Year after year, phishing ranks as the top cyberattack vector. The reason why phishing attacks remain so popular with hackers is that they’re easy to implement and highly effective. Studies show that a staggering 30 percent of phishing emails are opened by their intended recipients. All it takes is just one click to cause significant financial and reputational damage to a brand.
But sometimes in order to raise awareness of a serious subject, you have to have some fun. With 50,000 people gathering in San Francisco this week for RSA Conference 2018, that’s exactly what we decided to do. We rewrote the lyrics to the Bruce Springsteen classic “Dancing in the Dark” and made it about phishing.
The message is simple: hackers are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks that easily bypass traditional reputation and signature-based technologies. In order to protect your mailboxes—and your business—your email security needs to evolve. We believe the answer is predictive email defense, powered by artificial intelligence and augmented with 24/7 human intelligence.
Enjoy the song!
Lyrics:
I get email in the evening
And it ain't got much to say
I click a link in the message
I type my login, it was stolen away
Then all my funds got wired
Now I’m just broke and mad at myself
Hey there Vade, I could use some filter help
You can't stop a phisher
You can't stop a phisher with just DMARC
Our catch rate’s higher
Even if they’re advancing in the dark
Inbox keeps getting clearer
Filter’s on and it blocks at record pace
I check my mail in a browser
I don’t see no spam, no scams, no trace
Man, I ain't getting malware
I'm no longer a chump like this
Those hackers are having nightmares
RSA, can you feel that bliss?
You can't stop a phisher
You can't stop a phisher with just DMARC
Our catch rate’s higher
You need to just glance at a benchmark
