Fortinet is the Leader in Independent Testing Comparison of Secure Email Gateway Solutions for the Eighth Consecutive Test
"As the primarily method hackers use to infect enterprise networks with malware, email continues to be a critical security concern. The effectiveness of secure email gateway solutions is even more critical today as high-profile ransomware outbreaks continue to make headlines and impact businesses globally. As this latest round of testing continues to show, FortiMail solutions integrated within the Fortinet Security Fabric consistently deliver world-class enterprise email protection without impacting legitimate business communication."

- The VBSpam test was conducted over 19 days and consisted of 218,231 emails. Of these, 209,468 were spam with the remainder composed of legitimate emails and newsletters.
- Email continues to be one of the primary sources for introducing malware into a network environment. Email security appliances need to provide bidirectional inspection filtering without blocking access to legitimate email communications.
The First Line of Defense Against Email-Based Attacks
Email remains the number one delivery method for malware and Fortinet's Threat Landscape report shows that most ransomware infection attempts are perpetrated through this vector. Fortinet's Secure
Email Gateway, FortiMail, is integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric which enables the sharing of both global and local threat intelligence between FortiMail and the rest of Fortinet's Advanced Threat Protection framework including FortiSandbox. This unique approach can stop both existing and previously unseen threats the very first time they reach an organization or employee, preventing the loss of sensitive and confidential information.
