In cybersecurity, email has always been a critical concern. However, we feel the new 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms has signaled a shift in how we approach email protection. We believe this new Magic Quadrant encompasses a broader spectrum of email security providers to reflect the evolving threat landscape and the need for more integrated solutions.

In 2024, phishing threats have become more sophisticated, with cybercriminals leveraging new methods such as quishing and multi-channel attacks. The growing complexity is evident in recent data, with a rise in incidents reported to the ICO in the UK and a 10% increase in complaints, including phishing/spoofing, filed with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) in the US.

Egress’ Threat Intelligence Team has identified that over 7% of global phishing attacks now use an emerging obfuscation technique that employs Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP) links to mask malicious URLs. Often embedded in phishing emails that impersonate well-known brands, threat actors aim to undermine the 'hover' technique taught in most security awareness training programs.

Our Threat Intelligence team has observed an emerging obfuscation technique, specifically used to make Natural Language Processing (NLP) detection capabilities less effective. Broadly, malicious actors are adding additional characters, break lines, and legitimate links to the end of a phishing email in an attempt to disguise their malicious payloads amongst the noise and evade NLP detection.

Perimeter solutions such as Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) have long been a cornerstone of email security, historically serving as the primary line of defense against malicious emails entering an organization. Utilizing legacy technology such as signature and reputation-based detection, SEGs have provided pre-delivery intervention by quarantining malicious attacks before they reach the end recipient. Why, then, are 91% of cybersecurity leaders frustrated with their SEGs, and 87% considering a replacement?

Following the kick-off of the UEFA EUROs 2024 in Germany, Egress’ Threat Intelligence team has observed a massive spike in Euros-related phishing attacks, recording 7,000 unique campaigns with over 24,000 individual attacks since June 17th, 2024. These attacks are more sophisticated than you might expect, with many attackers choosing to impersonate businesses associated with the tournament rather than impersonating UEFA directly.

Mobile phones have revolutionized the way we work, granting unprecedented freedom and flexibility to access emails and communicate from virtually anywhere. However, this convenience comes with its own set of risks, particularly when it comes to email security. With the rise in remote work and the increasing reliance on mobile devices, employees are now responding to work emails at all hours, often on personal devices.

Human activated risk is real for every organization Whether it’s introduced through coercion by bad actors, human error, or malicious intent, human activated risk is a problem that keeps getting worse. Organizations need intelligent technology that can stop the sophisticated phishing attacks that continue to evade native security defenses, as well as outbound email risk which is too often underestimated.

In this video, we’ll provide an in-depth explanation on business email compromise. Learn more about BEC here: Business email compromise, or 'BEC', presents a growing problem for organisations of all sizes. In fact, over 6,000 businesses are targeted each month, making the UK the second most targeted region (26%) after the US (39%). That's why you and your colleagues should be aware of the tell-tale signs of a BEC attack and what you can do to avoid falling prey to phishing attempts. Do you have any questions about business email compromise? Let us know in the comments section below!

Microsoft 365 is the world's go-to productivity platform - but its native security technology is limited in its ability to stop outbound email data breaches. Outbound email is the leading cause of data loss across all industries and native Microsoft 365 security features aren't intelligent enough to protect you from human-activated data loss.

People will always make mistakes - and, unfortunately, in busy and stressful workplaces, such as hospitals and medical clinics, the likelihood of this increases. Without the right processes and technologies in place to help avoid mistakes, sensitive patient information remains at risk.
