AN EMAIL THREAT SIMULATOR FOR IDENTIFYING SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN EMAIL PROTECTION MECHANISMS

摘要

The present invention, email threat simulator (ETS), identifies security vulnerabilities in email servers and existing email protection mechanisms and automatically fix them to provide remediation services and regular testing of the technology environment. ETS is integrated with industry-leading lOCs and exploitation frameworks, as well as manual sources, to constantly maintain an up-to-date set of attack types. Using simulation logic, ETS generates an attack that sends more than 240 known and current attack vector types including ransomware, browser exploits, malicious code and attachments and file format exploits to the test mailbox and check their status. By this way, ETS allows to conduct real-world tests for cyber-security risks, instead of monitoring traffic between the server and client which is insufficient for antispam, antivirus and email services.
