Cisco Email Security

—Graymail Management and 

Safe Unsubscribe 

 

What if you could get more visibility and control into email not specifically flagged as 
spam or phishing? You can with the Cisco

®

 Email Security Appliance. It reduces your 

exposure to compromise while improving worker productivity. 

Graymail is a growing problem in every business. It consists of 

marketing, social networking, and bulk email messages. These 

aggressive messages are not spam, but they are often unwanted 

because the recipient may not have intentionally opted in to receive 
them. Attackers use “unsubscribe” links to harvest addresses or 

install drive-by download malware on the target website. This is just 

one example of how attackers continue to innovate. But Cisco 

continues to innovate as well. 

Our graymail management solution detects and classifies graymail and then automatically presents recipients with 

a safe way to unsubscribe. Email administrators gain better visibility into graymail activity reflected in reporting and 

message-tracking tools. 

The Evolving Threat Landscape 

As you likely read in the 2015 

, attackers are using applications that users inherently 

trust or view as benign. One of the latest phishing techniques is graymail. The problem: a seemingly innocuous 

marketing email may have an unsubscribe link that takes the recipient to a malware-infested website. Many of us 

click these links without a second thought. But instead of ridding ourselves of unwanted ema

ils, we’re actually 

opening ourselves up to an attack.
