Why Human Layer Security is the Missing Link in Enterprise Security

Email is every bit as crucial an environment to protect as the network and databases because, once compromised, there can be lasting, costly, and damaging effects. Leaning on built in security controls of email platforms or legacy technology are insufficient in providing comprehensive protection against human-related threats over email. Over 75% of firms report that 20% or more of email security incidents get past their existing security controls and they spend on average 600 hours a month in investigation and remediation. However, organizations that deploy Human Layer Security technology feel more prepared to face email security threats and data loss incidents (accidental, negligent, or malicious) with their current tool setup than those who don’t, demonstrating a higher level of maturity when it comes to their readiness to prevent these damaging threats. Human Layer Security is the missing link for today’s enterprise email security stacks. Forrester recommends that organizations consider human layer security to be used.
