Cyveillance Wins 3rd Annual golden bridge Awards for Email Security
SEPA Solution Provides Rapid Detection and Protection Against Highly Targeted Socially Engineered Attacks
FAIRFAX, Va., August 23, 2011 – Cyveillance, a world leader in cyber intelligence, today announced that its Social Engineering Protection ApplianceTM (SEPA) earned the prestigious Golden Bridge Award for best email security. The Golden Bridge Awards are an annual industry and peers recognition program honoring the best companies in every major industry from large to small. Recognized for being the industry’s first security solution designed to detect highly targeted social engineering attacks, SEPA goes beyond currently available signature and malware detection technologies to examine email content and context, analyze real-time interaction with embedded web-links, access cloud-based intelligence, and leverage the cyber-footprint of the enterprise to detect targeted attacks.
Traditional email security inspects emails for known signatures and is optimized for stopping spam, mass phishing attacks, and infected attachments. SEPA works with traditional email gateway systems to add a critical additional layer of protection. Once an email has passed through the traditional email gateway, SEPA takes security one step further and inspects all email for indicators of social engineering attacks. Unlike existing enterprise security solutions that lack the key capability to effectively recognize a targeted, highly customized social engineering attack, SEPA is able to effectively examine the content and context of an email along with the methods and behavior of embedded Web page links to judge the trustworthiness of the email.
“We take great pride in supplying our customers with the best cyber intelligence available and believe that the leading edge capabilities that SEPA combines can greatly reduce organization’s risk from email based social engineered attacks.” said Dave Papas, Chief Operating Officer, Cyveillance. “To be recognized by the Golden Bridge Awards for our new SEPA product further validates our ability to innovate and provide critical actionable intelligence to our clients in a variety of solutions to meet their unique security needs.”
More than 40 judges from a broad spectrum of industry voices from around the world participated and their average scores determined the 2011 Golden Bridge Business Awards winners. The winners were announced during the awards dinner and presentation on August 10, 2011 in New York attended by the finalists, industry leaders, and judges.
