EX PLATFORM

The FireEye EX series is a group of threat prevention platforms that protects against spear- phishing email attacks that bypass anti-spam and reputation-based technologies.

Spear- phishing attacks have soared in popularity with the availability of user-specific information on social networks and other Internet resources. With all of the personal information available online, a criminal can socially engineer almost any user into clicking a URL, or opening an attachment with a zero-day exploit, and the cybercriminal quickly gets control of a privileged system and user accounts.
