At-a-Glance
Protect Your Business from Email-Based Attacks
Email is a critical business communication tool, but it can expose daunting 
threats. The average cost of a security breach is $4.5 million, according to the 
Radicati Group’s “Email Statistics Report, 2012–2016.” And email gateways 
are the number one threat vector for a security breach. Sophisticated and 
highly targeted attacks use personal information and social engineering tactics 
to deceive users and direct them to malicious sites serving up malware.

Today’s email-based threats demand a dedicated array of resources, 
technologies, and expertise to safeguard systems against existing and evolving 
attacks. Cisco® Email Security Appliance (ESA) answers the call by staying one 
step ahead of these advanced threats to keep your inbox highly secure.
This all-in-one appliance defends against spam, advanced malware, phishing, 
and data loss. Our Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) feature, available 
with a simple add-on license, provides continuous protection before, during, 
and after an attack - by blocking threats, mitigating the scope of an attack, 
and remediating it quickly. And the AMP system, along with the Threat Grid 
appliance, can now be deployed completely on premises with the AMP 
private cloud license. This is important for customers who have stringent 
policy requirements that do not allow for use of the AMP public cloud.
