Symantec’s email security solution recognized
based on current offering, strategy, and market presence
Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ: SYMC), the world’s leading cyber
security company, today announced that it has been positioned as a
Leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Email Security, Q2
2019," a new report published by Forrester Research, Inc.
The Q2 2019 Forrester WaveTM report evaluated 12 select vendors
based on a comprehensive set of 32 evaluation criteria in the
categories of current offering, strategy, and market presence.
Based on these criteria, Symantec was recognized as a Leader.
Email remains an attractive target for cyber criminals –
Symantec’s annual Internet Security Threat Report found that 65
percent of targeted attacks started with a spear phishing email. As
email spreads across devices and into the cloud, enterprises are
struggling to develop a complete, integrated email security
solution using multiple point products that only address portions
of the email security problem and often fail to integrate across
security infrastructure.
According to the Forrester report, “Customers note Symantec’s
ease-of-use and customer support as strengths. The ECS [Email
Content Security] offering integrates with other parts of the
Symantec portfolio such as the web security offering, browser
isolation technology, and DLP solution.”
Email Security.cloud is an integral part of Symantec’s
Integrated Cyber Defense (ICD) Platform, which delivers
comprehensive protection — threat analysis, blocking, remediation,
and more —across web, endpoint, email, and cloud apps. Deep
integrations between products allow users to more safely migrate to
cloud email solutions, thwart business email compromise (BEC) and
credential theft, prevent data loss, protect against email fraud,
ransomware, and spear phishing attacks, detect and contain
intrusions, and more – all while reducing the cost and complexity
that comes with managing multiple point solutions.
“Email represents a unique challenge for the modern enterprise.
It’s both a mission-critical business application and the most
common way for cyber criminals to launch and distribute threats. In
our view, Forrester highlights the critical need to protect against
phishing, fraudulent email, malicious website links and data loss,”
said Patrick Gardner, senior vice president, email security,
Symantec. “We believe that we were recognized in large part due to
our integrated technology portfolio including email isolation,
email authentication, website security and DLP, combined with our
threat intelligence network to help protect users’ email
security across-the-board.”
Symantec email security solutions process more than 2.4 billion
emails each day, and are powered by Symantec’s Global Intelligence
Network, the world’s largest civilian threat network, which
utilizes telemetry from over 175 million endpoints, 80 million web
proxy users, and 57 million attack sensors in 157 countries.
