Email Security Snapshot: Fast Facts About Modern Threats

Watch this short video to learn current trends and key issues in cloud email security, including how to protect your organization against modern threats.

Key Insights

Cloud email adoption expands an organization's attack surface, creating new vulnerabilities for threat actors to exploit.

Legacy secure email gateways lack the functionality to block socially-engineered attacks.

Behavioral AI platforms that learn from a unique email environment can block malicious messages before delivery.

When an organization adopts cloud email, it yields plenty of benefits—streamlined communication, enhanced collaboration, and increased innovation, to name a few. Unfortunately, it also expands that organization’s attack surface and creates additional vulnerabilities for threat actors to exploit.

At the recent GDS Security Digital Summit, one of Abnormal’s Sales Engineers, Laz Macias, hosted a presentation on current trends and key issues in cloud email security. From the inability of traditional rules-based security platforms to block socially-engineered attacks to the proven efficacy of Abnormal’s behavioral approach, Laz covered a lot of ground during his 10-minute session.

For a quick (but thorough) summary of the biggest email security challenges today’s CISOs are facing, watch the video below:

The Takeaway

Legacy technology like a secure email gateway (SEG) simply doesn’t have the functionality necessary to combat socially-engineered attacks. To protect your organization from the full spectrum of modern email attacks, you need a platform that learns from your unique email environment and blocks malicious messages before they can be delivered.
