Neowin can’t vouch for this laptop in any way. We are simply reporting on the fact it looks like the specifications are good for the price.

On a personal note, I’ve recommended similar Gateway laptops from Walmart (i3, 8 GB, 250 GB SSD) and they run great, with minimal bloat. Most of the preinstalled apps consisted of a game on the desktop, Norton internet security, and Firefox.

Top Secure Email Gateway Solutions for 2021

/in


Email is typically the channel through which ransomware and malware are unleashed upon the enterprise. Phishing scams use it to compromise networks. Executives are conned by fake emails into sending funds to the wrong places – or worse, giving up their privileged credentials. Employees are duped into clicking on malicious email attachments and links.

A recent HP Wolf Security report found that email now accounts for 89% of all malware. The good news in that is that web and browser security are improving. The bad news is that email security is not.

That makes employee training a critically important defense – see our picks for the best employee cybersecurity awareness training tools.

What is a Secure Email Gateway?

Another critically important line of defense is a secure email gateway – and not surprisingly, analysts forecast double-digit growth for the secure email gateway market for years to come.

These gateways are either devices or software that monitor emails being sent and received. They spot unwanted traffic such as spam, phishing expeditions, malware, and scams.

Generally speaking, secure email gateways are a specialized form of email server that filters incoming and outgoing traffic. In some cases, in-depth analysis is done on outgoing messages to detect and block the transmission of sensitive data. Some gateways are hardware appliances or servers, some are software-based or virtual appliances, and others are cloud services.

Regardless of the mode of deployment, email gateways protect organizations against malware and ransomware by providing robust scanning layers to identify and reject emails that contain malicious payloads delivered either by URLs or attachments. Heuristics and behavioral analysis are often applied to enhance detection capabilities if no file signature is present. Files found to be containing malware are held and suspicious files can be passed to a cloud-based sandbox for full detonation.

Key Features of Secure Email Gateways

A good email gateway will contain most of the following features:

  • Identify and filter spam, viruses, phishing and malware from URLs or attachments
  • Scan inbound, outbound and internal emails
  • Look for authentication checks such…

Menlo Security Launches Industry-First Secure Web Gateway (SWG) with an Isolation Core for Mobile Devices | National

/in


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar 10, 2021–

Menlo Security, a leader in cloud security, today announced an industry first by extending its cloud-based Secure Web Gateway (SWG) to include web isolation for mobile devices. This new offering is designed to eliminate the threat of malware and phishing attacks when users are accessing the internet and email from their smartphones and tablets.

Mobile device usage continues to grow in the enterprise and the security risk has increased accordingly:

  • Browser vulnerabilities: Web browsers are increasingly being used to access new applications and cloud resources. This makes web browsers a significant target for attackers to exploit and gain a foothold in the enterprise. Recent research published by Menlo Labs showed how 83 percent of browsers were not patched within 30 days by enterprises after a Chrome update. Because mobile browsers are updated less frequently than desktop browsers, Menlo Labs anticipates the same problem with mobile devices. Two recent bugs fixed by Apple and Google on their web browsers that were actively exploited in the wild are leading indicators of the increasing focus on mobile browsers.
  • Phishing: According to industry research1, the surge in remote work has increased mobile phishing attacks by 37 percent globally and 66 percent in North America alone. The report found that unmitigated mobile phishing threats could cost organizations with 10,000 mobile devices as much as $35 million per incident, and up to $150 million for organizations with 50,000 mobile devices.
  • Malicious document download: Malicious file downloads on mobile devices are another area of risk. File-based threats are occurring with greater frequency and higher success rates as threat actors have continued to hone and adapt their social engineering and spear phishing skills to fit today’s trends, including the use of mobile browsers. Consider that hundreds of millions of users are now working remotely and relying on Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms and rich web apps to improve mobility and productivity. As a result, mission-critical files and documents increasingly live outside the corporate firewall,…

Secure Email Gateway: The Gaps That Could Cost You

/in


The email channel is one of the most essential components of effective corporate communication. Email is vital to keeping business flowing amongst colleagues, clients, vendors, and others. In  fact, the total number of business and consumer emails sent and received per day exceeded 293 billion in 2019. This is forecasted to grow to more than 347 billion by the end of 2023. 

That’s why it should come to no surprise that the email channel is one of the most leveraged threat vectors. The Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report notes that 94% of the time malware is delivered via email. Therefore, it’s imperative that organizations have a sophisticated security solution that is able to fully protect their email channel. 

The Three Major Security Gaps of Secure Email Gateway Solutions

Secure Email Gateways typically analyze all inbound emails for malicious content and, if an email is deemed safe, it is sent to the recipient. So, while Secure Email Gateways aim to prevent emails containing spam, phishing, malware or fraudulent content, they fall short in being able to protect against the plethora of other threats regularly targeting inboxes. And, there are additional disadvantages to Secure Email Gateway solutions that open enterprises up to further risk. 

Extremely advanced socially engineered attacks, such as the scenario with the Bank of America phishing attack, enable hackers to penetrate Secure Email Gateway protections. Here, the bad actors’ use of new and unique domains, along with refraining from the traditional “spray and pray” approach, allowed them to bypass being labeled as known bad or nefarious. Threat actors are continuously seeking ways to exploit such vulnerabilities within security solutions like Secure Email Gateway and evade the protective measures enterprises have in place. 

1. Secure Email Gateway relies on known malware signatures 

Unfortunately, new and unknown threats continue to proliferate. Every day, the AV-TEST Institute registers over 350,000 new malicious programs. These programs are unlikely to be found within the Secure Email Gateway’s database of malware signatures. Even if Secure Email Gateways are using dynamic threat…
