F-Secure ThreatShield is a gateway-level security solution for protecting email and web traffic, with built-in network sandboxing technology. It is designed specifically to protect against spam, ransomware, phishing, and advanced targeted attacks.

Email and web traffic are the most common attack vectors
Email and web traffic continue to be the most common attack vectors for commodity malware and phishing, in addition to targeted exploits and spear-phishing attacks.

• Over 75% of all legitimate websites contain unpatched vulnerabilities.
• 92% of attacks use email as an initial vector.
• 80% of attachments in spam emails were ransomware.
• 49% of non-POS malware was installed via malicious email.

Preventing commodity attacks and detecting the more advanced, targeted attacks via sandboxing early on at the gateway level is vastly more cost-efficient than on the endpoints. It is also much safer, as the host is never in contact with the attack in the first place.
