RPost RAPTOR AI powering next-gen email security with outbound threat detection and PRE-Crime intelligence

RPost Steps Into the Big Leagues with Next-Gen Email Security Innovation

RPost Named Among the Fourteen Globally Identified Email Security Players in the Gartner Magic Quadrant

Hey security friends - Rocky the raptor here, RPost’s sharp-eyed cybersecurity evangelist, swooping in with some breaking news on email security.

We at RPost are thrilled to share that Gartner has named RPost as one of just fourteen globally recognized Email Security Platform providers in the newly published Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security Platforms 2025 and the companion Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Email Security report.

But more important than where we landed is why we believe Gartner thinks we matter.

Gartner’s Message to Buyers (in our words): Layer Up. Look for Additive Security.

One of the clearest signals in the 2025 reports appears to be this:

No one email security provider can protect against all modern, AI-powered cybercriminal tactics.

Not trillion-dollar market-cap Microsoft. Not anyone 

Gartner is essentially (we believe) telling buyers: Whatever platform you’re using, enhance it with niche, additive security, especially against the emerging threats traditional systems can’t see.

This message, we believe, aligns perfectly with the story we’ve been sharing at Gartner CIO/CISO conferences from Scottsdale to Dubai:

Inbound and perimeter security alone are no longer enough.

Cybercriminals are shifting their reconnaissance outside your network, into your third, fourth, and Nth parties. The biggest BEC and VEC losses happen because the attacker has already learned exactly who is communicating with whom, when, and about what.

You can’t stop what you can’t see!

That’s why additive security is no longer optional; it’s essential.

And That’s Where RPost RAPTOR™ AI Comes In

RPost can act as your holistic email security platform or as the additive, preemptive layer Gartner, in our view, says every organization should be using.

Here’s the magic (quadrant) combination:

Inbound + Network Defense (from any vendor)

PLUS

RPost’s Outbound, Beyond-the-Endpoint PRE-Crime™ Reconnaissance Detection

That’s the “better together” we believe that Gartner is nudging buyers toward.

While other vendors focus on keeping the bad stuff out, RPost RAPTOR™ AI is focused on:

  • Identifying account takeovers and compromised inboxes at your partners (and inside your org and your partners’ partners orgs),
  • Detecting cybercriminals scanning your outbound emails for reconnaissance, even when your emails traverse inside third and fourth (and Nth) parties beyond your endpoints,
  • Seeing how your message or attachment is interacted with, even inside a compromised device beyond your endpoints,
  • And preempting BEC, ransomware, supplier fraud, and data exfiltration before the attack is launched.

In other words, RPost hunts threat actors in places your current tools can’t reach or see - outside your perimeter.

Gartner Appears to Reiterates What RPost Has Been Teaching 

At every Gartner event, we talk about cybercriminal tactics evolving into a reconnaissance-first strategy:

  • Threat actors infiltrate undersecured third-party inboxes.
  • They observe real conversations to craft hyper-contextual lures.
  • Then they deliver BEC, ransomware, VEC, or data exfiltration strikes with surgical precision.

Gartner appears to have captured this perfectly in their 2025 reports, validating the PRE Crime model RPost pioneered.

RPost: Two Decades of Innovation, Now Recognized Again

For more than twenty years, RMail® has served as a pioneer in email security, trusted globally across industries and governments.

This new Gartner Magic Quadrant recognition comes on the heels of:

  • Two Emerging Tech Impact Radar reports, naming RPost an early adopter, visionary, and leading innovator,
  • Growing adoption of RPost’s PRE-Crime™ cybersecurity,
  • And RAPTOR™ AI’s breakthroughs in identifying reconnaissance at third and fourth parties, the newest cyber battleground.

Final Word from Rocky

If you’re already using Microsoft, or any other platform and are happy with them — fantastic. Stick with them.

And then add RPost.

Because, as Gartner is telling the world (in our view): The future of email security is not “either/or.” 

It’s “better together.”

Inbound + Outbound.

Defensive + Preemptive.

Traditional + AI-infused.

Microsoft + RPost.

Better together.
