The Threat of Sophisticated Executive Spoofing Emails Cyberattacks originating from email are evolving beyond traditional phishing and malware attachments into sophisticated 'spoofing emails' that impersonate CEOs, executives, or business partners. Recently, the misuse of AI has resulted in more natural-sounding messages, making it difficult to judge whether an email is legitimate based on the sender's name alone. Even companies using Gmail or Microsoft 365 may find that standard features and existing security measures are insufficient to fully prevent damages from such emails.

Limitations of Standard Measures and Manual Assessment Many companies have already implemented some form of email security. However, emails that impersonate executives but come from different sources or contain unusual wording are often missed by mechanisms relying solely on known attack patterns. Furthermore, once a dangerous email reaches an employee's inbox, manually identifying who received it and attempting to delete it before it is read often leads to reactive responses.

Learning Email Patterns to Detect Anomalies This webinar will explain how to prevent damages from executive spoofing emails in Gmail and Microsoft 365 environments. Barracuda Email Protection goes beyond generic signature-based detection; it learns an organization's past email communication patterns to build a custom AI model for each customer. By understanding the normal email trends on Gmail and Microsoft 365, it accurately distinguishes suspicious emails where the sender, content, or flow of interaction differs from the norm. Moreover, the AI continues to learn as it is used, automatically adapting to changes in environments and attack methods. Additionally, it supports the identification of recipients and remediation (deletion) when dangerous emails are found after delivery, realizing a robust email security operation that does not rely on manual judgment or human intervention.
