June 26, 2024

We have all heard of victims of spam…. or unfortunately even fallen victim ourselves; promising you a free prize or telling you that there is an invoice that needs to be paid from a company you have never heard of. It is increasingly common and if you fail to recognise it, it could put you or your business at serious risk. However, in this installment of our spotlight series we highlight the perfect service available to help keep your inbox clean and keep the nasty emails out. 

An email filtering tool acts like a security guard for your inbox, it checks all the emails coming in; who they are from, where they are from, the contents of the email and more. It uses automated rules to run through all these things and blocks emails that contain threats such as phishing, malware, and ransomware. If the tool detects any of these threats it moves the email either to the spam folder or into a quarantine zone. The quarantine zone allows your IT administrator to examine the contents of the email and either learn about the threat or if it is a legitimate email release it into your inbox. 

Email filtering provides you peace of mind as it does all the work before the emails even reach you. It reduces the load on your inbox allowing you to worry less about email threats and email filtering can also help you with DLP (data loss prevention). It is designed to help businesses with complex workflows and can handle intricate processes and rules your business may have in place to prevent data loss. Most email filtering tools can be customised to comply with various regulations that a business may be subject to. This can be particularly important to businesses that deal with sensitive information such as finance and healthcare.  

In a world full of cyber-threats email filtering is the perfect product to have in your corner. It reduces the risk of data breaches and email threats allowing you to spend more time focused on meaningful work and not combing through your inbox trying to avoid the landmines that are phishing emails.
