  • The emergence of the digital landscape has increased the significance of email as a pivotal communication tool. Yet, this ubiquity also makes email systems prime targets for cyberattacks. Integrated Cloud Email Security solutions are crafted to counteract these threats with advanced protective measures. The essence of Integrated Cloud Email Security solutions is highlighting their features, benefits, and distinctions from traditional solutions like secure email gateways (SEGs).
  • Additionally, in February 2024, Mimecast, an AI-powered Email Security solution provider, reported Spamming, Phishing, and malware were the significant contributors to email threats worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2023, which shows the demand for cloud-based email security solutions in the market.
  • Traditional email security measures and the default features of cloud-based email services mainly target common threats. They can effectively spot harmful content, including spam, malicious links, and counterfeit domains. However, these tools frequently struggle against advanced phishing tactics, notably business email compromise (BEC) and vendor email compromise (VEC). Distinct from standard phishing, these advanced attacks utilize "malicious intent" emails, employing text-based social engineering to trick recipients into revealing login credentials, disclosing confidential information, or approving fraudulent invoices, showing the market's requirement for cloud-based email security solutions.
  • The risk of information loss is among the key challenges that hamper the market’s growth globally. As more businesses increasingly migrate their email systems to the cloud, data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance concerns have increased. The perspective for information loss, whether through accidental deletion, unauthorized access, or sophisticated cyberattacks, poses a barrier to adopting these solutions.
  • The increasing adoption of digitalization strategy among the end-users to support their online business model, which has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, has raised the risk of e-mail-based cyber attacks in the market, which would drive business opportunities for the market vendors.
