Cyber&Go: The SME's ally against phishing

The human factor is one of the key pieces and problems when using corporate email, as it is the first filter to detect a fraud attempt that has gone unnoticed by the basic tools of an email manager. Coupled with the lack of cyber protection in the vast majority of SMEs, personnel become a vulnerability that needs to be corrected.

The biggest concern for SMEs is email attacks, with 70% admitting to having experienced one. However, only a fraction of them have the skills and knowledge to deal with this scenario. Cyber&Go comes in to raise that number as high as possible, offering solutions that require little effort.

What is the motivation?

La protección ante intentos de phishing y fraude mediante el correo electrónico es prácticamente inexistente en las pymes, a pesar de ser las grandes víctimas de este tipo de ciberdelincuencia.

Cyber&Go busca hacer accesible la ciberseguridad, reduciendo los ataques exitosos y ofreciendo una capa de protección que no requiere grandes esfuerzos por parte de la organización.

Program aims

  • Achieve an advanced level of real-time protection to prevent attacks from thriving.
  • To achieve an integration of the software into the daily life of the employees, without disturbing or distracting them, but still being useful.
  • Adopt the philosophy of prevention as opposed to lamenting the foreseeable consequences of not investing in cyber security.
  • Make cyber security accessible to everyone who needs it without incurring large costs or procedures.

Development

The process for solving these problems includes:

  • Development of intelligent software that integrates with the various email applications used in the corporate world in order to detect and prevent attacks in real time.
  • Analysis of the different elements that make up an email, such as images, text patterns and attachments, in order to identify phishing attempts or the introduction of malware on the device.
  • Analysis of user behaviour patterns in order to be able to instruct in the prevention of information leakage.

Results

Cyber&Go logra que la ciberseguridad sea accesible y cercana para las pymes, que son las que más sufren ataques y más consecuencias sienten tras los mismos.

Además, el modelo de negocio incorpora una funcionalidad poco común en otras soluciones: el análisis de patrones de los usuarios para guiarlos en buenas prácticas y reforzar la protección, sumando más control sobre los mismos vectores de entrada.

El enfoque analítico e integrado de Cyber&Go la posicionan como una gran alternativa para empresas más pequeñas que no pueden contar con un equipo de ciberseguridad exclusivo.
