Why You Need Email Security
Email security is a necessity for today’s businesses. Organizations must protect sensitive data and intellectual property from unauthorized access, loss, or becoming fully compromised. Email is a primary communication channel for all businesses, and it is often used to transmit confidential information such as customer data, financial information, and intellectual property. Secure email services can not only help to protect this information from cyber threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware, it will provide you with full control over your environment.
With Cyber attacks getting more complex and sophisticated, email security will help to mitigate:
Phishing:
Phishing is a type of social attack where cybercriminals send fraudulent emails that appear to be from a legitimate source. Phishing attacks can trick the recipient into clicking on a malicious link or even downloading an infected file, which can then install malware or ransomware on the recipient’s computer or the enter network.
Spam:
Spam is unsolicited email sent in bulk to a large number of recipients. Spam can be used to spread ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, or other malicious content.
Data breaches:
A data breach is an incident in which sensitive or confidential data is exposed to unauthorized individuals. Data breaches can occur through a variety of means, including email hacking, phishing attacks, and malware infections.
