Workspace Email: An ‘Open Door’ for Cyber Thieves Without Added Security Defenses

It is no secret that organizations are being forced to rapidly modernize their infrastructure and operations to accommodate the sudden increase in remote workers. As a result, more businesses than ever are moving to Google Workspace to fulfill their communication and collaboration needs in this ‘new reality’. Cybercriminals have taken note of this trend and are increasingly directing their attack campaigns at Google Workspace users, often leading to the compromise of sensitive credentials and confidential business information, fraudulent transfers resulting in significant financial loss, and the installation of destructive and costly malware on corporate systems.

Google Workspace offers some attractive benefits for businesses: the popular platform is stable, predictable, and user-friendly. However, Google is in the email business, not the email security business, and security is one critical area where Google Workspace comes up short. Built-in security features such as data encryption and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are a good start, but alone are not enough to safeguard the inbox against sophisticated modern threats like spear phishing, ransomware, and zero-day exploits. Despite built-in defenses, the FBI reports that 30% of phishing attempts make it through existing systems and are opened by target users.

Is ‘good enough’ protection actually good enough for your users, your critical data, and your reputation?

Email Threats are Rapidly Evolving - and Traditional Security Defenses Have
Fallen Behind

The email threat landscape is ever-changing. Threat actors are refining their methods and tactics, crafting increasingly targeted and sophisticated attack campaigns designed to gain access to sensitive information and steal large sums of money. Cybercriminals employ advanced fileless and payloadless techniques to evade detection and deceive users. Why should businesses rely on yesterday’s security defenses to detect and combat today’s threats?

Securing Workspace against persistent and emerging threats requires additional layers of innovative, threat-ready defenses designed to complement the primitive built-in security features provided by Google. You need advanced Workspace malware protection and Gmail phishing protection to secure your business, data, and employees.

In-depth defense is fundamental to securing cloud email. Guardian Digital recognizes that Workspace email demands additional protection to remain secure in this heightened digital threat environment, and has designed a threat-ready, all-in-one security suite that seamlessly integrates with the Workspace email infrastructure. Guardian Digital EnGarde Cloud Email Security fortifies Workspace email with advanced, adaptive security features designed specifically to fill the gaps in existing Gmail protection defenses.

Proactive Email Vigilance, Simplified Administration

Impersonation scams such as phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and email account compromise (EAC) are rampant in Workspace. In these attacks, malicious actors pose as reputable senders, aiming to trick users into sharing account credentials or downloading malware to their systems. To identify and block these dangerous scams, which often rely on malicious files or links, EnGarde Cloud Email Security scans all URLs and attachments in real-time to determine if they are malicious or safe, ensuring that only legitimate, secure mail reaches your inbox.

To defend against email spoofing and sender fraud, we implement layered email authentication protocols to verify the identity of the sender. EnGarde employs advanced techniques including behavior analysis and Artificial Intelligence, analyzing hundreds of thousands of attributes of every email that passes through its gateway in real-time - resulting in the detection and prevention of the most evasive exploits.

EnGarde’s SaaS cloud email security services offer quick and easy implementation, simplified management, no upfront capital costs for businesses and premium around-the-clock customer support. Our threat-ready, fully-supported solution frees valuable IT resources, equips you with invaluable security expertise and delivers a rapid return on investment (ROI).
