Why Forcepoint Email Security Cloud?
Today, email protection is significantly different than it was only a short time ago. Malicious threats used to be concealed primarily in attachments, but today Forcepoint Security Labs reports that 85% of unwanted email messages contain a link to a potentially malicious website. Securing email users against converged web and email threats requires email protection that is integrated with the best-in-class expertise that Forcepoint offers.
Forcepoint Email Security Cloud stops spam, virus, phishing, and other malware attacks before they reach your network, dramatically reducing email bandwidth and storage requirements. Because there is no hardware or software, business costs associated with installation, troubleshooting, and applying patches and upgrades are eliminated.
Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Intelligence continuously monitors worldwide email content for emerging threats, analyzing millions of requests a day, capturing millions of unsolicited spam, phishing, and exploit campaigns. ThreatSeeker feeds this intelligence to Forcepoint email, web, and data protection solutions, and to Forcepoint security analysts who apply the intelligence to quickly adapt Forcepoint solutions to manage the rapidly changing threat environment.
