2019 Trends, Challenges, and Benchmarks in Cloud Email Security

Key Findings:

• Every week, more than 1/3 of respondents have to do manual email remediation like PowerShell scripting, etc.
• Despite having at least two email security solutions already in place, half of respondents see advanced phishing threats (impersonations, wire transfers requests, W2 requests, malware, credential theft attempts, and more) reach their inboxes every week
• 1 in 5 respondents have experienced a breach (due to an email-borne attack) in the past three months.

This year’s survey findings (from 1000+ professionals) provide a better understanding of today's pervasive email-borne threats and how InfoSec and IT teams are defending this vulnerable, yet venerable communications platform.

Email security professionals need to be more vigilant as end-users are seeing more threats making their way to inboxes—25% more compared to last year.
