For many of your clients, Q4 is the busiest time of year. While their employees are closing sales, balancing the books and creating strategic plans for 2023, cybercriminals are deploying a variety of ransomware attacks. According to the 1H 2022 FortiGuard Labs Threat Report, phishing continues to be the number-one attack vector for ransomware as cybercriminals infiltrate your customers’ email systems.

Research shows that 82 percent of breaches involve a human element, including social attacks, errors, and misuse. If your clients’ employees accidentally click on a malicious email, their current email security solution isn’t stopping these emails in the first place. Now is a great time to strengthen your clients’ email security. Here are three ways to get started.
