Understanding email security: Safeguarding your digital communication. Fifty years after its invention and 30 years after its use became widespread, email remains an indispensable tool for communication. According to recent research, more than 350 billion email messages are sent every day—that’s nearly 40 per person, per day, for all 8 billion people on the planet. However, the widespread use of email also makes this form of communication a prime target for cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities for malicious purposes. Email inboxes contain so much sensitive information that they’ve become prime threat vectors for phishing attacks, ransomware infections, malware distribution, and data breaches.   That’s why email security is so essential. Its effectiveness, however, can vary widely—especially depending on the type of email service you use. And when the conversation about email security progresses from practical application to technical strategy, it can become one of the most

  Identifying Vulnerabilities and Risks to Keep Your Company Safe The cybersecurity landscape changes every day. New data hacks and information breaches impact millions of unsuspecting consumers. Fresh viruses and ransomware strains infiltrate our inboxes. Malicious web ads and fake security updates redirect everyday clicks to suspicious websites. Passwords are stolen, login credentials are compromised, and data backups are lost—and many of us never think twice about it, convinced that we’ll never be affected. Why do so many well-meaning people make so many cybersecurity mistakes, over and over again? Because most of us don’t know we’re exposing ourselves to digital danger—or we don’t understand the consequences of such actions. Until, of course, things go wrong and everyone asks, “How the heck did that happen?” That’s what makes cybersecurity assessments so important. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines cybersecurity assessments as tools “used to identify

  Text-Based Scheme Tries to Sneak Malicious Links Onto Mobile Devices Cybersecurity experts are raising alarms about “smishing,” a unique form of phishing that attempts to deliver malicious links or infected applications to cell phones via text or SMS messages. The challenge with these types of cyberattacks is that a text or SMS message cannot be authenticated beyond the phone number it’s sent from. Hackers have started using illicit tools that allow them to send legitimate-looking SMS messages from spoofed or stolen telephone numbers. A recent text-based scheme targeting Android devices purports to be from a delivery company like UPS or FedEx. When unsuspecting users click the supposed package tracking link included in the message, it automatically installs a malicious application that can steal banking credentials and other personal information. Adding to the challenge is the fact that text messages aren’t nearly as easy to track and prevent as, say, malicious emails. URL (Uniform R
