Email Security

What Is Email Security?

Email security refers to all of the safeguards in place to keep an email account or service's content and access secure. It allows a person or organization to control who has access to one or more email addresses/accounts.

It helps companies in capturing critical data if their computer systems or networks are attacked. Tracks down cybercriminals from all over the world with ease. Aids in the safeguarding of the organization's funds and time. Allows you to retrieve, process, and interpret factual evidence in order to prove cybercrime in court.

The Importance of Email Security

According to Aspire Tech Research, 81% of malicious files are spread by email, with 1 in 239 email attachments and 1 in 415 email links being malicious.

Because many cyber attacks on businesses start with a bad email, relying on your built-in security could leave your business open to cybercriminals who are constantly exploiting the number one attack vector: human nature and a lack of strict security.

Email is an effective initial infection vector since almost every company utilizes it, and the ordinary employee, as we all know, receives a lot of them.

With over 90% of attacks beginning with a malicious email, securing your corporate email has become a must-have for any organization.

How Secure Is Email?

Because email is such a common tool that everyone in an organization uses it, it is a top danger vector. Once intercepted, it is in an open format that may be read on any device without decryption.

The recipient of an email does not receive it immediately. Instead, information travels between networks and servers, some of which are vulnerable and others which are not, before arriving in an inbox. Even if an individual's PC is protected from an attacker, the network or server via which the email must go may be compromised.

Cybercriminals can also easily impersonate a sender or change email information such as body copy, attachments, Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), or the sender's email address. Because each email has sections that provide metadata identifying information about the email, who it originated from, where it is headed, and so on, this is extremely simple for a hacker attacking an unsecured system.

If a hacker has access to this metadata and modifies it, the email will appear to have come from someone or somewhere it did not.

Types of Email Attacks

When it comes to hacking email, cyber criminals employ a variety of ways, some of which can do significant damage to an organization's data and/or reputation. Each of the following approaches can be used to install malware, which is malicious software designed to harm or manipulate a device or its data.

  • Phishing
  • Spam
  • Spoofing
