There are many risks associated with email: just as it can distribute legitimate business communications, it can also send non-business related material such as malicious software, copyrighted material, spam, or content of an illegal, immoral or racist nature. It is also a very effective attack vector for criminals and fraudsters.

That is why it is essential to protect email: to avoid disrupting normal business operations and minimise any potential impact to your company’s bottom line. This white paper is in two parts: the first gives an overview of the key risks to email and the second provides guidance on how to protect against them.
