Why You Need an Email Exploit Detection Engine: The Danger of Email Exploits
Overview Virus-writers are using increasingly complex and sophisticated techniques in their bid to circumvent anti-virus software and disseminate their viruses. A case in point was the notorious Nimda virus that used multiple methods to spread itself and was based on an exploit rather than on the virus/Trojan behavior that anti-virus products typically search for. Anti-virus software, though essential, cannot combat such threats alone; an email exploit detection tool is also necessary. This white paper explains what email exploits are, provides examples of common email exploits, and discusses why a non signature-based approach (i.e., not a virus engine) is needed to protect against email exploits.
