Why Are Less Than Half of Organizations Using Effective Email Security?
Email-related cyberattacks are flooding businesses daily. In a new study from Osterman Research, 89% of IT professionals said their organizations had experienced one or more successful email security breaches in the last 12 months. The number of email security breaches per year that organizations face has doubled since 2019, putting a huge strain on IT teams. Microsoft 365 credential compromise was behind 45% of email breaches studied, up by 49% in the last three years. Drilling deeper, ransomware attacks are up 74% and successful phishing attacks are up 41% in the same period. All in all, its a pretty dismal picture that illustrates the danger that businesses face in today’s risk landscape.

Effective Email Security is a Must-Have
But even with elevated risk, too many organizations are using ineffective tools to try and stem the tide of risk. Less than half of organizations reported that they can block the delivery of email threats, removing an essential email security tool from the IT team arsenal. That’s one reason why less than half of organizations rank their current email security solutions as effective. But with budgets tight, can companies really afford to make the switch to a new kind of email security, even if it will be significantly more effective? If they want to prevent security and compliance nightmares like a data breach or ransomware attack, they can’t afford not to.
5 Reasons Why Smart Companies Are Making the Switch to Automated Security
