Email remains the most common target for cybercriminals, with over 90% of attacks originating there. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, traditional security measures fall short, especially against advanced phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise. To counter these threats, Hornetsecurity offers AI-powered email security solutions, providing robust, proactive defences for businesses worldwide.

The rise of AI in cybersecurity

As cyber threats grow in complexity, the global AI cybersecurity market is projected to expand at a CAGR of over 20.8% through 2033. AI-driven cybersecurity can analyse vast amounts of data to detect and respond to threats more quickly and accurately than traditional methods. This efficiency leads to faster threat response and more effective risk mitigation. Over 50,000 organisations worldwide currently use Hornetsecurity's solutions, showcasing the demand for intelligent cybersecurity.

How Hornetsecurity's AI-powered tools strengthen email security

Hornetsecurity’s suite includes advanced tools for email security, data backup, and restoration, all powered by AI. Key features include:

  • Advanced Threat Protection (ATP): ATP adds a security layer by examining incoming emails for potential threats, including ransomware, spyware, and viruses. It effectively counters spear-phishing and forged invoices, which often bypass traditional filters. By continuously analysing threat patterns through AI and machine learning, ATP quickly identifies and neutralises new and emerging threats.
  • AI-Driven email encryption: Email encryption protects sensitive information during transmission, an increasingly critical feature as data protection regulations like GDPR demand higher security standards. Hornetsecurity’s AI-powered encryption is user-friendly, allowing secure email exchanges without disrupting workflows, ensuring compliance with data privacy.
  • Enhanced secure links protection: Secure Links, part of Hornetsecurity’s ATP, protects against malicious email links, a common phishing and malware vector. Using machine learning and deep learning, it inspects URL characteristics and uses AI-driven computer vision models to detect phishing indicators like logos and QR codes, embedded in emails. The new Secure Links feature includes an improved link decoder providing detailed insights into scanned links, a more intuitive interface, and enhanced scanning reliability via the securelinks.cloud-security.net domain.

Why email security is critical

As a primary communication tool, email remains a vulnerable entry point for cyberattacks like phishing, BEC, and ransomware. With the average cost of a data breach nearing $4.24 million, businesses must prioritise email security. Hornetsecurity's AI-driven solutions detect unusual patterns and predict potential threats, providing proactive, rather than reactive, defences. This approach not only protects sensitive data but also safeguards an organisation’s reputation and financial stability.
