For more than 40 years, executives worldwide have turned to Gartner for insights and expert guidance on pressing issues that matter in the business world. Gartner has earned the trust of industry leaders with their sound advice, objective market analysis, and detailed performance reporting.
Published in October 2021, this Market Guide report shares key industry findings. We believe that many of these findings echo the same sentiments INKY has been regularly sharing on the rapidly increasing perils of ransomware, impersonation, account takeovers, social engineering, and more.
However, Gartner also shared this strategic planning assumption that we believe is right in line with the INKY product:
“By 2023, at least 40% of all organizations will use built-in protection capabilities from cloud email providers rather than a secure email gateway (SEG), up from 27% in 2020."
When speaking about the market, Gartner warns, “Email continues to be a significant attack vector for both malware and credential theft through phishing. An estimated 40% of ransomware attacks start through email.” The report urges businesses to “reevaluate the capabilities and effectiveness of <your company’s> current solution compared to new products.”1
Gartner also recommends, “Use email security solutions that include anti-phishing technology for business email compromise (BEC) protection that use AI to detect communication patterns and conversation-style anomalies, as well as computer vision for inspecting suspect URLs”. Gartner also recommends products that include “banners to help reinforce security awareness training”.1
Artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, and banners all happen to be in the INKY wheelhouse, and we are happy to be included in the guide.
