Description

As the primary means of communication for business, email is one of the main gateways for cybercrime and the primary vector of phishing attacks. Email can facilitate the spread of malware throughout an organization’s network.

Email security is a software platform that serves the primary functions of protecting against malware and targeted cyberattacks, preventing access to inappropriate or unproductive content, tracking and monitoring communications for compliance, regulatory issues, and theft. An email security solution inspects incoming emails for malicious threats and secures outbound email traffic through encryption. Cloud email security has become essential as many organizations have moved to a cloud or hybrid email platform. Providers increasingly deliver email security products as a cloud or software-as-a-service product.

Competition in the email security market is increasingly fierce because of the constant threat landscape evolution. Vendors continue to innovate their offerings as more organizations discover the dire need for email security solutions and determine how they can fulfill their present and future security needs.
