The Role Of Automation In Protecting Email Systems
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, August 28th, 2024
Let's face it: emails nowadays are both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, emails are a simple, trustworthy communication tool that keeps everyone connected on a global scale.
On the other hand, emails have now become an easy target for every cybercriminal with an internet connection. Since we cannot physically guard our emails all the time, it is important for us to follow a layered approach like automation to keep our emails protected.
A Brief History of Email Security
Earlier, email security was only limited to keeping passwords, which we hoped would keep our systems secure all the time. Security measures at that time were more reactive than proactive, and every time we were hit by a virus, spam, or phishing attempt, we would scramble our way to fix the mess.
