Deployment at a multinational medical enterprise
Current Challenges
Despite deploying a spam gateway, the enterprise continues to
face
infiltration by phishing
scams, malicious code emails, and
Business
Email Compromise (BEC)
attacks—posing serious risks to
corporate
security and core
business data. The globally distributed
office
structure further
complicates centralized email protection,
making
unified threat defense
increasingly difficult to maintain.
Requirements
-
Accurately identify virus emails, social engineering attempts, and targeted spear-phishing attacks.
-
Eliminate spam and gray-area emails to minimize operational disruptions and improve email efficiency.
Deployment method
PhishShield was deployed in BCC forwarding mode, enabling
covert
secondary inspection of
all email traffic without modifying the
existing
routing architecture.
This approach ensures robust threat
detection
while maintaining
operational transparency and business continuity.
Implementation Results
Initial Phase (June): Nearly 600 malicious emails were intercepted in
a
single month,revealing a
high-risk threat environment.
Optimization
Phase (July–August,
November):
Interception volumes steadily declined as the
protection
mechanisms adapted and matured.
