1 report – 3 key findings from the Gartner Market Guide for Email Security:

  •  “As organizations continue to adopt cloud email systems there is a shift in communication beyond email to other collaboration platforms introducing threats that may not be protected by incumbent email security tools.”
  • “Impersonation and account takeover attacks via business email compromise (BEC) are increasing and causing direct financial loss, as users place too much trust in the identities associated with email, which is inherently vulnerable to deception and social engineering.” 
  •  “Vendor consolidation and integration of email security with other security tools (such as security service edge [SSE] and endpoint detection and response [EDR]) enable improved detection and response capabilities of security threats as part of an extended detection and response (XDR).”
