Email practices are one of the most vexing and pressing concerns for companies. Even though other media are now being adopted, email is still the primary method of business communication. Unfortunately, it also creates inefficiencies and presents tremendous cybersecurity risks.

Security Challenges

In addition to its primary use as a fast and inexpensive mode of communication, for too many companies, email has become a de facto and eternal data repository for employees who exploit its convenience and the absence of controls. As a result, valuable information assets often reside in email systems. Confidential, protected and proprietary information left in unencrypted inboxes, sent items and other folders pose serious potential security risks.
