- How fundamental email communications are in a business environment.
- The ever increasing danger posed by cyber threats, and how they are evolving.
- What unique features your Email Security Service must have.
In the end, companies will implement email security services, to prevent bad guys from infiltrating their email communications to harm their business and employees. As we already know the cyber-attacks neither slowing down, nor the use of email communications stop being so critical in business of all sizes.
1.
Email-based attacks will continue to rise: Year 2016 recorded the highest number of phishing attacks, and 2017 saw that number increased. Considering nothing surprising happened - no magic bullet in defense or downfall of attackers, the expectation is that we’ll be seeing more of the same, maybe even worse for 2018 and beyond.
We expect to see a plethora of attacks to continue - Phishing, Whaling, Business Email Compromise, CFO scamming, and many other labels for what made Email the most efficient and effective path for account compromise. All of these threats can result in ransom ware installation, document stealing, business disruption, and many other threats.

. The attacks will focus more on each company’s network of vendors and customers: Regardless of how protected a single organization may be, it is always highly dependent on its connections to its vendors, partners, and customers.
The level of interaction by email is very high, and this naturally comes with a degree of trust. And bad actors will use this to their own advantage. So, we should expect email attacks coming from sources we usually trust, such as someone posing as a vendor, a partner, the accountant company, or a customer.
The flip side will also be true. Therefore companies need to take the necessary precautions to prevent their network from being attacked. This is especially relevant with the Health, Real Estate, and Financial Sectors - email communications in these industries usually involve access to money or to medical records.
3.
Email authentication will become a standard: For the reason above, we will likely see an increase in mandatory authentications when accepting an email to be delivered.
