In 2024, email security challenges have evolved far beyond inbound attacks, as cyber attackers increasingly leverage AI and employ multi-vector techniques that penetrate every facet of organizational communication. Read how the largest ever update to Darktrace/Email introduces new innovations designed to address the nature of modern email threats.

Using data from Darktrace's End of Year Threat Report this blog describes how advanced phishing attacks pose significant cyber risk to signature based threat detection tools and shows how AI can be leveraged by security solutions to defend against these threats.

This blog explores the benefits, implementation, challenges, and future trends associated with Domain-based Message Authentication (DMARC).

With the help of generative AI tools, the barrier to entry is lowered for cyber criminals to create many hyper-realistic emails with minimal errors, which are less likely to contain the low-sophistication markers of a typical phishing attack. This blog outlines how Darktrace/Email used its understanding of ‘normal’ to accurately detect and respond to a sustained phishing campaign targeting a real-life company.

This Darktrace long read investigates how psychological research into the nature of trust relates to our relationship with technology. Because the brain is wired to implicitly trust the devices it uses everyday, humans cannot be relied upon to identify anomalies such as phishing emails. Email security driven by machine augmentation, such as AI anomaly detection, is the clearest solution to tackle that challenge.

As attackers move from low sophistication, spray-and-pray campaigns to more targeted and sophisticated attacks, email security needs to understand the organization, not past attacks, to be able to keep up with attacker innovation and stop novel attacks on the first time of asking.

Financial institutions must follow specific IT security compliance standards, which regularly change. One credit union turned to Darktrace to align with its approach to compliance and risk, benefitting from email protection and proactive attack surface management.

In this blog, a Darktace analyst explores common email impersonation techniques seen by the SOC team and explains how DETECT/Email is able to identify them.

The current threat landscape is rife with social engineering attempts across email, SMS and digital messaging. Discover why MFA and security awareness alone aren't enough to keep organizations safe from these tactics, and what Self-Learning AI can do to help.

A new part of the McLaren car is created every 15 seconds, with suppliers around the world contributing to the team’s success. From a security perspective, each of these providers represent a potential chink in McLaren’s defensive armor. Learn why the security team chose Darktrace’s AI to protect the organisation from supply chain attacks.

Complicated by increasing SaaS usage and global supply systems, the supply chain is the most pressing concern facing cyber security. This blog examines how Darktrace detected a phishing email from a trusted third party, which led to a vicious cycle of compromise.

With globalized companies and supply chains, organizations need one solution which works for all emails no matter the time zone, no matter the language. This blog analyses how Antigena Email stopped a series of multi-language phishing attacks, including an Emotet campaign in Japanese.

This blog analyzes a sophisticated SaaS-based attack which leveraged several Microsoft 365 accounts to launch the offensive and maintain persistence.

Traditional email security tools weigh down the teams they were designed to help, with lengthy configuration processes and false positives which keep human operators in the weeds. This blog explains how autonomous AI frees up IT teams, enabling them to focus on what matters.

Malicious emails sent from trusted third parties bypass defenses all too often. This blog examines how Antigena Email stopped a recent supply chain attack by identifying a behavioral shift in the emails even though they came from a trusted source, while still allowing legitimate traffic from the same account to pass through.

As working patterns continue to evolve, Darktrace provides visibility over the remote business, detecting everything from account takeovers to advanced phishing attacks. This blog discusses how Cradlepoint utilizes Self-Learning AI to secure its SaaS environments.

Discover how Darktrace's Microsoft 365 connector detected and investigated a 2FA-compromised Microsoft account takeover. Learn these preventative measures!

Version 5 of Antigena Email contains several updates and upgrades that streamline workloads for time-pressed security teams. This blog post explains how AI augments human defenders by detecting sophisticated threats and presenting its findings in an intuitive way.

AI has fundamentally changed email security in recent years, but there is significant distinction to be made in the application of the technology which may determine genuine and future-proof protection from a backward-looking model incapable of catching novel attacks.

This blog gives five predicted trends for email security in 2021, explaining how attackers will continue to adapt their tactics to evade legacy security reliant on rules and blacklists.
