DIGITAL ADOPTION AND IT’S IMPACT ON TRANSFORMATION
7 PagesThis Cisco whitepaper explains how near-real-time threat intelligence strengthens email security. Since no system is perfect, false negatives—malicious emails that bypass defenses—are inevitable. Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense (ETD) converts such events into learning opportunities using a context database and similarity detector. Emails are transformed into embedding vectors, enabling fast comparisons with past threats. As attackers modify campaigns, ETD assigns “maliciousness grades” based on similarity, blocking follow-up attempts before reaching users. Over time, the system evolves, reducing vulnerabilities and adapting as attackers change tactics.
