WHAT IS LAYERED SECURITY?
Lay•ered Se•cur•i•ty (ˈlā-әrd si-ˈkyu̇r-ә-tē) n.
1. Combining two or more embedded engines, each
of which brings different detection benefits, to
enhance threat detection capabilities with the
objective being to significantly reduce the risk of
cybercrime, including malware, viruses, spam, and
phishing.
2. Aggregate threat detection feeds from multiple
sources, including other companies and other
internal feed sources, into one single threat detection
solution that can be delivered to customers

11. Spam Exposure by Detection Rate
© 2014 CYREN Confidential and Proprietary 11
THE KEY: RISK MITIGATION
Assumptions:
25,000,000 Emails/Day
18,750,000 Spam Emails/Day (75%)
98% Detection Rate:
18,375,000 Spam Emails Detected
375,000 Spam Emails Undetected
99% Detection Rate:
18,562,500 Spam Emails Detected
187,500 Spam Emails Undetected 0
400,000
350,000
300,000
250,000
200,000
150,000
100,000
50,000
98% Detection Rate 99% Detection Rate
With a 1% improvement in Detection Rate, exposure (risk) is reduced by 50%

LAYERED SECURITY: ANTI‐VIRUS EXAMPLE
Problems:
• Initial engine often missed malware ‐> long
wait times (typically up to one hour or more)
to get new dat files
• Unable to get bug fixes/enhancements
completed from their vendor in a timely
manner.
• No consultative support on how to optimize
security solution.
Solutions:
• Added a second anti‐virus engine
(CYREN) to improve detection rate –
capture more malware, reduce
risk/exposure to company and users.
• As a result of the second engine, they
improved their scanning
performance, reducing their
operational requirements.
• Qualitative benefit of additional
support, consulting services & bug
fixed/enhancements on a faster turn.
SERVICE PROVIDER (PREFERS ANONYMITY)
An alternative perspective to consider:
Another important goal for AntiVirus is to
be FAST & ACCURATE at scanning CLEAN
files also ‐ optimizing resources.

LAYERED SECURITY: ANTI‐SPAM EXAMPLE
INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (PREFERS ANONYMITY)
Problems:
• This company was not getting the detection
rates they desired with their first engine.
• They were searching for a company that could
integrate well with their infrastructure and
current solution.
• Looking for a dedicated outbound anti‐spam
solution
• They were looking to augment their email
solution with Virus Outbreak Detection (VOD)
and Anti‐Virus solutions
Solutions:
• Added a second anti‐spam engine
(CYREN) to improve detection rate –
capture more spam, reduce
risk/exposure to company and users.
• CYREN was easily integrated into
their infrastructure which is based on
the Bizanga MTA (now Cloudmark).
• CYREN’s solutions can be combined
for bullet proof solution: AS, AV &
VOD.

LAYERED SECURITY: URLF DATABASE + PHISHING FEEDS
RSA gets its phishing feeds from different
providers, and uses them in combination to set
security priorities. RSA uses CYREN’s phishing feed.
How CYREN’s Phishing Feed Works:
RSA’s PROCESS:
• An analyst reviews the high priority URLs,
and checks to confirm it is phishing.
• If a URL is confirmed as Phishing, RSA will:
1. Check if the URL belongs to one of
their customers and, if so, alert
them.
2. Use this data to sell their service to
new customers: they get this fresh
feed every 5 minutes. This is an
almost real‐time service that they
provide to their customers to
protect and notify them on new
possible attacks.
