Email is a powerful instrument for sending messages anywhere, to anyone, so much so that it has become a universal tool of communication, both within and beyond the business environment. 

However, with the leading cause of security breaches today down to non-cyber related issues (i.e. human error), it’s vital for organizations to instil controls to offset identified risks at all stages of email management, including:

• Composition and transmission of email

• Understanding the context and sensitivity of content and recipient

• Encrypting sensitive data while it is being sent and while it is stored

• Applying controls such as revocation or retraction to prevent or mitigate data leakage
