What’s happening

The workforce is coming under multi-staged attacks targeting attack vectors such as users, their devices, and applications such as email.

The impact

User risk profiles changed significantly with hybrid work. With a higher percentage of users outside the campus network, attacks are posing a greater risk to organizations. Email is still one of the most common attack vectors.

What you can do

• Recognize that many new attack techniques evade detection via traditional channels like email.
• Make sure your email security and other security solutions are up to date to detect advanced attack techniques and stop them effectively.
• Adopt a platform approach using Extended Detection and Response (XDR) so they can see a threat once and block it everywhere.
