We download and transfer files everyday as a part of our digital communication. Yet, employees and users may sometimes be careless or oblivious to the threats that may hide in files. Adversaries are taking advantage of this behavior. They lure unsuspecting victims with persuasive offers for shortcuts in Microsoft Excel and urgent messages about overdue invoices. All the user needs to do is download or click a link to get started.
Moreover, users are accessing these files on the go and directly from the internet, bypassing security controls that your administrators have painstakingly put in place. Without analysis and threat protection in place for files, including those that are delivered using encrypted channels, organizations have high risk exposure and remain vulnerable to patient zero infections.
