Perception Point is proud to be, once again, listed as a Representative Vendor for Integrated Email Security Solutions in Gartner’s 2020 Market Guide Report for Email Security. Being shortlisted by Gartner is strong evidence of Perception Point’s powerful technological capabilities, product offering, and commercial success.

In their in-depth report, Gartner analysts provide a comprehensive view of the evolving Email Security market and upcoming trends, including, most interestingly, the creation of a new threat vector – collaboration channels-based attacks.

According to Gartner, “Despite the growth in more targeted attacks through other vectors, email is still the most common channel for opportunistic and targeted attacks, as well as a significant source of data loss.” In other words, although sometimes considered a “managed” attack vector, email is still the biggest challenge CISOs and security experts face in 2020.

What are the key threats?

For the first time, Gartner added a new threat vector to the world of content-based attacks, now totaling four main threats:

  • Attachment-based: a file with a dropper or a malicious payload
  • URL-based: phishing or a link to an exploit
  • Text-based: social engineering, such as BEC
  • Collaboration Platforms / Cloud Office Systems (new) – creative, collaboration, communication, social, coordination, and data services, along with APIs that enable integration with other systems. These include cloud storage platforms, file sharing apps, instant-messaging solutions, and more.

How can you pick the right solution for you?

This report lists key features and focus areas that can be used to assess which solutions best fit your specific need. The key ones, in our mind, are detailed below:

  • Advanced threat detection for files and URLs, and texts, covering all vectors
  • Anti-Phishing Behavioral Conditioning – end-user training and reporting
  • Post-delivery protection
  • Integration – ability to connect via MX Record, API, or both
  • Deployment – ability to be deployed without interfering with existing email and content flow
  • Ability to test – options to conduct POC without creating significant overhead

 

Based on our experience, after comparing all the key features and “marketing materials”, the best way to choose the email security solution is direct and simple – head-to-head testing. This ensures you:

  • Can see for yourself the efficiency of the different solutions
  • Can compare results without data manipulations
  • Can understand which vendor is the best fit for your specific traffic

 

Perception Point is proud to be among the most reputable email security solutions in the market. Our solutions are being constantly tested vs. other market leaders, demonstrating improved detection and better user experience.
