File-borne threats are underestimated but highly risky. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, the main entry point for enterprise malware delivery is Microsoft Office documents.

Traditional defences are no longer effective

Many common cybersecurity technologies such as anti-malware and anti-virus solutions can only detect known threats. They can’t detect or protect you from an undisclosed or zero-day attack, caused by a new vulnerability with no patch available.

In fact, 80% of successful breaches are new or unknown zero-day attacks that are not recognised by traditional detection solutions.

Cost of breaches increasing

The consequences of a malware attack are significant. Many companies suffer data loss, disruption of service, downtime, reputational damage, and revenue loss. Accenture reports the average cost of a malware attack on a company is $2.6 million, costing it an average of 50 days in lost time.

Content disarm and reconstruction

Content disarm and reconstruction technology can prevent file-borne cyber security threats from breaching your organisation’s network.

Martarna recommends Votiro, a secure file gateway, which eliminates threats from the widest possible range of files, no matter how they enter your company – via email, web browser or web applications.

Votiro’s three step process identifies and highlights non harmful parts of a file, replaces potentially harmful parts of the file with an identical clean template, then delivers a 100% secure file into your organisation.

Think of the many attachments your employees receive daily via email from known, trusted sources. These innocent looking files may still contain harmful malware which, if allowed to enter your system, can allow threat actors access to your network.

You won’t even know it’s there

Unlike other slow, time-consuming solutions, such as virus protection software which quarantines documents, preventing you from immediate access, the secure file gateway eliminates weaponised files without disrupting your business for even a single moment.
