Email communications are still the preferred channel for all communication. Email security breaches continue to impact organizations financially and operationally.
Email security protection costs continue to rise with the additional volume and complexity. Email-based threats and other cyber threats force mid-size organizations to spend more on infrastructure, managed services, and third-party incident response support. Organizations to continue to deal with several email attack vectors, including:
- Advanced email threats
- Business email compromise fraud
- Malicious emails containing ransomware malware
- Zero-day attack exploits
- Credential theft emails
- Email impersonation attacks
- Email-borne threats and phishing attacks across mobile devices also contribute to malware propagation with remote workers
The financial analysis below demonstrates the cost savings for midsize organizations leveraging Trustifi’s full email security suite combined with their email-managed detection and response (EMDR) services compared to a client using a multi-vendor solution needing to leverage internal IT and SecOps resources to manage the platform.
- Traditional Email Security Solution – multi-vendor with Internal resources – Cost per year $361,000
- Trustifi – Full solution email security with EMDR – Cost per year $118,000.00
*Savings of $243,000.00 per year
What are the critical pillars for email security?
Midsize organizations face continued challenges in the following for email security and protection:
- Unable to manage the exponentially increasing need for monitoring, response, and remediation of security events
- The need to consolidate platforms while reducing vendors and costs.
- Reducing human error in managing complex email security solutions.
Gartner’s analysts say that. With the rise of Business Email Compromise-type phishing, no secure email gateway (SEG) is 100% effective in blocking all attacks. This requires an additional email security solution for organizations. Ransomware, impersonation, and account takeover attacks are increasing.
Gartner clients increasingly express frustration with the operational complexity of the modern security stack, specifically the on-premise and cloud-based email security platforms. Given the human capital constraints to hiring and retaining qualified security teams, efficient cybersecurity remains out of reach for most organizations. As such, there is an increased desire to consolidate security products into multifunction solutions addressing a broad set of related challenges, such as securing “hybrid work” or “cloud workloads.”.
The financial impact on organizations supporting email security
Advanced email attacks have become more advanced and targeted; security architects often create a custom email security stack from multiple providers to protect against the evolving threat landscape. While this may help prevent malware and email account compromise attacks, it is expensive, complex, and difficult for an organization to manage effectively. Many multi-vendor solutions often lack proven interoperation and interconnect capabilities, including accessing standard APIs and data. More often, the newest email attacks circumvent traditional security controls, and legacy antivirus programs, causing damaging attacks.
Organizations facing increases in attacks across legacy and evolving vulnerabilities can not continue to deploy additional products or services to solve the problem. In time, the client will have so many devices and service layers that the entire security posture becomes unmanageable.
