What remains constant in the evolving cybersecurity landscape is emails being the primary vector for cyberattacks. While businesses have long relied on traditional email security tools—such as spam filters and basic firewalls—the nature of threats has evolved far beyond what these solutions were designed to detect.
Today, cybercriminals are using sophisticated tactics, often powered by artificial intelligence, to bypass conventional defences. And the result? More businesses are falling victim to phishing, data breaches, brand impersonation, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) than ever before.
The Reality of Today’s Cyber Threat Landscape
- 61% of malicious emails now include HTML attachments. These attachments can disguise harmful code or redirect users to phishing sites.
- Cybercriminals are now using AI to craft highly convincing phishing emails.
- Attackers are turning to QR codes to bypass traditional hyperlink scanning tools. These codes, often embedded in email images or documents, lead users to malicious websites.
- Business Email Compromise (BEC) is evolving. Instead of relying on attachments or links, many attackers now use pure social engineering—posing as a trusted executive or colleague to deceive employees into transferring funds or sharing sensitive data.
- Brand impersonation is on the rise, with hackers mimicking trusted companies to bait victims into clicking or replying.
