Advanced Threat Email Governance for a Large State-owned Bank
Background
As a core financial institution, a large state-owned bank’s email system
handles massive internal communications and customer interactions,
facing extreme cybersecurity and compliance pressures.
Current Challenges
Only a basic spam gateway was deployed, lacking dedicated phishing
protection. A recent surge in phishing emails—including fake "2024
May Day Holiday/Allowance/On-duty Notice" scams—posed critical
security risks, requiring urgent centralized governance.
Solution
PhishShield was deployed in the DMZ zone, enabling precise detection and
interception of spam and phishing emails by monitoring phishing alerts
and analyzing flagged messages.
Implementation Results
-
Achieved a 100% block rate for financial-targeted phishing emails (e.g., fake "2024 May Day Holiday/Allowance/On-duty Notice")
-
Intercepted over 2.31 million emails. Identified 353 suspicious files and eliminated 513 viruses. Accurately detected and blocked 170,000 phishing emails. As a result, a robust, financial-grade email security defense was established.
