Why Secure Email Gateways Fall Short
Secure email gateways (SEGs) have been around for more than a decade. They're one of the most common types of email security solutions deployed on the perimeter to protect incoming and outgoing mail as well as filter out spam, phishing and other email-based malware from reaching email inboxes.

Where Secure Email Gateways Fall Short
Although SEGs have evolved their detection capabilities over time, there are still a number of reasons why this technology can fall short.
