We recognise the importance of protecting your business communications. Email security is one of the most important solutions within our managed cyber security services, protecting your organisation from phishing attacks and other types of cyber attacks.
Email is still the primary communication tool in the workplace, with more than 333 billion emails being sent and received worldwide every day. According to Microsoft, the average employee receives around 120 e-mails every day! The ease of sending e-mails makes it an attractive route for cyber criminals to launch compromise attacks, impersonation, malware, phishing campaigns, and a host of other methods to disrupt and steal valuable information from businesses. E-mail cyber attacks rely in part on human error, all it takes is one misguided click to compromise an entire organisation.
However, all is not lost! A mixture of education and awareness, effective cyber e-mail tools, and the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) can dramatically reduce both the risk and impact of e-mail based attacks. Mintivo can help you protect your business against this very common and increasingly effective method of cyber-attack.

Helping to keep employees up to date with the risks from e-mail cyber attacks is vital, helping them know when to be suspicious and as importantly, what to do if they have inadvertently clicked on a potentially dangerous link or downloaded a virus infected file.
In conjunction with training, a phishing simulation sends realistic e-mails to users, in order to judge their awareness of attacks and how to handle phishing e-mails. The information gathered helps to identify and address weaknesses, without compromising security.
A good spam filter and virus scanner will detect spam and potential cyber threats, preventing the e-mail from reaching the users, and alerting administrators to the potential attack.
Multi-Factor Authentication will help minimise loss, requiring additional layers of physical, and user-based security information to access critical data and systems. A good MFA solution makes it easier for valid users to access their systems, whilst helping to keep bad actors at bay.
Unfortunately, it only takes one rogue e-mail to cause a major cyber incident. Most companies underestimate the number of emails their employees get, and the variety of sources they come from. E-mail cyber-attacks affect everyone.
A spam filter is a good start, but it’s only part of the solution. Cyber criminals work hard to ensure that their e-mails will not be detected by this first line of defence. Having a filter that is an integral part of a larger security system, and is kept regularly updated, is vital.
Training can be done in many ways, long gone are the days of classroom only education. On-line, web based, and gamification techniques are now widely used to deliver effective training with the minimum of disruption.
There is no such thing as 100% protection in the world of cyber security. What we can promise is that we can help make you far more secure, and reduce the risk if something does go wrong.
