Tech Talk Tuesday - Bryan Byrne - Mesh Security

There is no cost or commitment to have a demo or trial of the product, which lasts three weeks, after which you can convert to a month-to-month or an annual planner.
Tech Talk Tuesday - Bryan Byrne - Mesh Security
Q: Why is there a disconnect in email security often where products excel in spam filtering but not necessarily in phishing and vice-versa?
It often comes down to focus; if a company specializes in anti-phishing, they may not dedicate resources to spam filtering, leading to strengths in one area and weaknesses in another.
