The death of the email attack 'campaign'
2020-11-03 19:00

The notion of the traditional email attack campaign is dying.

Phishing is one of the most common email attack techniques.

A user may report a suspicious email themselves by checking a box in their email client or forwarding it to the security team.

The probability of detection increases the longer an email campaign lasts, so cyber criminals are limiting the life span of malicious emails and making them more disposable.

The key to defeating the email threat is to drive detection times lower still, matching the shifting pattern of email attacks.
