Writing in the 2012 "Magic Quadrant for Secure Email Gateways," Gartner analysts Peter Firstbrook and Eric Ouellet note that, "Buyers should focus on strategic vendors, data loss prevention capability, encryption and better protection from targeted phishing attacks."
While spam volumes have declined, Gartner notes that targeted attacks against organizations represent an increasingly serious threat, noting that, "Better protection from targeted phishing attacks is the most critical new inbound protection capability (72% of respondents indicated that this was a very important capability), but only a few vendors have advanced the state of the art against these attacks."
