A larger percentage of serious data security breaches come from within the company than from outside. Some are deliberate – unhappy employees about to leave the company may want to sabotage you, or steal information they could use when they join a competitor – while others are unintentional, like employees’ carelessness in handling company information or ignorance in protecting themselves when they are online.
Either way, they can put your network and the data in your servers and PCs at risk. That can result in lost productivity and even financial loss.
Businesses today have no time for downtime.
That’s why it’s important to have a strategy in place where people in your organization are most exposed to security threats – e-mail. Not a day passes when an e-mail user does not encounter spam, scams, hoaxes, phishing mail or malware disguised as e-mail attachments.
This e-guide helps you lay a firm foundation for e-mail security, apply the relevant standards and policies, and use the right tools and technologies to protect your employees and your business information.
Armed with the information and tips within these pages, you can also test yourselves through the quizzes and exams (answers in the last few pages help you grade your level of knowledge and competence).
