“Q1 2020 Email Security Service Protection SE Labs tests a variety of email filtering services to judge which are the most effective. Each service is exposed to the same threats at the same time. The threats are an equal mixture of commodity, social engineering, phishing, malware and legitimate samples. The malicious samples contained within the test are all generated from commodity samples discovered independently by SE Labs, thereby ensuring that they reflect reality to the highest degree. The legitimate samples are all generated in-house and are designed to be demonstrably benign. The resulting test reports show how effective each Test Subject Vendor’s products are at detecting malicious samples while still allowing through legitimate ones”
