And 70% considered it likely (39%), extremely likely (26%) or even inevitable (5%) that an email-borne attack would damage their business sometime this year. Security professionals recognize the threat: According to Mimecast’s State of Email Security 2021 report (SOES), 81% of those surveyed worldwide said the volume of email at their organization has increased in the past year (as the pandemic pushed more remote work). As email grows even more important for business communications, spam remains a rising threat for organizations of all sizes. While enterprise messaging platforms like Google Workspace’s Gmail have built-in security, Mimecast research has shown that 11% of the emails Gmail lets through to users contain spam, malware or malicious attachments-or impersonate the brands that allegedly sent them. Yes, spam is often merely unsolicited ads from legitimate companies, but some of these email messages come from illegitimate senders, contain misinformation and/or are infected with malware.
Spam, the unsolicited and unwanted email junk that fills users’ inboxes, can be much worse than just a nuisance.
