Cybersecurity Leaders Stressed Over Email Security
Security Boulevard, March 21st, 2023
Email is the most relied-on means of communication for businesses, but it also poses a significant risk due to the combined threats of inbound phishing attacks, human error and data exfiltration leading to outbound security incidents.
A report from Egress found 92% of organizations fell victim to successful phishing attacks in the last 12 months, and 91% of organizations admitted they have experienced email data loss.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, 99% of cybersecurity leaders surveyed confessed to being stressed about email security.
Jack Chapman, vice president of threat intelligence at Egress, explained that the stress of protecting and managing email systems is made even more difficult due to their complexity, including a combination of new and legacy technologies.
