Trustwave MailMarshal: Staying Ahead of Threats with Machine Learning Techniques

Business Email Compromise (BEC) and phishing attacks have been persistent threats for years. However, their prevalence has surged in recent times due to attackers leveraging a vast number of endpoints to distribute malicious emails to their targets.

These attacks are no longer limited to executives in the C-suite; all employees within an organization are potential targets. It takes only one individual to inadvertently cause a breach. Alarmingly, in 2023 alone, 9 out of 10 organizations reported being affected by phishing.

Trustwave MailMarshal email security solution is continually evolving to combat current threats while proactively anticipating the strategies of threat actors. To achieve this, we incorporate advanced machine learning technologies:

• URL Deep Analysis: This technique evaluates whether a URL is likely to lead to a phishing or impersonation page before employees can access it.
• Page ML: By analyzing page content and headers, this system detects up to 12,000 previously unidentified threats daily.

These innovations have provided MailMarshal customers with robust protection over the years. Notably, no major breaches have been reported by customers using this technology.
