Which attack vector is protected by Email Security?

Email Security solutions protect endpoints by inspecting inbound and outbound email messages for malware attachments, phishing links, and malicious content before they can execute on endpoint devices. Email is one of the primary delivery mechanisms for endpoint-targeting threats such as ransomware and spyware. By filtering at the email gateway, the solution prevents email-delivered payloads from ever reaching the endpoint.

Voicemail is a separate attack vector addressed by unified communications security tools, not email security gateways.

Mobile device threats are addressed by mobile device management and mobile threat defense solutions, not email security appliances.

Web-based attack vectors are handled by web security proxies and secure web gateways, not email security products.
