“This ESRA report pointed out that
impersonation attacks continue to menace
all types of organisations, but I think the
real issue is that there are tens of thousands
of email-borne threats successfully able
to bypass the email security systems that
organisations have in place, effectively
leaving them vulnerable and putting a lot

of pressure on their employees to discern
malicious emails,” said Joshua Douglas,
Vice President of Threat Intelligence at
Mimecast. “Cybercriminals will always look
for new ways to bypass traditional defences
and fool users. This means the industry must
focus its efforts on investing in research
and development, unified integrations
and making it easier for users to be part of
security defences, driving resilience against
evolving attacks.”
Mimecast produces quarterly ESRA reports
to offer organisations insights on the rise of
new types of email-borne threats and key
trends in malicious email campaigns. n
