When Office 365
meets cyberthreat 24/7
Most businesses have put time and effort into educating users
on the threat of dodgy email. But what can you do whencybercriminals and spammers are constantly changing their tactics?

When email is the number one malware vector
for business1, relying on default or built-insecurity settings to protect you is risky.

Like Microsoft Office 365, it’s hosted in the cloud.
And like all Kaspersky Lab solutions, it’s built on
the world’s most tested, most awarded security.

Kaspersky Security for Microsoft
Office 365 helps your business to detectand block spam and malicious email
before it becomes a problem – withoutslowing productivity or accidentally
deleting legitimate traffic.

Spam: more thanjust a nuisance
From bandwidth to lost productivity,
spam is more than a business nuisance:
the average worker spends 13 hours
a year scanning and deleting it.2

And what about the time wasted tracking
down legitimate business mail that’s been
mistaken for spam? Blocked mail is one
thing, but it’s even worse when mail is
automatically deleted – a common issue withbuilt-in security settings in cloud email.
All this before you take into account thefact that a lot of spam carries malware.
58% of all email traffic is spam. Why waste thetime, resources and money you’ve saved by moving
to the cloud on junk messages no one wants?

Anti-spam technologies
Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365 uses nextgeneration spam detection and analysis, powered by machinelearning and real-time, cloud-based threat intelligence from
Kaspersky Security Network to detect and block constantly
evolving spam techniques.

Robotized Anti-Spam with
content reputation
Kaspersky Lab’s anti-spam system
is built around machine learningbased detection models. Roboticspam processing is supervised byKaspersky Lab experts, enabling
effective detection of even the mostsophisticated, unknown spam, withminimal loss of valuable messages
due to false positives.

Authenticated email support

Kaspersky Security Network

MassMailSpoofing is one of the main toolsof socially engineered fraudulent
and malicious spam. Sender Policy
Framework (SPF) ensures that
incoming emails that appear tocome from trustworthy sources aregenuine – greatly reducing the riskof spoofing.

Kaspersky Security Network collects
near real-time information about
new spam from around the world– enabling immediate response
to unknown spam, including “zerohour” and new epidemics. It does
this automatically, without the needfor intervention from IT staff, andhelps prevent mail flooding andinfections.

Messages from a trusted source may
have some spam attributes, but not
actually be spam – and can evenbe useful for work purposes. To
ensure employee productivity, thesemessages can be tagged as MassMailor moved to a special folder, rather
than deleted outright.

Phishing: the threat’sin the post
Cybercriminals use email to launch their attacks becauseit’s the quickest, most direct route into the heart of any business.

They also know that, despite your best efforts toeducate users, a well disguised email is usually
enough to persuade even a cautious user to click
on a malicious attachment or link. Phishing attacks
typically involve emails disguised as legitimate
communications, designed to encourage users
to click on a malicious link or attachment. We’ve
all seen them – SPECIAL OFFER! LATE PAYMENT!
YOUR PARCEL IS DELAYED! - they’re not simply
designed to entice users to click without thinking,they deliberately use persuasive language andtechniques that make them convincing.

Spear phishing takes this a step further. It’s much
more targeted and usually singles out wellchosen people working at a company with tailormade mails and attachments that look almost
exactly like legitimate communications: a ‘job
application’ sent to the specifically named hiring
manager, with an email referring to a legitimate
job advertisement; an invoice sent to the correct
person in accounts, referring to a company
that legitimately does business with you.
More recently, we’ve seen the rise of the ‘Business
Email Compromise (BEC)’ – mail that appears

21%of reported
cyber incidents
involve someform of phishing3

to have come from someone within your own
company, such as the CEO. These usually‘sanction’ money transfers or solicit sensitive
data. Because they’re so finely tailored, thesemails often make it past spam traps – they’re
not sent in large volumes and are usually only
sent to a couple of well-chosen employees.
By hiding a file extension from casual sightor disguising an email address to look likeit comes from the CEO, cybercriminals
can easily exploit weak security.

Malware: ransomware, zero-hour
exploits and dodgy attachments
66% of malware is installed via malicious attachments.4
Zero-hour and zero-day attacks often lurk inside Word,
Excel, PowerPoint and other business application files,
waiting for the user to click.

In many cases, malicious attachments carrymalware designed to steal authentication dataor log-in details using spyware – the malware
is installed without the user’s knowledge. Other
common attachment-based attacks include
ransomware – once launched, the user’s data is
encrypted until a ransom is paid.
