Phishing statistics show that malicious emails are the most common threat to an organization’s security. The consequences can be extremely harmful to your business.

Given the alarming statistics on phishing attacks, it’s clear that email security(new window) should be a top priority for your organization. Proton Mail makes it easier for teams to identify and report phishing emails thanks to a suite of technical innovations.
