NoSpamProxy eliminates Emotet vulnerability in Office 365

, ,

In many cases, the banking Trojan Emotet reaches IT infrastructures via contaminated Office files containing so-called macros. A macro is a kind of mini-program that – if permission has been granted – executes a specific sequence of instructions. Cyber criminals have used macros to find a way to infect computers with emotet and other malware. Because they are often not needed, these macros can be prevented from running in Office 365, either manually or through Group Policy – if it weren’t for a glaring vulnerability in certain business versions of Office 365.eklatante Sicherheitslücke in bestimmten Business-Versionen von Office 365.

S/MIME Zertifikate

Secure e-mail communication with S/MIME certificates

, ,

Every email is vulnerable – theoretically. The journey of an email through the Internet is long, although the speed of transmission often makes this forget. Emails can be intercepted, read, or even modified during transportation. At least if they are sent unencrypted. The consequences may be devastating: Qinthe ancendatous damage, loss of data or loss of image are at risk for all those who exchange emails unencrypted. In addition, unencrypted emails are already no longer compatible with data protection – also with regard to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
