What is Advanced Email Security from ALTA-ICT?

The system continuously monitors communication patterns and intercepts suspicious emails, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.

Increase Awareness of Email Users with Security Banners

The banner you see in the image is an example of a security feature often added to e-mail systems to help users be more aware of potential security risks. This particular banner informs the recipient that the sender, gucciworld@email.gucci.com, has never sent emails to your organization before. This is an important warning because it may indicate a phishing attempt, in which a malicious party tries to impersonate a trusted entity to obtain sensitive information.

The banner has two interactive elements that allow the user to take action:

  1. Report Phishing: Allows the user to report the email as suspicious. This is useful for IT security teams to conduct further analysis and take action as necessary to protect the organization.
  2. Remove Banner: If the user is familiar with the sender and is sure that the e-mail is safe, he/she can choose to remove the warning banner. This can occur with false positive detections, where the system mistakenly marks a legitimate sender as suspicious.

These banners are effective in increasing vigilance among users and provide a direct way to manage potentially dangerous emails. They play a crucial role in an organization’s defense strategy against email-based threats and help foster a culture of security awareness.
