Egress, a KnowBe4 company, the first provider of adaptive AI-enabled email security, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms. Egress has been recognized for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision in this report.  

We see a recent rise of advanced technology to address sophisticated inbound phishing attacks and behavior-led outbound data breaches has driven significant innovation in email security.  

Egress is proud to be a Leader in the first Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms. We believe Egress has architected an adaptive AI-enabled platform to detect the full spectrum of inbound and outbound threats. Egress believes we are recognized because of our:  

• Advanced AI-enabled detection to mitigate the full spectrum of threats
• Holistic understanding of human risk generated through deep per-user behavioral analytics and threat intelligence, used to deliver personalized security at the point of risk
• Offering the first adaptive security architecture for cloud email
• Delivering continuous behavioral-based training through real-time nudges

Egress’ positioning in the Magic Quadrant follows its acquisition earlier this year by KnowBe4, the world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management. Together, Egress and KnowBe4 provide customers with a seamless integration that leverages email threat intelligence to automate personalized training and phishing simulations based on real-time cybersecurity threats. By acquiring Egress, KnowBe4 will deliver a single AI-powered and adaptive human risk management platform.  

Commenting on the announcement, Egress CEO Tony Pepper stated: “We’re delighted to be named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms. Email is the primary threat vector for organizations globally and we feel Egress has played an influential role in bringing adaptive AI-enabled technology to the market to prevent a broader array of threats and deliver positive outcomes for customers.
