Lots of companies rely on their current solutions for email security like Microsoft for example, and are not aware what the difference is when using a dedicated emails security vendors solution. Take it for a test via us next to your current used solution to see and feel the difference. Let people work as they should not be afraid of is this a phishing email from my IT department or a hacker.
Email security
Email security encompasses the strategies and technologies employed to safeguard email communications from unauthorized access, data breaches, and various cyber threats. Given the integral role of email in both personal and professional settings, ensuring its security is paramount to protect sensitive information and maintain communication integrity.
Common Email Threats
Phishing attacks are a prevalent threat, where malicious actors impersonate trustworthy entities to deceive recipients into revealing confidential information or installing malware. These deceptive emails often appear legitimate, making them challenging to identify. Another significant concern is malware dissemination through malicious attachments or links, which can compromise systems and data. Additionally, human errors, such as sending emails to unintended recipients or misusing Cc and Bcc fields, can lead to data leaks and exposure of confidential information.
Best Practices for Email Security
Implementing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) has become a leading trend in the email encryption market, offering the highest level of security for email communications. E2EE ensures that messages are encrypted on the sender’s device and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient, preventing unauthorized access. With the increasing focus on data privacy and security, companies are adopting E2EE solutions to protect their sensitive information from cyber threats.
Utilizing strong passwords is one of the best ways to protect your email accounts and the private data within them from hackers. Here are some ways to maintain a high security standard regarding passwords:
- Avoid using obvious personal information or common words.
- Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Ensure passwords are at least 10 characters long (experts recommend 14-16).
However, considering the number of online accounts (both personal and work-related) we all use, creating and then remembering about 20 complex passwords can be quite challenging. This is where password management tools can be incredibly useful. These tools can generate unique, extremely hard-to-crack passwords for each application and then store them in their database – users then only need to remember one “master password” to unlock the database.
Emerging Trends in Email Security
Zero-trust email security is an emerging cybersecurity trend. Companies recognize its importance in monitoring activities and verifying identities. The idea behind zero trust is that you cannot trust anyone, inside or outside the company. Unlike models that assume trust within a network. This approach emphasizes protocols for verifying identities before granting access to email resources. It is used within an email security framework. It includes measures such as access control and multi-factor authentication (MFA). It also involves careful monitoring of user behavior. Adopting this stance helps reduce the risks of data breaches and unauthorized access, thereby making it a notable trend in cybersecurity.
DMARC is an email security protocol that once implemented will protect your domain against email impersonation and phishing.
It works by checking the authentication results of two protocols: SPF and DKIM.
A common misconception is that traditional email security products protect against email impersonation – they don’t.
DMARC is a natural partner to these solutions.
- Complete visibility into your email environment
- Step by step configuration instructions (SPF/DKIM)
- Support to take you to full DMARC protection
- Tools to make the journey to the DMARC reject policy fast and straightforward
Additional Advantage; Dynamic SPF (Break the 10 lookup limit and manage everything directly from your account)
If you like to see your status on DMARC and SPF we can show it to you within a minut. Drop us an email to [email protected] and we will send you the results for free.
We offer DMARC with correct DKIM and unlimited SPF to solve your problems and receive proper reports starting from 25 euro per month within our MSSP offering. Take it for a test and save time you spend on making sure your email shows proper domain credentials that receiving companies can trust. Don’t end up in the SPAM folder and make a difference.
