The Email Gateway simulation evaluates your organization’s email security and potential exposure to a number of malicious payloads sent by email.
The simulated attack exposes critical vulnerabilities within the email security framework. By sending emails with attachments containing ransomware, worms, Trojans, or links to malicious websites, the simulation reveals if genuine malicious emails could bypass your organizations’ first line of defense and reach your employees’ inbox.
The simulation results are presented in an easy-to-understand comprehensive report. Mitigation recommendations are offered for each security gap discovered depending on the type of attack simulated, and how far the threat has managed to bypass security controls and distribute itself, enabling IT and security teams to take the appropriate countermeasures.
After running a simulation, the next step would be to test employees’ security awareness regarding socially engineered emails that try to lure them into opening malicious attachments, disclosing their credentials or clicking on malicious links.
