We hope you enjoy these independent insights on the email security space. For example, the Gartner report’s recommendations for security and risk management professionals include:

  Invest in anti-phishing technology that can accurately detect BEC and account takeover attacks.

  Seek solutions for BEC protection that use AI to create a baseline for and detect communication patterns and conversation-style   anomalies. For account takeover attacks, seek solutions that use computer vision when reviewing suspect URLs.

  Address gaps in the advanced threat defense capabilities of incumbent secure email gateways (SEG) by either replacing them or supplementing them with complementary capabilities via API integration.

  Integrate email events into a broader XDR or SIEM/SOAR strategy.

If you’re planning a gap analysis to determine whether supplementation or replacement of your existing email security is required, request a free Phishing Risk Assessment from Area 1.
