Targeted email attacks pose a critical threat.
Targeted email attacks are on the rise, causing sleepless nights for IT administrators everywhere. Unlike threats from viruses and spam which cast a wide net, targeted email attacks focus on compromising the security of a specific organization in order to access information, steal money or wreak havoc. Phishing, spear-phishing, an advanced persistent threat or a zero day attack are some of the most common forms of targeted attacks.
Defending against these advanced threats requires superior email security.
