Email Security: Top 5 FAQs Answered

Why is email security so important?

Email is the No. 1 way hackers try to steal data, spread malware, and launch phishing attacks. A single bad click can compromise your entire business. Strong email security keeps your inbox (and your info) safe.

What are the biggest email threats?

Watch out for:

  • Phishing – Fake emails tricking you into sharing sensitive info.
  • Malware & Ransomware – Harmful attachments that infect your system.
  • Business Email Compromise (BEC) – Cybercriminals impersonating executives to steal money or data.

How can I tell if an email is a scam?

Red flags include:

  • Spelling errors & weird formatting
  • Suspicious links or attachments
  • Urgent requests for money or personal details
  • Emails from unknown or slightly ‘off’ addresses (e.g., yourboss@company.co instead of @company.com)

What are the best ways to protect my email?

Security methods include:

  • Use strong passwords and change them regularly.
  • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an extra security layer.
  • Never click on suspicious links or attachments.
  • Use email filtering to block spam and malicious emails.
  • Encrypt sensitive emails to keep data safe.

What’s the best email security solution?

A combo of tools works best:

  • Secure email gateways filter out threats.
  • Anti-phishing & anti-malware software helps stop attacks.
  • Training your team reduces human error – the No. 1 security risk.
