Limitations of Traditional Email Security Solutions.
Limited Detectability of Zero-day Malware.
Individual antivirus engines may have limited detection of new or advanced malware variants, ranging from only 6% to 70%. This means that a significant portion of new or sophisticated threats can go unnoticed, as no single engine can detect all threats.
Addiction to Known Threat Signatures.
Traditional antivirus solutions mainly rely on signature detection, which requires prior knowledge of malware signatures. New or unknown threats, often referred to as zero-day attacks, do not yet have defined signatures, making them invisible to systems based solely on signature matching.
Lack of Proactive Protection Strategies
Many antivirus solutions focus on threat detection, which means they wait for the threat to manifest itself before taking action. This approach is less effective for sophisticated attacks that can evade initial detection, underscoring the need for more proactive, behavior-based strategies that can identify and minimize threats before they execute.
Varying Response Times of Antivirus Software Vendors.
Response times to new malware outbreaks can vary widely among antivirus software vendors, depending on their location, market profile and the performance of their threat analysis systems. Suppliers focusing on specific regions or markets can prioritize risks in those areas. This can lead to a delayed or inadequate response to emerging threats in other regions or sectors.
Advantages of the Metadefender Email Gateway Solution
Multiscanning for Zero-day Malware Detection
Metadefender Email Gateway uses more than 30 antivirus engines along with machine learning and heuristics mechanics to effectively detect new and advanced threats. This multiscanning approach significantly increases malware detection compared to single engines, while reducing false alarms.
Deep CDR Technology to Protect Against Unknown Threats.
Metadefender Email Gateway uses advanced Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR) technology to detect and neutralize hidden threats that can bypass standard security. The technology performs a thorough analysis and reconstruction of file contents. This provides protection against custom exploits, steganography, dangerous metadata and other advanced attack techniques.
Multi-layer Protection Against Phishing Attacks.
The Metadefender Email Gateway solution offers advanced protection against phishing attacks, using multi-layered detection mechanisms based on advanced heuristics and machine learning algorithms. In addition, it performs real-time link reputation analysis using more than 30 online sources to identify and block attempts to steal credentials and sensitive information.
Dynamic Analysis of Unknown Malware.
Metadefender Email Gateway offers advanced sandbox analysis to detect malicious behavior in real time. Everything is done without having to redirect files to an external sandbox. The solution works directly in the data stream, providing fast and in-depth threat analysis and extraction of indicators of compromise. This significantly reduces the response time to new threats.
Comprehensive Protection Against Data Leaks
Metadefender Email Gateway provides comprehensive protection against data leaks by detecting and automatically redacting sensitive information such as personal information (PII) and medical data (PHI) in DICOM files. The solution also uses image text recognition (OCR) technology and content analysis to identify and protect sensitive information.
Benefits of Implementing Metadefender Email Gateway
Reducing the Risk of Inadvertent Hazard Involvement
Metadefender Email Gateway detects potential phishing attacks at multiple stages. In fact, it prevents users from accidentally clicking on dangerous links and attachments.
Protecting Business Files from Threats.
The solution removes document-based threats from attachments, protecting productivity and business continuity.
Increasing User Protection Against Sociotechnical Attacks.
Metadefender Email Gateway provides advanced protection, reducing dependence on user awareness of threats.
Elimination of Targeted Zero-day Attacks.
With proactive protection strategies, Metadefender Email Gateway effectively eliminates zero-day threats instead of relying on detection alone.
Increase Detection of Unknown Malware.
Metadefender’s advanced dynamic sandbox analysis technology allows it to detect malware that could go undetected by traditional solutions.
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
Metadefender Email Gateway protects sensitive data such as personal information (PII) and medical data (PHI). This ensures compliance with regulations such as RODO and HIPAA.
Shortening the Window of Vulnerability.
In summary, the Metadefender Email Gateway solution quickly identifies and blocks new threats, significantly reducing the time in which they can cause damage.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What are the limitations of traditional antivirus solutions in the context of email protection?
Traditional antivirus solutions have limited detection of new and advanced threats. This can lead to zero-day attacks being overlooked in email.
- How does Metadefender Email Gateway use multiscanning to detect zero-day threats?
Metadefender Email Gateway uses multi-scanning by more than 30 antivirus engines, which significantly increases the detection of new threats, including zero-day ones.
- What is Deep CDR technology and how does it help prevent attachment content threats?
Deep CDR (Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction) technology analyzes and deactivates potentially harmful content elements in attachments. Eliminating hidden threats such as exploits, steganography or other advanced attack techniques.
