INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Enterprises could be even more vulnerable to email-based attacks according to a new study from BitDam which shows that malicious files
sources and qualifying them as unknown threats, BitDam was able to calculate the miss rate at first encounter as well as the Time To Detect
(TTD) of today's top email security products.According to the study's findings, the miss rate over seven weeks at the end of 2019 was about
23 percent for Office ATP while the TTD average was about 48 hours
However, close to 20 percent of missed unknown threats took four or more days to be detected and Office 365 ATP was 'blind' to selected
unknown threats it did not detect at first encounter
For G-Suite, the miss rate was 35.5 percent and the TTD average was bout 26 hours with around 10 percent of missed unknown threats taking
three days or more to be detected.These large detection gaps provide proof of how enterprises are often unprotected against unknown threats
and this can lead to successful email-based attacks such as ransomware, phishing and malware.Former founder and CTO of Bromium, Simon Crosby
