Armorblox Offers Free Email Protection Against Coronavirus Fraud and Other Socially Engineered Attacks
Summary
Recent weeks have seen a spike in socially engineered email attacks that steal money and data under the guise of providing updates on COVID-19. Armorblox will make its fully-featured email security platform free for businesses that have between 100 and 2,000 employees until April 30th and will reassess the situation for potential extensions beyond that. “Cybercriminals have attempted to hijack news cycles and online search patterns in the past, and that trend is sadly reappearing amid the fear and uncertainty driven by COVID-19. The emails claim to provide useful health information and include attachments that infect target systems with malware or steal account credentials. Organizations use Armorblox to deploy pre-configured policy actions that block suspicious emails, automate abuse mailbox remediation, and prevent outbound data loss.
