Email security remains a key productivity tool for today's organizations, as well as a successful attack vector for cyber criminals. According to the Verizon 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report, 49% of malware was installed via malicious email. Gartner asserts that "Advanced threats (such as ransomware and business email compromise) are easily the signature-based and reputation-based prevention mechanisms that a secure email gateway (SEG) has traditionally used."
