Cybersecurity is critical for all businesses and organizations today. In fact, the influence of digitalization on the smooth functioning of professionals is now of central importance and is positioned as a real lever for productivity and performance. In this context, it is necessary to ensure perfect security of your digital assets in order to work calmly and protect your information. Therefore, it is strategically important to identify any vulnerabilities in your IS and prioritize the measures that need to be implemented to limit your risk exposure.
The importance of electronic messaging in the functioning of the company
Despite its increasing power and the constant introduction of new digital tools, email continues to hold a special place in the way professionals communicate. Several hundred emails are exchanged by employees every day. These contain all kinds of information and often confidential data. The email channel is therefore one of the means of communication that must be secured with the greatest attention.
Email, a risk factor for the entire IS and the company
As already mentioned, electronic messaging is a strategic communication vector. Therefore, hackers who are aware of this fact are particularly active in trapping email users and breaking into the information system. In this context, numerous malware programs are created and phishing operations are launched every year. This puts messaging at high risk and exposes users to increasingly sophisticated intrusion attempts. Therefore, it is important to inform your teams about any practices that target them to prevent them from committing dangerous acts.
Protect upstream users
Although raising awareness is an important measure, it is far from enough. It is precisely at this point that the topic of the use of anti-spam technologies is a central point. Therefore, such an approach makes it possible to filter all messages received in advance and eliminate those that are unwanted or pose a risk. This gives the company peace of mind and security. Consider this point carefully and integrate such systems into your cybersecurity governance. In this context, it should be noted that antispam will continue to occupy a central place, as they continue to develop, particularly thanks to AI, and therefore become more and more efficient. When selecting your offer, also make sure to take sovereignty-related aspects into account.
The fight against spam, phishing and ransomware is therefore a central pillar that you should consider in your company. This way, you can avoid most of the threats that plague your business. Additionally, employees can increase their productivity and work comfort by only receiving legitimate emails. Make sure to prioritize anti-spam as a key governance issue in the company.
