Guardian Digital Answers Common Email Security Questions

What components/characteristics should I look for when choosing an email security solution? How do these qualities make a solution effective at protecting against email-related threats?

An effective email security solution recognizes that the email threat landscape is anything but stagnant, and that email-related threats are constantly evolving to become more targeted and sophisticated, making them increasingly difficult to detect. Technologies like Machine Learning, Big Data and heuristics techniques should be used to identify both new and known threats. It is crucial to choose an email security provider that adheres to the latest security standards, which include implementing the highest level of encryption to protect sensitive information from unauthorized parties.

What are currently the most common and most serious email-related threats? How could these threats potentially affect my business?

Phishing, malware, ransomware, and spam email are some of today’s most serious and most prevalent email-related threats. Phishing attacks can result in significant financial damage, and can be very difficult to detect and stop. Spam is another serious threat that impacts all email users, and can result in a significant decrease in worker productivity. Malware and ransomware attacks can have catastrophic consequences for organizations. SMBs are the most popular targets for ransomware attacks and 60% shut down within 6 months of an attack.
