Email is at the center of data security protection
Email security threats are among the greatest risks to data security protection today. Email is a central form of business communication, making it a prime target for attackers seeking access to sensitive data.
In addition to combating common threats like viruses and malware, data security protection today must also contend with advanced attacks like phishing, spear-phishing and whale phishing that use malicious links, weaponized attachments and social-engineering techniques to dupe users into unwittingly sharing credentials, divulging sensitive information or even transferring funds into fraudulent accounts.
To design and implement an effective plan for data security protection, organizations need secure email providers that can deliver comprehensive solutions for email security while also reducing cost and complexity.
