Email Under Attack: How to Defend Against Phishing and Malware
19 August 2025

Email is the most exploited attack channel. Around 96% of phishing attacks occur via email, making it the preferred vector for cybercriminals.

Every day, more than 3.4 billion malicious messages circulate, accounting for about 1.2% of all emails sent worldwide.

The weight of this threat is evident: 90% of data breaches originate from a phishing attack. Moreover, the same mechanism is also the main distribution vector for ransomware, responsible for 45% of incidents that lead to corporate data compromise.

 

Why this service

With 7n MANAGED mail security, we raise the security level: we deliver to companies an e-mail analysis service geographically distributed across Switzerland and managed end-to-end by the 7networks team, drastically reducing risks without overloading internal IT operations.

It blocks phishing, zero-day malware, identity theft, and spoofing through a multilayered approach, powered by semantic analysis and combined antivirus engines.

 

What it includes

  • Active defense against SPAM, phishing, zero-day malware, identity theft, and spoofingDifesa attiva contro SPAM, phishing, malware zero‑day, furti d’identità e spoofing
  • Geographically distributed cluster in Switzerland ensuring high availability and service continuity
  • Dual-engine antivirus and advanced scanning engine to enhance threat detection capability
  • Sandboxing of URLs and attachments for dynamic analysis before delivery
  • Content Disarm (CDR) to “clean” attachments from potentially dangerous components
  • Adaptive Trust Engine that adjusts sender and content trust over time
  • AI-powered semantic analysis to detect deceptive messages even when carefully crafted

 

Why “MANAGED”

It’s not (just) technology: it’s a fully managed service. 7networks takes care of setup, updates, policy optimization, and continuous evolution of defenses, integrating seamlessly into your on-premise, cloud, or hybrid ecosystem as your MSP partner. The goal is to remove complexity from day-to-day management while keeping e-mail protection at its highest level.

 

How it works in practice

Every message goes through a multilevel inspection pipeline: sender reputation and identity checks, attachment disarming, sandboxing of suspicious links and files, followed by an adaptive overall assessment before delivery. This approach reduces false negatives and prevents attacks, even new or targeted ones.

 

Benefits for the company

  • Risk reduction on one of the most targeted channels
  • Business continuity, thanks to an architecture distributed across Switzerland
  • Less IT burden: policies, updates, and tuning are managed by 7networks
