Secure Email Gateways were built for on-premises use and in that capacity they worked well.

But ask yourself: when was the last time your email was on-premises? It's been awhile. It's why one survey found that 93% of companies use some form of cloud email


If you use cloud-based email, you need a cloud-native email security solution. SEGs aren't made for the cloud, which is why they can't see insider threats, struggle against BECs, make default O365 and G-Suite security worse and miss phishing attacks

Companies are seeing the negative effects of this and are looking for something better. When they do a trial and POC with Avanan, they see the difference.

We've rounded up a number of our customers who were originally SEG clients and detailed why they switched to Avanan.
