The risk?

Small businesses have limited resources to combat high-volume or complex scams.

Advanced BEC Protection:

AI where you need it most

To effectively identify anomalies and suspicious emails, artificial intelligence capabilities are essential for detecting even the subtlest signs of malicious activity. Mimecast’s Advanced BEC protection utilizes AI to analyze communication patterns, writing styles, and contextual clues to block threats beyond malware or phishing links.

By leveraging billions of signals from across our platform, our AI detection continuously adapts to evolving threats using a multi-layered approach that prevents potential financial losses and data breaches.

Mimecast’s connected human risk management platform offers administrators deep visibility into BEC threats, providing actionable insights for informed security policy decisions and targeted mitigation strategies.

THE MIMECAST SOLUTION

Key benefits of Advanced BEC

Sentiment

Automatic classification of whether a message is potentially a form of BEC attack or not consequently requires AI models that are able to not only identify words but understand the intent. The models must understand generic, underlying patterns which humans are not able to comprehend.

Subject Line Detection

BEC attacks are often very subtle and sometimes provide very little to no clue within the body of the email. Mimecast will not only analyze the message body for sentiment, but also the subject line to determine if there are any risky indicators which may trigger a policy.

Policy Performance (CG only)

Not only will we include the ability for you to set policies based on the confidence level of a detection, but you will also have policy modelling functionality to determine which messages may be caught.

Contextual Sender Information

Highlighting the sender is important but being able to leverage our social graphing technology from Cybergraph to be able to provide contextual information on the sender at an individual and organizational level. This provides admins the ability to understand more about who sent the message to understand why it was rejected or held.

Integrated Platform

Mimecast doesn’t solely rely upon NLP text extraction and a threat model to detect a BEC attack.
· Email DNS authentication failures.
· Domain and user similarity checks using a proprietary algorithm.
· IP address, sender and domain reputation.
· Feeds of known bad IOCs, email content and reputational feeds.
· Credential Theft Protection for suspicious calls to action, correlation of brands between images and sender, web page and certificates.
· Multi-stage phishing detection through phishing signatures.
· IOCs extracted from previously classified emails.
· Abnormal patterns of communication using social graphing technology.
· Rules and heuristics developed by Mimecast Threat Researchers.
