Keeping the business secure
Email remains a leading attack vector for security breaches across the globe. As bad actors increasingly attack and innovate, Cisco IT needed to strengthen its defenses.
Challenge
Facing increasingly sophisticated email threats, Cisco IT needed to go beyond base-level filters. With over 326 million incoming emails per quarter, they needed a plan that could:
- Clear out all the spam and marketing clutter that kept slipping past native email filters and filling up employee inboxes.
- Protect our business from all kinds of email threats — like phishing, fake invoices, and other scams — that put companies at risk every day.
- Provide our security teams with the AI-powered analytics necessary to counter the growing sophistication of cyber attacks.
Solution
We augmented our existing layers of security by adding Email Threat Defense and Splunk — combining advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven threat detection. Cisco IT now uses:
- Cisco Email Threat Defense utilizing 90+ AI detectors to stop threats in their tracks.
- Splunk Attack Analyzer automating threat analysis and digital forensics, broadening our response and analytics capabilities.
- Additional products across the Cisco portfolio to provide layers of protection for users on any device, anywhere they connect.
