Results
SlashNext Email+ Security immediately increased the security footprint with a more robust next-gen solution and detected more multi-stage BEC and natural language attacks. The types of attacks included malicious emails, QR Code attacks, Smishing attacks, and other known attack vectors. SlashNext found a significantly high number of users targeted with threats at the school.
According to a recent FBI IC3 report, the average cost of each successful BEC attack is $124K per attack. At the University of Health Sciences & Pharmacy, the number of attacks caught by SlashNext saved potentially over $1.2 million dollars in the first year. SlashNext’s intuitive and easy-to-use console not only thwarted zero-hour phishing attacks, it also save security analysts over five hours per week to perform other critical security job functions.
“We looked at Abnormal, Proofpoint, and Mimecast. SlashNext Provided the Highest Detection and a Solid Price Point”
