All email users are potential targets for cyber criminals. Any organization that uses email, regardless of location, industry, size, or any other factor, is at risk of suffering the consequences of a cyber attack. Without an email security plan and solution, every email user at any organization of any kind is vulnerable to cyber threats such as malware, phishing, spam, and data exfiltration.

Advanced email protection is a comprehensive, cloud-based enterprise-grade protection solution that guards email systems from a range of cyber attacks such as spam, viruses, and malware. As cyber threats constantly evolve, it's crucial for organizations of all sizes to implement advanced email protection and maintain a strong email threat defense posture.

Advanced email security products should provide organizations with:

• A secure email gateway to block spam, viruses, and malware.
• Scans of every email, attachment, and URL on every click to detect and prevent impersonation fraud, ransomware, whaling, phishing and spear-phishing attacks.
• Quarantine features to stop inadvertent and malicious leaks.
• Secure messaging for employees to share confidential and sensitive information without worrying about complex access keys or encryption methods.
• Large file send capabilities to send files that exceed mailbox restrictions.

• Email security utilizing AI, multi-faceted inspection services and sophisticated intelligence to stop BEC, spam and malware before they reach your users
• Targeted Threat Protection that scans every email, attachment and URL on every click to provide advanced threat protection from impersonation fraud, ransomware, whaling, phishing and spear-phishing attacks.
• Content Control and Data Leak Prevention that uses powerful scanning and quarantine features to stop inadvertent and malicious leaks at the gateway.
• Secure Messaging makes it easier for employees to share confidential and sensitive information without worrying about complex access keys or encryption methods.

While every organization requires some form of advanced email security, the needs of each organization can vary based on their own specific environment. When choosing which advanced email security solution to choose, the following should be considered:

• Advanced threat detection capabilities, including AI and real-time scanning for phishing email attempts, and malware to identify and block suspicious emails.
• Customizable controls to meet the needs of the organization and security team processes.
