Test your Business Data Security with a Free IT Security Audit
There are currently around 1 million new versions of malware created every 24 hours across the globe. Although a high percentage of these reside on the Android platform and are activated through app downloads, many are still in the form of an email link. These phishing attacks are ever more cunning and plausible. You may have received or heard tell of links allegedly from your bank, from HMRC about your tax rebate and the usual Post Office and delivery company messages which are now modern classics.
Any business should have a staff education policy on email security as it is commonly user error that allows these malware and phishing attacks onto the network. A suitable and professionally installed business network and email security perimeter is essential of course but building big walls can only do so much especially if the people inside are inviting the “enemy” in albeit un intentionally.
Conversely for your outbound mail do you have a policy on what leaves your network? Are you 100% sure your email policy and data compliance on customer and business information is up to date and legal for your type of business? What is your policy on email archiving and end to end traceability?
It may be time for your organisation to consider managing your email in a more effective, secure and compliant way. Handing this essential part of your business to a specialist company often instantly improves your security, ensures you are compliant and also save you time and even money. Here at Keytech we offer a full range of email services and, as we are ISO 27001 accredited, we are qualified to provide guidance and consultancy for companies looking to develop their own policies. Who, how and whatever you decide, it is a worthwhile exercise reviewing and formalising your email policy, security and compliance.
