Happy National Email Day! Time to Focus on Email Security

Today, on April 23, we’re celebrating National Email Day—a day to reflect on the importance of email in our daily business operations. It’s hard to imagine running a business without it! From sending proposals and invoices to collaborating with teammates, email is integral to how we communicate.

However, as much as we rely on email, it’s also one of the top targets for cybercriminals. Email security should be a top priority for every business to protect sensitive information and avoid costly attacks.

Why You Need to Focus on Email Security

Here are some of the biggest email threats to be aware of:

• Phishing Attacks: Cybercriminals craft fraudulent emails to steal personal and business information from unsuspecting employees.
• Malware and Ransomware: Dangerous attachments or links can quickly infect your systems and hold your data hostage.
• Business Email Compromise (BEC): Fraudsters impersonate employees or trusted vendors to approve fraudulent transactions.
