Introducing Multi-Vector Threat Protection: Correlated Intelligence, Complete Protection
We're excited to announce the general availability of Multi-Vector Threat Protection for Email Security Cloud Gateway customers with CyberGraph or Advanced BEC Protection. This enhanced capability represents a significant evolution in how we detect and stop sophisticated email attacks.
Why We Built This
Email security has evolved beyond single-threat detection. Today's attackers coordinate campaigns that combine phishing URLs, fake e-signature services, and human verification steps—exploiting the gaps between isolated security layers. While our multi-context analysis approach has proven effective at analyzing 2-3 key contexts, the modern threat landscape demands broader visibility. Sophisticated attacks now distribute malicious indicators across different threat surfaces to evade traditional detection, requiring a comprehensive approach that captures intelligence from every available source.
What We're Releasing
Multi-Vector Threat Protection expands our threat intelligence platform from select context sources to comprehensive platform-wide integration. The technology correlates signals from all available contexts including:
- Customer and Mimecast social graphs
- Anti-spam engines
- URL protection services
- Impersonation protection policies
Each context flags suspicious indicators—unknown senders, newly created domain spikes, freemail usage, human verification traps and more. Our platform then uses artificial intelligence to correlate these comprehensive signals, identifying the broader malicious intent that attackers try to hide across multiple attack vectors. Setup is straightforward through our AdCon interface, mirroring the ABEC-style policy creation you're already familiar with.
Here is an example from earlier this year :
How Customers Benefit
Improved Detection Efficacy - Detect sophisticated attacks that traditional single-point solutions miss by correlating signals from all available contexts, providing comprehensive coverage against coordinated threat campaigns.
Complete Threat Visibility - All Multi-Vector detections surface in Analysis & Response with a "Multi-Vector" sub-category, consolidating views across different security layers and enabling faster threat identification and response.
Future-Ready Defense - Stay ahead of emerging attack techniques through continuous correlation of global threat intelligence, protecting against AI-generated threats and zero-day campaigns that exploit gaps between traditional security tools.
Multi-Vector Threat Protection is now available in general availability for Email Security Cloud Gateway customers with CyberGraph or ABEC. To enable this policy, simply configure it through your AdCon interface—it's quick and easy to set up. Follow the steps in this article to learn how
