Your supply chain introduces significant risk

A single compromised vendor can result in a high proportion of their customers also becoming compromised, simply because the attacker was able to leverage their trusted relationship as an entry point and socially engineer their victims.

Email threats from compromised accounts have traditionally been hard to detect, but none more so than those from trusted suppliers and business partners. The native security in Microsoft 365 and secure email gateways (SEGs) struggle to detect phishing emails sent from trusted domains, leaving organizations exposed to account takeover, data exfiltration, and financial losses from fraudulent payments.

Detecting supply chain attacks

  • 1 Attack launched from a compromised account. The phishing email bypasses Microsoft 365 native security and the SEG as it originates from a trusted domain and the sender and recipient have an established and trusted relationship. In addition, anti-phishing solutions that rely heavily on social graph technology will continue to perceive the account as trusted and won't classify the email as suspicious.

Egress Defend provides deep analysis of all indicators of suspicion

  • 2 Linguistic analysis. Egress Defend uses natural language processing (NLP) to detect signs of financial information that, when combined with language indicative of repercussions, suggests financial phishing.
  • 3 Hijacked existing email chain. The attacker has hijacked an existing email chain that was likely leading to a payment request. This adds an air of authenticity to the email.
