to end users with near-zero delays to ensure proactive protection without disrupting every day business process.
