Human-Centric Cloud Email Security: Beyond Traditional Email Protection

Sponsored by
Overview
95% of successful cyberattacks begin with a single email, targeting the most unpredictable element in your security infrastructure, your people. While organisations invest heavily in perimeter defences and advanced threat detection, the human element remains the most exploited attack vector.
Most organisations still treat email security and human behaviour as separate challenges. While traditional spam filters and secure email gateways (SEGs) block known threats, they cannot address the sophisticated social engineering tactics specifically designed to exploit human psychology through email communication.
IDC, in partnership with KnowBe4, is delighted to invite you to an exclusive executive roundtable with senior IT and Security executives. Together, we’ll explore how forward-thinking leaders are transforming their approach to email security by tackling the human factor head-on.
Why Attend
Key takeaways:
- Gain insights into why traditional SEGs and M365 fall short against next-gen AI-powered email threats
- Be presented with executive frameworks for addressing C-Suite concerns around human risk and compliance
- Learn how to bridge the disconnect between email security technology and human behaviour
- Discuss new ideas on how to future-proof and enhance your M365 email security deployment to detect and prevent inbound and outbound threats
- Walk away with actionable strategies for building email security resilience through your people
