What is email security?
Email security involves implementing security measures to protect email systems, messages, and attachments from various security threats, such as phishing attacks, malware, spam, and unauthorised access.
Why email security matters?
Emails are the gateway to your business’s most sensitive information. From financial details to confidential client communications, your inbox holds valuable data that needs to be protected. Without robust email security measures, your business is vulnerable to a range of threats, including:
- Phishing Attacks: Deceptive emails designed to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information.
- Malware & Ransomware: Malicious software that can infect your systems and disrupt operations.
- Data Breaches: Unauthorised access to confidential data that can lead to financial and reputational damage.

Frequently asked questions
Email security involves protecting your email communications from threats such as phishing, malware, and unauthorised access. It’s essential because emails are a common entry point for cyber attacks, which can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and damage to your business’s reputation.
To protect against phishing, implement robust email filtering to block malicious emails, use advanced threat detection tools to identify suspicious activity, and conduct regular security awareness training for employees. Training helps staff recognise and avoid phishing attempts, reducing the risk of falling victim to scams.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) are email authentication protocols that help prevent email spoofing and phishing. They work by verifying that emails claiming to be from your domain are legitimate, reducing the chances of attackers impersonating your business in phishing attempts.
- Email encryption secures your communications by encoding the content of your emails, making them unreadable to unauthorised parties. This ensures that sensitive information, such as financial data or personal details, is protected during transmission and can only be accessed by the intended recipient.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors, such as a password and a code sent to their mobile device, before accessing email accounts. MFA reduces the risk of unauthorised access, even if a password is compromised.
- Spam filtering helps protect your business by automatically blocking unwanted and potentially harmful emails from reaching your inbox. By filtering out spam, you reduce the risk of phishing attacks, malware, and other email-based threats that can disrupt your operations.
Threat detection tools monitor your email traffic for signs of suspicious activity, such as unusual login attempts, phishing links, or malware attachments. These tools help identify and block threats before they can cause harm, keeping your business’s communications secure.
Security awareness training educates your employees about common email threats, such as phishing and malware. By teaching staff how to recognise and respond to these threats, you reduce the likelihood of successful attacks, making your organisation more resilient against cyber threats.
Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, such as GDPR, involves using encryption to protect sensitive information, implementing DMARC/DKIM/SPF protocols to prevent spoofing, and providing security awareness training to your employees. Regularly reviewing and updating your email security practices helps maintain compliance and protects your business from regulatory penalties.
