Email is a primary channel for communication and collaboration in the workplace.
It also remains the top vector for cyberthreats.
According to Gartner’s Market Guide for Email Security 2023, approximately 70% of organizations use cloud-based email platforms, which lack the necessary security features to protect against advanced cyberthreats. While integrated, third-party email security solutions can secure these vulnerabilities, they make up only 5% of the marketplace. That leaves many organizations vulnerable to compromise.
Email security isn’t a binary measure—it’s not a matter of simply turning it on and being protected. Implementing a solution doesn’t necessarily limit your risk of compromise. Effective email security calls for adopting the right set of technologies and operational procedures for more complete protection.
