Cloudmark’s 2015 Q1 Global Threat Report
The Q1 threat report from Cloudmark covers the impacts seen 6 months after the enforcement of Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
Last year Canada implemented one of the strongest anti-spam laws in the world, CASL. We took a close look at the impact, and the results surprised us.
