Mimecast
Security
Email remains the Number 1 attack vector with 91% of attacks starting with a phishing email.
Most common security systems use “known” threats to stop attacks. More attacks today are socially engineered to specifically target individual companies. Those attacks will unlikely be caught by “known” threats databases.
