Email Security
Protect your email in the cloud and on-premises
Email is the most common way for cyber criminals to launch and distribute threats. Advanced and zero-day threats are much more difficult to detect and stop than traditional malware, while standard signature-based antimalware tools have proven largely ineffective against them. Attackers now favor targeted spear phishing, especially in the form of business email compromise (BEC) scams. These elusive and dangerous targeted attacks use sophisticated methods including domain spoofing and obfuscation of malicious links embedded in email messages
According to the 2018 Symantec™ Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR), in 2017 one out of every 412 emails contained a malware attack, 7,710 organizations are hit by a Business Email Compromise Attack every month, and spear-phishing is the most widely used infection vector, being used by 71 percent of targeted attack groups. As the volume of these attacks has increased, so has the level of sophistication. The losses from these attacks now stands at $12.5bn and grew by 136% over 17 months.
On-premises messaging isn’t going away any time soon thanks to strict industry regulations, data sovereignty, and company mandates to retain complete control over email infrastructure. For many organizations, security solutions for on-premises email are just as important as they are for cloud-delivered email.
