ABOUT THE WEBCAST:
Fugitive Profile
Directory harvest attacks, aka The Silent Killer, can strike swiftly and silently at your email servers at any time without you knowing until it's too late. Their goal is to probe your system looking to steal legitimate email addresses by bombarding your email system with thousands or even hundreds of thousands of messages. The fallout from these attacks can be devastating for Exchange Servers, producing thousands of "Non-Delivery Reports," overflowing deferral queues, and server performance
slowing to a crawl.
What to Watch For
At this webcast, you'll learn about the attack warning signs to watch out for such as:
- Sudden spikes in email volume and activity with no apparent explanation
- Deferral queues filled with NDRs
- New email boxes immediately filling with spam
- Message delays that stretch from several minutes up to an hour
- And server outages
What You'll Learn
You'll also learn how you can prevent this new "silent killer" from overloading your servers and stealing addresses from your email directory. Email expert Andrew Lochart will cover the following topics:
- Growth and current trends in directory harvest attacks
- How to identify the common characteristics of directory harvest attacks
- How to prevent these attacks from reaching your email gateway
- The advantages of a preemptive email security approach compared with conventional in-house content filtering.
- And more
