Libraesva are redefining email security with AI-driven solutions that protect organisations from evolving cyber threats. Their innovation in this space has earned them numerous awards, Virus Bulletin certifications, and recognition as an Innovation Leader in Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Email Security Radar.

In our FINAL episode of the series, Libraesva’s CTO, Rodolfo Saccani, continues the conversation, answering more key questions about AI-driven cybersecurity and the challenges organisations face today.

🔍 What security concerns should be addressed when developing an adaptive trust engine?

We are already seeing efforts to circumvent ATEs by exploiting legitimate services or the mailboxes of trusted parties. For ATEs to be able to comprehensively evaluate emails and identify potential evasion attempts,  they must integrate data from diverse sources, including other AI-powered systems.

🔍 How would you handle a situation where the trust engine mistakenly grants high trust to a malicious actor or device?

Our layered security approach provides comprehensive protection against evolving threats, meaning that even if one section mistakenly grants access, another layer will detect the threat. The ATE is just one component, but it plays a crucial role. By integrating input from multiple components, our system analyses the signals holistically through a final AI layer that detects discrepancies between various indicators.

This layer focuses on identifying attempts to bypass protections via legitimate services such as PayPal or Microsoft’s invoicing service to deliver technically legitimate emails that attackers can exploit by injecting malicious content. The goal is to catch these sophisticated threats before they reach the recipient’s inbox.

🔍 How can an adaptive trust engine handle an emerging threat or a new type of attack that wasn’t previously considered in its trust model?

Threat actors who are financially motivated and well-funded often have sophisticated skills that enable them to develop innovative attack techniques. To remain effective, any security system must not only detect known threats but also be equipped to evolve rapidly in response to new attack methodologies.

Developing a comprehensive early detection network to identify emerging threats has been a key driver for me and the rest of the company. I’ve been impressed by how dedicated our team of seasoned analysts are to staying at the forefront of threat intelligence and trying to get a step ahead where they can. We continuously monitor and analyse new attack techniques to keep abreast of the evolving threat landscape.

Because of this, we can rapidly deploy new versions of our engines in response to emerging threats in as little as five minutes. In the fight against security threats, this agility and dedication are key to ensuring safety for all our clients – no matter how sophisticated the attack is.
