“This ESRA report pointed out that
impersonation attacks continue to
menace all types of organisations, but I
think the real issue is that there are tens
of thousands of email-borne threats
successfully able to bypass the email
security systems that organisations’ have
in place, effectively leaving them vulnerable
and putting a lot of pressure on their
employees to discern malicious emails,”
said Joshua Douglas, Vice President of
Threat Intelligence at Mimecast.
“Cybercriminals will always look for new ways
to bypass traditional defences and fool users.
“This means the industry must focus
their efforts on investing in research and
development, unified integrations and
making it easier for users to be part of
security defences, driving resilience against
evolving attacks.”
Mimecast produces quarterly ESRA reports
to offer organisations insights on the rise of
new types of email-borne threats and key
trends in malicious email campaigns. n
