Customer reference interviews in 2023 and 2025 and data in Forrester’s 2024 security survey confirm that enterprises no longer rely on one EM&CS solution to protect the organization from malicious content. A layered approach — typically native capabilities from productivity suite providers and an additional solution — is now the norm. Additionally, tighter bidirectional data sharing with detection and response tools is now expected. EM&CS solution vendors must meet current or prospective customers where they are and offer easy integrations with other tools within their security tech stacks.
