Email Exploit Detection - A Revolutionary Way of Protecting Networks Against Current and Future Email Attacks
Overview An exploit uses known vulnerabilities in applications or operating systems to execute a program or code; it "Exploits" a feature of a program or the operating system for its own use, such as to execute arbitrary machine code, read/write files on the hard disk, or gain illicit access. An email exploit is an exploit embedded in an email that can be executed on the recipient's machine once the user opens or receives the email. This allows a hacker to bypass most firewalls and anti-virus products. GFI's new email security package; GFI MailSecurity for Exchange, includes a revolutionary email exploit engine. This first-of-its-kind module detects exploits embedded in emails and shields users against any current or future email viruses and attacks that use known exploits.
