The problem: spearphishing
Spearphishing is a top attack vector used by cyber adversaries today. Consists of fraudulent emails that appear to be legitimate which target specific organizations, groups, or individuals to gain access to information systems. Targeted spear phishing also leverages social engineering which includes research about specific targets of interest. Organizations rely on email connectivity with the outside to function and thus is an entry into a potential target’s environment that bypasses many of the legacy security stack.
