The State of Email Security 2020

Global business is interspersed with a diversity of industrial sectors, united by a single, common communication thread that is key to any business: email connectivity.

At the close of 2019, many IT and IT security decision makers were planning to bolster their security posture with protections at the email gateway, within their organizations to protect employees and customers, and beyond their organizations’ four walls to uphold brand trust. These protections are still underway; in fact, they are more critical than ever.

At the same time, comprehensive data from Mimecast Threat Center indicates a severely negative impact to businesses in the first half of 2020, and experts predict we’ll see these attacks for months to come. Threat actors are relying heavily on impersonation and brand exploitation to take advantage of the uncertainty during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The usual email and web security defenses are no longer good enough; to prevent and protect your business against threat actors now and in the future, it’s critical to integrate security awareness training as well as to protect your online brand.

    Back Office Automation Starts with IT: Digitizing Financial Services with Low-Code Platforms

    Financial institutions today operate between three distinct worlds: the front-office, middle-office, and back-office. While each office is a vital part of the organization, the amount of investments for each could not be more unbalanced. The front-office receives a significant amount of resources, and understandably so, as financial institutions aim to keep up with consumer expectations and compete with fintech companies. Unfortunately, it means the middle- and back-office fall lower and lower on the priority list, leaving the IT team struggling with limited resources, staff, and budget.

    Securing Cloud environments: Five Data Encryption best practices to help reduce your risk

    From the perspectives of both data protection and regulatory compliance, it is just as critical to protect sensitive cloud-based data as it is on-premises data.

    SaaS Buyer’s Guide

    Finding the right cloud data management solution for your business can be difficult due to the number of potential vendors and seemingly similar offerings.
