Cybercriminals are very clear about the fact that emails are the backbone of businesses, and that’s exactly why they keep targeting them. With the advent of artificial intelligence, it has become easier for them to send spoofing and phishing emails on behalf of reputable firms, impersonating their employees and CXOs.

Email was never actually built with keeping security in mind. Back in the day, it was just a medium of communication, and it operated on trust. This made it a vulnerable target for threat actors who started exploiting email for spoofing, phishing, and spam. Over the years, email threats evolved, triggering the need for authentication mechanisms to verify if the sender is actually who they are claiming to be and protect recipients.
