Email Security

Six billion emails are sent every day. Malware threats continue to grow in quantity and sophistication. Many of these threats can entail severe repercussions from a legal, technical and brand image perspective. It's no wonder businesses spend over $5 billion each year addressing email security. In light of evolving regulatory requirements, protecting, managing and securing business networks and information is a challenge for any organization.

As email becomes more prevalent in the market, the importance of email security becomes more significant. In particular, the security implications associated with the management of email policy enforcement, auditing, email archive and data recovery. Ensuring that your emails are protected requires routine investments in security technologies, dedicated IT resources and constant vigilance.

Managing large, active stores of information takes time and effort in order to avoid failures that will impact the users and therefore the business, undoubtedly leading to lost productivity. For secure and effective storage management, organizations must take a proactive approach and invest wisely in a comprehensive solution.

What is
Email Security?

Email security involves ensuring against the unauthorized interception of messages en route to a recipient and delivery of messages to unauthorized recipients. Unlike computer break-ins and other security problems, problems with email security are very hard to detect. Email security involves the maintenance of the following basic information security concepts:
Integrity: ensuring that your message has not had unauthorized alteration
Confidentiality: ensuring that no unauthorized person (or process) has viewed the content
Accountability: being able to prove who wrote the email
Availability: ensuring that the email can be sent/received
Non-repudability: being able to prove that the recipient really did receive it

But email security involves more than the email itself. It also involves:
• Ensuring that you neither receive nor send malware hidden within the email or any attachments
• Minimizing the receipt of spam, scams, phishing expeditions and illegal content
• Ensuring that staff neither accidentally nor with malicious intent allow or send confidential, sensitive or illegal content within or outside of the organization
