indiscriminate ‘drive by’ campaigns against
thousands of organizations, or as crafted,
‘spear phishing’ attacks that are customized
to a particular recipient or business.
To defend against phishing campaigns,
traditional defenses typically analyze
emails in light of an understanding of
historical attacks, blacklists, and signatures.
Yet cyber-criminals understand this reactive
approach better than anyone, and they
have every incentive to leverage novel
tactics and techniques that evade legacy
defenses by design.
However, while these attacks have never
been seen before and will therefore evade
traditional defenses at the border, this
means that at some level of description
they will be highly anomalous for the
targeted user or business – at least if the
‘patterns of life’ for the individual and their
wider peer group are taken into account.
This basic truth is precisely why a dynamic
analysis that takes into account hundreds
of metrics based on user and group
behaviors is so critical.
Powered by cyber AI, Antigena Email
can analyze links, attachments,
domains, content, and other elements
of an email alongside ‘patterns of life’
across the organization, correlating a
rich constellation of data points that
reveal seemingly benign emails to be
unmistakably malicious.
Unlike any other solution, Antigena Email
understands the human behind email
interactions, identifying anomalous
sending patterns, whether the location
of a link in an email is strange, the topics
of discussion and content are unusual, or
even whether patterns in the URL pathway
are suspicious.
This unique approach means that
Darktrace can take highly proportionate
and targeted actions to neutralize phishing
attacks within seconds. •
