Email was not designed to be used the way it is today. Organisations rely on email for daily business communication and while most are protecting against low-level threats, more sophisticated email-based attacks are on the rise.
This NCC Group whitepaper highlights the overall risks that organisations face when using email services, with a focus on the techniques used by advanced threat actors and defensive solutions to a number of the vulnerabilities exploited.
Without going into too much technical detail, we discuss an overall security baseline which organisations should be aiming for relative to their email-based risks and the technologies that can be employed to mitigate these risks.
