The convenience and scalability of cloud email have become indispensable for modern organizations. Yet, this digital transformation also ushers in a new era of sophisticated and evolving threats, with a steady increase in advanced attacks like account takeovers and financially devastating business email compromise (BEC). These aren't just phishing attempts; they are highly targeted, intelligently crafted assaults designed to bypass traditional defenses, compromise your brand, and cripple operations.
In such a dynamic environment, relying on fragmented security solutions isn't effective and typically causes security gaps. It's no longer enough to simply filter spam; organizations need a comprehensive, cloud-scale email security platform that fortifies existing investments, is simple to deploy, and provides robust, end-to-end protection.
This is where the power of a unified platform truly shines. Imagine a solution that seamlessly integrates gateway-level prevention with supplemental, API-based post-delivery remediation. This isn't about adding more layers; it's about creating a single, intelligent ecosystem. Such a platform provides critical visibility and context that empowers security professionals to act swiftly and decisively. It means blocking threats before they reach the mailbox, monitoring internal communications for anomalies, and having the tools to remediate compromised emails even after they've landed.
