How's Your Email Security?

With 94% of malware delivered by email last year, it is crucial to continually educate and inform your staff of the threats to watch out for, and how to identify potential social engineering attacks.

The lockdown has highlighted the importance of cybersecurity as an integrated business process, especially given the normalization of remote working. But while the focus has been on safeguarding employee devices, email security has fallen by the wayside. And yet, 95% of cyber attacks leverage email as an entry point into organizational back-end systems.

Perhaps even more concerning is that last year 94% of malware was delivered by email. Fast forward to the present and the dynamic challenges, and organisations can ill afford to neglect one of the most fundamental elements of their business.

But email defence entails more than just installing an anti-virus or firewall. It centers on increasing the business resilience against all forms of malware while still delivering business continuity and disaster recovery should the worst happen.
