There is still no way around it. Email security is still an essential part of protecting your organisation against modern attacks. However, the ways adversaries are exploiting this attack vector, and the way we’re protecting ourselves is constantly evolving. So, what can you do to protect your organisation against threats that make it to your users’ inboxes?
Join Proofpoint and mnemonic at Hotel Continental in Oslo on Wednesday the 12th of April to learn more about email as an attack vector in 2023.
We’ll share how we in mnemonic approach email security, both in terms of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and how it’s being used in incident analysis and response. We’ll also show what is actually working nowadays, and what we can learn from what the most successful (and unsuccessful) organisations are doing.

Email security in 2023 – has anything really changed? The first email was sent over 50 years ago, and email as we know it today has largely remained unchanged in 30 years. Yet email is still a top vector for both social manipulation and delivery of malware. How can that be? During this presentation, Jon-Finngard will talk about email and messaging as a platform. He will give insight into mnemonic’s views on email security, and recommendations on how email can be secured in 2023. Technical level: 2/5 |

Why existing email security tools aren’t enough to prevent modern attacks Few productivity tools are as critical to modern business as Microsoft 365. Unfortunately, the platform’s central role in the workplace also makes it a prime target for threat actors — and often, it’s their primary vector for compromising their victims. It's no wonder experts such as Gartner and Forrester recommend adding additional measures to your email, cloud and data security. During this presentation, Michael will go through a real case from a Norwegian customer that experiences this kind of an attack, and he will also talk about how you with better insights to your security layer will be able to protect your organisation.

How email analysis can improve threat detection and response Email continues to be a preferred attack vector in both opportunistic and targeted attacks, and is commonly one of many stages in advanced attacks. So, what value can defenders gain from analysing suspicious and malicious emails, and what role does it play in the overall detection and response process? In this session, we’ll go under the hood of our Argus platform to explore email analysis techniques, what we can learn from it, and how these findings are leveraged to improve threat detection and response.
