Attack Vectors

Account Takeover (ATO) & Lateral Phishing

Whether the target is your business email or company’s bank accounts – account takeovers are on the rise. Sophisticated attackers understand that once they gain access to one of your employees’ credentials they can “land and expand,” causing unprecedented damages.

Until today, scanning internal emails was problematic and causing significant delays in email delivery or damaging the links/files. Perception Point’s technology solves these problems. Read how below.

Account Takeover (ATO) & Lateral Phishing Challenges

Today, once attackers get a foot in the door and obtain credentials for authenticated access to your mailbox, they can do whatever they like – literally! They can spread malware, deliver malicious links, and even obtain personal data or financial gains.

By neglecting the intradomain email space, companies remain exposed to sophisticated attackers that have already passed the front lines of defenses.

The Account Takeover (ATO) & Lateral Phishing Kill Chain

Step 1

Credential Theft

Intruder obtains legitimate log-in credentials of the targeted account via phishing, social-engineering, or any other collaboration channel.

Step 2

Reconnaissance and Weaponization

Intruder explores the email inbox to understand which communications the user has already been evolved in and look for an opportunity to take advantage of.

Step 3

Delivery

Intruder sends malicious emails to different employees in the organization, spreading files or URLs until another user takes the bait.

Step 4

Result

Intruder obtains confidential data or financial gains from wrongful actions of the targeted users.
