Security vendor Mimecast has released its fourth annual State of Email Security report for 2020.
The report is filled with data about email security, but for those looking for action items Mimecast has provided a list of 10 takeaways that point out particular risks and provide IT security decision makers with some avenues to focus on in the coming months.
10 email security takeaways in Mimecast's 2020 report.
The report found that Office 365 was the preferred email provider for most SMBs, but only 22% said its security is sufficient, and 59% experienced downtime preventing them from accessing their cloud-based email.
Vendor aside, the report said organizations need to weigh the benefits of whether cloud services are worth the loss of control that comes with not being able to host your own local email server: Resiliency decreases, and you can't ultimately control the security of your cloud vendor's systems.
