Securing assets and employees: Expanding Zero Trust with email security

In today’s digital and distributed workplace, phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and other targeted email attacks remain more frequent and dangerous than ever. According to the latest reports from the FBI, reported BEC losses have now surpassed $43B, and the agency received ~320,000 complaints on phishing and related attacks in 2021, a 35% increase from 2020 numbers and nearly triple 2019’s.
