Email Security

Email is mission-critical; however, it suffers from mission-crippling vulnerabilities. It can be used to distribute a wide range of threats, including blended threats, spam, phishing, spyware, malware, inappropriate and legally compromising content, data leakage—and more. Despite that, its use and complexity continue to grow, and so does the need to adapt to evolving security risks.

What are the email threats that compromise network security? There are many:

• Blended Threats - Blended threats are difficult to detect and can compromise personal or corporate data, "recruit" computers into a network of bots, or record keystrokes to collect passwords and other information.
• Phishing - The increased use of e-commerce has seen phishing exploits increase sharply.
• Spam - Spam averages up to 4 cents (US) per message
• Spyware - Identifying spyware is complicated because it often comes bundled with legitimate programs.
• Viruses - Sudden impact viruses are being replaced by slow-burning varieties, which focus on avoiding detection and bypassing traditional AV software.
• Attacks - Email gateway security is one of the primary tools needed to help protect the network against attacks.
• Productivity Inhibitors - Organizations benefit from leveraging technology to maintain email as a business tool, not a distraction.
