End of Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware and morphed forms of embedded malware are creating havoc for IT security organizations. Weaponized invoices, resumes and other malicious documents are distributed through compelling social engineering campaigns to evade existing email security gateways and sandbox analysis.

Organizations are scrambling to find an immediate solution and have turned to Clearswift (see article Clearswift sees 70% growth in its ‘Advanced Threat Protection’ solution) for an unprecedented layer of sanitization to detect and completely remove embedded ransomware triggers without delaying digital activity. Proving to be the most effective and inexpensive defense that can be immediately added-on to existing email security. No rip and replace.

Clearswift enables an effective layer of real-time email inspection to detect and completely sanitize ransomware threats, delivering highly secure email without delay including:

• Deeper inspection by completely dissembling digital activity for email, web, cloud and endpoints. Not evaded due to size, multiple levels of encapsulated files, virtual machine awareness, etc.
• Sanitization without delay in delivery, as only malicious active content is removed, allowing the rest of the message or digital transaction to continue unhindered.
• Eliminates high rates of false positives and negatives often found with traditional signature matching and virtual analysis.
• Morph-free protection against today’s leading malware and ransomware (i.e. CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, TorrentLocker, Dridex, Dyre, BlackEnergy, etc.) and tomorrow’s  even more sophisticated variants.

Prevent the harvesting of hidden information from your corporate website, social media, email communications and cloud collaboration sites that lead to initial phishing and social engineering attacks.
