Email Threats
Spam Problem

75-90% of Email is Spam 1

● Spam has increased fivefold in the last
couple of years.2

● Zombies and botnets make it easier for

spammers and are now responsible for
most spam

● Spam is evolving with new techniques

like image spam

● Even if blocked from the inbox, letting

spam into the network uses bandwidth,
storage, and other network resources

they receive are spam)

Virus Problem

Viruses are only in about 2-6% of emails.1 And the number of viruses can add up.
HOWEVER, the impact can be substantial.

Instead of the mass virus attacks of

the past, hackers are using viruses
for monetary gain (often using more
targeted attacks)

Phishing Problem
• Email fraud made up 4% of email in 20061
• Phishing emails spoof legitimate companies and
attempt to steal information 1

• Phishing affects both individuals and corporations

with thousands of unique phishing threats sent out
every month
• Companies need to protect themselves from loss
of confidential information and potential liability

Targeted Attacks

Unique attacks tailored for the targeted organization

• Viruses (such as ransom attacks)
• Spyware in Email
• Corporate Spear Phishing
• Directory Harvest Attack (DHA)
– Tries numerous variations of possible email
addresses using a company’s domain
– Goal = to acquire a valid email list for the company
– Can use the list later for a targeted attack, such as a phishing, virus, spyware,
or spam attack
• Bounced Mail Attacks
– Spoofs a legitimate company by inserting its domain as the email sender
– When the receiving servers bounce the email, the bounced emails
are sent to the spoofed company, flooding the server and tainting the
reputation of the innocent company

7
Data Privacy & Protection

• Regulatory Compliance
Regulations impose mandates on data protection or privacy
Can affect email and other digital communication
• Corporate Governance
Internal standards or policies that a company uses to govern itself
In this case policies for appropriate use of messaging
• Loss of Confidential Information
Protection against data leakage, whether intentional, or inadvertent

13
Network Reputation Services

Network Reputation Services

• Global: Verifies IP addresses against the world’s largest, most trusted reputation
database
• Dynamic: Identifies new spam and phishing sources, stopping even
zombies and botnets when they first emerge

Fights off spam at the source

• Before it enters the gateway
• Uses email samples and sender
histories to accurately determine
the reputation

to be filtered by the traditional scanning
• Saves bandwidth, storage, and other network resources

14
IP Profiler

Customer-Specific
Reputation Services
Spam
Virus
DHA Attacks
Bounced Mail
Customers set thresholds
• Duration emails from an IP Address are monitored
• Percentage of emails from that IP Address that contain the email threat
• Total mails that need to be received to be considered a relevant sample
• Triggering actions – what happens when these thresholds are met
(block temporarily or block permanently)
Provides customer-specific reputation services by blocking IP addresses that
exceed set thresholds—also keeps threats completely off the network

Trend Micro Anti-Spam Composite Engine

What is Trend Micro Anti-Spam Composite Engine?

Trend Micro anti-spam composite engine uses a “cocktail” approach to
block both spam and phishing emails.

– Statistical Analysis
– Advanced Heuristics
– Signature Filtering
– Whitelists/Blacklists
– Multilingual Spam Detection
– Patent-Pending Image Spam Detection Technology

Industry Proven Technology

Install base of over 25 million seats over the past four years

16
Image Spam Detection

Patent-Pending
Image Spam Detection
Boils down to the core of
the email—for example,
strips out background and
text colors, dimensions,
and other randomized
elements
Enables just a few main
signatures to stop all of
the numerous variations

17
Award-Winning Antivirus and Anti-Spyware

Antivirus – Email and Attachments

• Pattern files
• Zero-day protection
– Zero-day protection applies
heuristics to detect unknown
viruses
– For example, IntelliTrap stops
viruses based on the tools used
to hide the virus and not the
virus code itself--no signature
is required
• Anti-spyware and other malware
protection for email
• ActiveAction provides automated responses to viruses, spyware, and other malware

18
Anti-Phishing

Technologies specific to phishing

• Phishing signatures
• Heuristics for phishing indicators
• Reputation services block known
phishers
• Embedded URL reputation

Customers can set

policy rules for
phishing emails

19
Protection from Targeted Attacks

• Technologies that prevent known attacks will not work

(for example, signatures and reputation services)

• Instead we apply predictive techniques--zero-day protection, heuristics,

and behavior analysis
- Antivirus = prevents virus attacks aimed at
specific organizations (for example, ransom attacks)
- Anti-spyware = stops the more targeted spyware
attacks sent through email.
- DHA and bounced mail protection (IP Profiler) =
protects against bounced mail attacks and
directory harvest attacks, which can result in
additional targeted attacks
- Anti-phishing = blocks corporate spear phishing

20
Data Privacy and Protection

Enforce Content Compliance

• Minimize legal liability
• Comply with regulations (SOX, HIPAA, …)
• Support internal messaging standards
• Prevent data leakage
• Antivirus stops any malware sent by email that
could potentially damage or corrupt data.
• Anti-phishing helps to prevent the theft of confidential information.
• Anti-spyware stops the potentially more targeted attacks sent by email
which attempt to steal corporate data.
• Flexible content filtering enables the efficient inspection of messages to
ensure that data does not improperly leave the organization.

21
Content Filtering

Inbound and outbound content filters scan emails and attachments

 Specify Protected Content
− Attachment characteristics
(true file type, name, size, etc.)
− Keywords, lexicons, and preset dictionaries
− Customize with Boolean and regular expressions
 Select Authorized Senders or Recipients
− Company-wide, department, group, or individual
 Designate Appropriate Enforcement
− Delete, quarantine, notify, postpone, pass,
encrypt with TLS, or archive
− Add company specific legal disclaimers
to email text

22
Easy Management

• High performance
• Highly scalable solution
• Single Web-based
management console
• Centralized policy,
quarantine, archive,
logging, and reporting
• Delegated administration
• Message tracking
with flexible search criteria
• End-User Quarantine

23
Policy & Reporting Enhancements

Policies

Appendix
Product Levels

Threat protection is packaged in different levels

* IMHS Standard = complete inbound protection with streamlined management

IMHS Advanced = granular access and control for inbound and outbound traffic
with flexible content filtering, similar to IMSS and IMSA

33
IP Profiler

Firewall against DHA and Bounced Mail Attacks

IP Profiler applies additional information to block directory harvest attacks
• Number of recipients that can be listed in an email
• Number of non-existing recipients
(this technology is LDAP integrated)

IP Profiler also conducts other behavioral

analysis to block DHAs

Back to Main IP Profiler Slide

34
IP Profiler – How It Works

1. Records all inbound and outbound SMTP traffic

2. Reports records on email traffic from each IP Address to a database
3. The emails are scanned by the anti-spam composite engine
4. The results of the scanning engine are reported to the database
5. The traffic from the IP Address is profiled by cross referencing the
recorded traffic with the scanning results
For example, total messaging from the IP Address vs.
spam messages from the IP Address
6. This outcome is compared against the user thresholds
7. If the outcome exceeds the thresholds, the trigger action is applied
Block Permanently (SMTP 5xx) or Block Temporarily (SMTP 4xx)
