Why does email need protection?

Email is the primary attack vector for cyber threats. Phishing, **malware** distribution, fraud, and data theft commonly arrive via email. The open, federated nature of email that makes it useful also makes it exploitable.

Business impact is significant: compromised accounts enable fraud, **malware** disrupts operations, data breaches create liability, and **phishing** damages customer trust. The financial cost of email-based attacks reaches billions annually across organizations worldwide.

Protection serves everyone: senders need protection from **impersonation** and infrastructure compromise, recipients need protection from malicious messages, and organizations need protection from liability and operational disruption. Email security is foundational to digital business.
