Common email Security Threats

A large number of organisations are already transitioning to cloud-based solutions and according to recent research, “by 2021, Gartner expects 70% of public and private companies to be using cloud email services.”⁶ As services evolve so do attackers’ methods and the transition from on-premise to cloud solutions has seen a parallel transition by attackers with access to a user’s email account often granting access to a wide range of available services. This means that attackers may only need to steal one set of credentials to have a potent effect, which is clear from the marked increase in the number of attacks against cloud-based email services such as Microsoft Office 365.

A multilayer approach is crucial in strengthening an organisations’s security features and to keep an organization safe from email attacks.
