The Disconnect Between Understanding Email Threats and Preventing Them

Same old baloney. "I know I have a problem. I just don't know what to do about. So I will stick my head in the sand and hope it goes away ………."

Email continues to be the starting point for the majority of all security breaches. The 2018 Verizon Data Breaches Investigation Report (DBIR) says that email is the attack vector in 96% of breaches. But a new study suggests that despite these figures, companies are not allocating sufficient resources to reduce email risk.

Findings suggest that 80% of respondents are very concerned about their ability to counter the email threat, but only 29% are taking significant steps to counter the threat. The greatest concerns are that hackers might spoof their email domain "to hurt the deliverability of legitimate emails" (82%); the overall state of their current email security (80%); and that they could be hacked or infiltrated via a phishing email (69%).
