Alvaka’s Mailworx℠ Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Always know where your private or proprietary data resides—including intellectual property, personal identification, patient information, financial information, and more—so you can simplify discovery, and quickly evaluate the data in order to make an appropriate response to any issue.

Can your enterprise risk data loss?

As enterprise data grows, the risk of sensitive data being breached increases at an alarming pace. With data breaches making the headlines more than ever, organizations are forced to consider the safety of their data, the policies they have in place to protect it, and the strategies and tools at their disposal for breach mitigation. Small and medium enterprises need to remove the risk of wrong material leaving the company.

This includes proprietary material, offensive material, material not in compliance with government regulations or your own policies, or sensitive material addressed to the wrong person.

The best practice is to keep security and disclosure policy decisions out of the hands of individual end users. However, for various reasons, many organizations force end users to choose which content is appropriate to be sent out, and how and where to send it—too often resulting in the wrong choice and a non-compliant outcome.

Block Data Loss and Comply with Regulatory Policies

Alvaka’s Mailworx eliminates the risk inherent in individuals making security and disclosure policy decisions by implementing a user-transparent, centrally based, policy-driven data loss prevention filter.

Users simply send email, and the appropriate action is automatically taken. Always know where your private or proprietary data resides—including intellectual property, personal identification, patient information, financial information, and more—so you can simplify discovery, and quickly evaluate the data in order to make an appropriate response to any issue.

DLP Highlights

Advanced Protection with Alvaka’s Mailworx Attack Protection

Alvaka’s Mailworx spam filtering leverages the advanced power of Attack Protection, Alvaka’s Mailworx industry leading email analysis solution, to provide small to mid-sized enterprises with URL Defense, the only service that effectively detects, catches and analyses malicious URLs targeting this market.

Targeted email attacks containing malicious links represent one of the most dangerous IT threats facing enterprises today. Alvaka’s Mailworx Attack Protection is the industry’s first comprehensive email analysis solution for combatting targeted threats using a full lifecycle approach, monitoring suspicious messages containing malicious URLs or malicious attachments, and observing user clicks as they attempt to reach out. Mailworx spam filtering URL Defense feature takes a more advanced approach to identifying suspicious email messages containing malicious URLs. This helps small to mid-sized enterprises to add additional layers of security scrutiny that cannot be matched by traditional security solutions and gateways.

Advanced Malware Detection

Alvaka’s Mailworx spam filtering uses sophisticated techniques to evaluate advanced threats that are traditionally missed by signature-based and reputation-based solutions.

These techniques include:

• Malicious List Check – Check for emerging campaigns and known new malicious websites
• Code Analysis Check – Check for suspicious behavior, obfuscated scripts, malicious code snippets, and redirects to other malicious sites

Key Benefit: Cloud scale and elasticity for malware analysis with global and immediate benefit to all organizations for emerging campaigns, with proprietary technology to defeat malware through counter-evasion techniques.

Predictive Analysis

Alvaka’s Mailworx spam filtering uses Big Data techniques and machine learning heuristics to predictively determine what could likely be malicious and take pre-emptive steps before any user clicks on it.

It is achieved by:

• Modeling user’s email patterns and building behavioral history of that specific user to determine which email is suspicious and anomalous.
• Building Cloud based statistical model using history, Alexa ranking, IP block reputation, velocity of email sent from an originating IP, and a set of other criteria.
• Predicting malicious URLs with the help of real time scoring against this statistical model.

Key Benefit: Proactively identifies threats and minimizes clean-up for incident response teams by catching malicious URLs before users click and get infected.

Real-time Dynamic Analysis

Alvaka’s Mailworx spam filtering enables the solution to provide protection on any device, at any time, from any location, by following the email and checking for the URL destination’s safety in real-time. A frequent technique used by hackers has been to drive recipients to click on a link directing them to a website which is initially harmless but turns malicious after a period of time.

With this feature, users are still protected: whether they access the message from the corporate network, home network, mobile device, or a public network.

• Protects users and organizations on and off the corporate VPN across all devices including Mobile, Tablet and Laptops.
• Architected to help comply with existing corporate security controls and acceptable use policies by redirecting the user’s browser to safe destinations rather than acting like a proxy service.

Key Benefit: Enables security controls to persist, even if users are off the corporate network and bypassing on-premise security controls.
