The Importance of Secure Email

Email remains the most common vector for cyberattacks, with phishing leading the charge as the primary tactic employed by cybercriminals. The rate of phishing attacks increased by 173% in 2023, resulting in billions of dollars in financial losses for businesses globally. These attacks often leverage social engineering techniques to deceive unsuspecting users into divulging sensitive information or executing malicious actions.

Are You Safe From These Email Cybercrime Tactics?

• Phishing Attacks: Phishing attacks impersonate legitimate entities or individuals to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details. These deceptive emails often mimic trusted sources, leading users to unwittingly click on malicious links or download harmful attachments.
• Spear Phishing: Spear phishing targets specific individuals or organizations, tailoring the attack to exploit their unique characteristics or relationships. By researching potential victims and crafting highly personalized messages, cybercriminals increase the likelihood of success and evade traditional security measures.
• Business Email Compromise (BEC): BEC attacks involve impersonating high-ranking executives or trusted partners to manipulate employees into authorizing fraudulent transactions or disclosing confidential information. These sophisticated schemes often bypass traditional email security measures, relying on social engineering tactics to deceive recipients.
