Email security ② - Why is email security being questioned again now?

How can you protect your company from attackers who keep changing their methods and launching sophisticated attacks? New approaches are needed to combat multi-vector attacks, such as those that are executed in multiple stages.

Today's cyberattacks are carried out in stages from multiple attack vectors. In preparation for these attacks, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the attacks and the characteristics, motives, and techniques of the attackers behind them.

Organizational changes, new business acquisitions, and cloud migrations require email security that can adapt.
