# Who do CISOs trust most for secure email gateway software, based on user reviews?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I'm pulling together notes on which <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/secure-email-gateway">secure email gateway</a> vendors security leaders trust most, based on what reviewers are actually reporting rather than marketing claims, since "trust" in this category tends to come down to consistency more than any one flashy feature.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/barracuda-email-gateway-defense"><strong>Barracuda Email Gateway Defense</strong></a> (4.2 stars, 39 reviews) earns trust for cutting through spam and phishing without needing constant oversight, with one security admin calling it a strong first line of defense that gives confidence risky messages get stopped before users ever see them.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/fortimail"><strong>FortiMail</strong></a> (4.3 stars, 25 reviews) is credited for its integration with FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence and sandboxing, giving security teams visibility across the wider Fortinet Security Fabric alongside granular policy controls.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/spamtitan-email-security"><strong>SpamTitan Email Security</strong></a> (4.5 stars, 199 reviews) shows up frequently for blocking a very high percentage of spam and malware as advertised, paired with a straightforward interface that IT teams can manage without heavy training.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Across all three, trust seems to come from doing the blocking job reliably day after day rather than any single standout capability.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Curious whether security leaders here weigh detection accuracy or ease of administration more heavily when a renewal decision actually comes up.</p>

Proofpoint Core Email Protection is the heavyweight here, heavily reviewed and highly rated, and it&#39;s generally the name CISOs default to for enterprise-grade secure email gateway protection against phishing, BEC, and account takeover.
