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
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.
