To quote Wikipedia “Phishing is a form of social engineering or scam where attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information or installing malware.” These types of attacks are on the rise and an estimated 82% of all security breaches involving data or financial loss come through phishing attacks. Of those, a massive 93% come via email! How do you keep your business safe?
Training your staff to identify phishing emails is always good practice. Is the email address from an unusual domain? Are there noticeable spelling or grammatical errors? Is this someone you’ve had contact with before? Does the email have a sense of urgency? But we’re all human, and humans make mistakes.
That’s where having a good email security system comes in. The email security built into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace is good at detecting general spam, but not so good at eliminating cleverly crafted phishing emails. Raspberry IT is now offering Avanan Email Security as an add-on package for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Avanan uses AI and Machine Learning to determine whether an email is spam, a phishing attempt, contains malware, or is even an attempt to release sensitive information. It scans emails after the default layers but before it is delivered to the end user. This positioning allows it to catch both external and internal threats, and results in a 99% reduction in phishing emails reaching your staff!
Avanan offers a 14-day trial, and we will set this up free of charge to demonstrate just how many malicious emails are reaching your staff. Contact us today to arrange your free trial!
