Enterprise Email Security Gateway, the cybersecurity capability that has protected the Department of Defense's email traffic for over a decade, has recently deployed improvements that both heighten security and improve user experience.
According to the Defense Information Systems Agency's Enterprise Email Security Gateway Program Office, nearly 90% of all network threats are borne from internet email traffic, putting the program office on the front line of protection for the department. As a solution, Enterprise Email Security Gateway analyzes about 1.6 billion emails monthly and stops more than 1 billion or 85% of network threats each month.
The remaining 15% are analyzed by integrated solutions capable of detecting advanced, persistent cybersecurity threats and zero-day threats. One such system is Zero Day Network Defense, which is used to detect zero-day email threats. Zero Day Network Defense expands on standard email security measures to conduct behavior-based analyses of any code that's embedded in an email.
"It's not just about what we know, but what we don't know," said Dr. Ryan Smith, DISA chief engineer, Defense Capabilities and Security Center, Cyber Security and Analytics Directorate, Perimeter Division.
