By now, you know what inbox incursions are. It’s when API-based email security solutions allow a malicious email into the inbox before remediating.
This process can take, on average, three minutes and three seconds. But the user will click on a phishing link in an average of 82 seconds. Thus begins a race condition in which the user will likely win–meaning a major loss for your organization.
Should a user click on a phishing link that leads to a damaging and costly ransomware attack, the IT team that implemented this API-based tool that can only respond to emails will have to answer some tough questions from the C-Suite and board.
Question 1: How does this security solution work?
Answer: It responds to malicious emails after they reach the inbox
Question 2: So it lets all threats into the inbox?
Answer: Yes
As you can imagine, this won’t be a fun conversation. All it takes is just one click on a phishing link for damage to occur. With the average data breach costing $4.24 million per incident, that one click can bring an organization down. In fact, 60% of SMBs will go out of business within six months of being hacked.
But here’s the thing, and here’s where IT teams should pay attention: Avanan gives you the capability to stop all threats before the inbox. Choosing that form of security is always an option.
Avanan gives you the capability to stop all threats before the inbox. You had that option. You did not take it and then you got popped. What will you say to the CEO? The Board? "I liked the colors on the other dashboard? The company had a lot of funding?"
A third of all data breaches lead to job losses. The most affected person? Anyone in a senior IT role.
To protect your company–and yourself–from damage, you need a security solution that actually protects. You need a solution that prevents inbox incursions and stops threats before the inbox.
Only Avanan can do that.
