Growth Opportunities in Email Security, Forecast to 2027

Renewed Attack Methods and Artificial Intelligence Technology Developments Propel Growth Potential

As the primary means of business communication, email is one of the main gateways for cybercrime and the primary vector of phishing attacks. Email can facilitate the spread of malware throughout an organization's network. Email security is a software platform that protects against malware and targeted cyberattacks, prevents access to inappropriate or unproductive content, and tracks and monitors communications for regulatory issues, compliance, and theft.

An email security solution inspects incoming emails for malicious threats and secures outbound email traffic through encryption. Cloud email security has become essential as many organizations move to a cloud or hybrid email platform. Providers increasingly deliver email security solutions as a cloud or software-as-a-service (SaaS) product.
