Email-based attacks are on the rise – specifically an increase in phishing attacks, business email compromise, and email-delivered ransomware.
In fact some research shows up to 69% of ransomware attacks begin with an email.
So how can the much-hyped AI help as spear-phishing attacks become increasingly convincing and all email attacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication?
Correctly deployed AI technologies can:
Work in tandem with ML and deep learning models processing large volumes of data.
NLP analysing language-based threats.
And anomaly detection identifying deviations from baselines.

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is continuously developing ways to make procurement simpler for central government, local government and other public sector organisations.
One of those ways is the Technology Products & Associated Services (TePAS 2) framework. Whether you’re familiar with the framework or not, there are some advantages you might not have realised.
10 ways the framework benefit buyers
A comprehensive range of technology products and services to fit a variety of purchase models and business needs.
Simplifies the buyer experience, especially for SaaS requirements.
3 ways to buy: Further competition, direct award and catalogue
Sector-specific lots and suppliers.
Helps drive sustainability through end-to-end services for the lifecycle of technology products by working to the buy, upgrade, maintain and recycle principle.
No maximum call-off term.
Supply chain assurance through the CCS electronics watch affiliation which gives better transparency data regarding supply chain violations for modern slavery and rights infringement.
A variety of ways for you to get goods and services such as the leasing of goods, consumption models and as a service models, with guidance and support templates to support ease of use.
Social Value: Suppliers in compliance with the the Procurement Policy Note 06/20: ‘taking account of social value in the award of central government contracts’.
Carbon Reduction: Suppliers for this agreement have committed to comply with the Procurement Policy Note 06/21: ‘Taking account of Carbon Reduction Plans in the procurement of major government contracts’ as required. Our Carbon Reduction Plan can be found on this link as part of our Green Pledge.
And like a fine wine….
Since TePAS 2 was launched, the following improvements have also been made.
Expanded scope to encompass the full market offering to further improve upon our “one stop shop” framework strategy.
Sector-specific lots for health and education.
The new structure allows customers to easily combine more of their technology requirements into one agreement.

We’re all seeing what AI can do, and we’re at various stages of adoption. But cutting across the noise of the “concept”, how can AI tangibly make your business more secure?
Threat detection and intelligence are crucial functions of security. They overlap and feed each other, but they are separate entities with distinct functions. Incident response (IR) is another aspect, which will be discussed in a separate article.
So where is AI most powerful?
There are four big things going on in your threat detection and intelligence systems:
Predictive analytics: This operation attempts to predict future threats by analysing historical threat data using Machine Learning (ML) to learn from large datasets and identify complex patterns. GenAI contributes to predictive analytics by using historical and synthetic (fake) data to simulate future attack scenarios. This is useful for predicting future threat vectors and anticipating attack trends.
Behavioural analytics: This is like predictive analytics but is focused on user behavior. Unusual user behaviour may reveal potential threats that standard security protocols miss. Machine learning automates the data analysis and identifies anomalies that might indicate a security threat. These anomalies could be very subtle and easily missed in manual reviews. GenAI models normal and abnormal behaviors to improve the analysis and better distinguish between harmless and malicious activities. Behavioral analytics help detection systems identify insider threats and identify compromised accounts.
Anomaly detection: This component monitors the network for unusual patterns or behaviors that deviate from the norm. ML improves the system by learning from known data and adjusting to new types of anomalies over time. GenAI creates synthetic anomalies to improve detection models and make the system more resilient to new threats. Zero-day attacks and unusual login patterns might be detected here.
Pattern recognition: As you may expect, this identifies regular patterns or structures in data, which helps classify and detect known types of cyberthreats. Machine learning automates this process and improves the accuracy of recognition. GenAI creates new patterns of attack simulations to improve learning. This may be used to classify types of malware, identify threat actor relationships, or recognise spear-phishing campaigns.

Like many organisations, schools and colleges are looking to do more with less.
So when Brook Hill School originally purchased Cryoserver for compliance, it scored top marks when it also helped the school in a number of different ways!
Keeping the desk tidy!
The original “compelling event” was that the school had an incident where emails had been altered for personal benefit. To solve this, they needed a tamper-evident solution that archived emails and guaranteed they had not been altered by a user. Passing score so far!
Keeping teachers teaching and pupils learning
Brook Hill were also attracted to the stubbing and business continuity modules Cryoserver provides. Business continuity mode meant that they were prepared for any unexpected downtime, and attachment stubbing kept their storage costs to an absolute minimum. Between using the search to find lost emails and stubbing the database to reduce mail server strain, Cryoserver has become a well-used tool there. Moving towards the A-grades!
What eventually moved Cryoserver into straight A territory was the potential for end users to do a detailed search easily within their Outlook. The fact that the product integrates seamlessly with Outlook was really popular with their users.
Optimising Exchange
Aside from storage and compliance benefits, Brook Hill School have also been able to use Cryoserver to make the most of their Exchange system.
With the knowledge that all the email data is safely backed-up and easily accessible in the archive, Brook Hill have been able to set Exchange-level retention policies that move all emails from users’ inboxes into Cryoserver every 14 days. They have seen users kick bad habits, like keeping everything in their inbox or not saving attachments, and a general improvement in communication efficiency from school staff.

We recently ran an event in Glasgow where we looked at the challenge Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) present to DPOs and IT teams to access information promptly and efficiently.
During the session, Cryoserver outlined how their solutions act like a black box recorder on a flight in terms of enabling access to data whether for a DSAR or other data access requirement. With enterprise data becoming harder to manage than ever before, it’s vital to have a modern archive strategy in place for your business.
This document details how, with Cryoserver at its core, you can be confident that your email archive is compliant, every email is securely stored, and users can find the data they need in milliseconds.

Some things in life are best kept simple. But taking this approach with cyber security isn’t one of them, and a simplistic approach to password management can have undesired consequences for your business.
There are several understandable reasons passwords are the norm. For users, passwords are familiar, convenient, and easy to understand. For administrators, passwords are easy to implement, supported by existing infrastructure, require no new hardware, and cost nothing. As a result of those factors and others, nearly all the devices and services we use require password authentication.
When it comes to preventing data breaches with secure authentication, passwords can be a serious problem. That problem is seriously compounded by the fact that so many businesses still rely on them to provide secure access.
This article from Barracuda looks into how to reduce reliance on passwords to provide a much-needed security boost.
