How Cisco Secure Email Works: Advanced Protection Components

Cisco Secure Email uses a comprehensive and integrated approach to provide robust email protection. Here are its key components that ensure overall security:

Intelligence-Driven Protection

• Reputation Filtering: Emails from known malicious sources are blocked immediately based on precise, up-to-date information from Talos (Cisco's threat intelligence team). This stops threats before they even reach the user's inbox.

• Outbreak Filters: This feature provides proactive defense against new and emerging viruses, scams, and phishing attacks by automatically quarantining suspicious messages. It can also rewrite malicious URLs in emails, redirecting users to a secure environment to prevent infection.

• Malware Defense: The Cisco Secure Endpoint solution scans and analyzes files and attachments, providing powerful protection against advanced malware and safeguarding your organization from zero-day exploits.

Targeted Protection Against Specific Threats

Cisco Email Security solution delivers effective protection against the most prevalent and dangerous email threats:

• Spam Protection: Using the Cisco Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE), the solution achieves a spam catch rate greater than 99% with a false-positive rate of less than 1 in 1 million messages.

• Forged Email Detection (FED): This feature is specifically designed to protect high-value targets like executives by analyzing various parts of an email to detect signs of manipulation, providing a strong defense against BEC attacks.

• Advanced Phishing Protection (CAPP): This powerful capability combines Talos intelligence with advanced machine learning to identify and stop identity-based attacks, such as fraudulent senders and social engineering.

• Domain Protection (CDP): This feature prevents phishing emails from being sent using your own company's domain, which protects your brand's reputation and prevents supply chain attacks.

Data Security and Management

Beyond protecting against inbound threats, Cisco Secure Email provides critical features for managing data and ensuring compliance.

• Outbound Data Security: Confidential messages are automatically protected through encryption, disclaimers, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies to secure sensitive content.

• URL-Related Protection & Control: The solution protects users from malicious URLs by scanning links within emails and attachments, providing another layer of defense against phishing.

• Web Interaction Tracking: For administrators, the system generates reports that track which users click on rewritten URLs, providing valuable insights for security awareness training and incident response.
