# Email Security

## One Email Security Strategy with Flexible Deployment

Defend against phishing, ransomware, impersonation, spam, and data loss for cloud, on-premises, and private cloud email environments.

---

## Solution Overview

Email is a persistent entry point for phishing, ransomware, business email compromise, impersonation, and data leakage. Yet the right security architecture depends on where and how an organization operates its messaging environment. Some enterprises need cloud-delivered protection for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, while others must retain direct control of email security infrastructure because of regulatory, data-residency, architectural, or operational requirements.

Symantec™ Email Security gives organizations a consistent path to layered email protection across those models. Whether deployed as a cloud service or as a physical or virtual appliance, the portfolio helps block threats before delivery, protect sensitive outbound communications, improve visibility, and integrate email security into broader enterprise security and compliance programs.
