Secure Email for Home Office
Is Your Home Office at Risk?
Secure Email for Home Office is crucial for security and protection. However, email can also be a security risk. With the amount of email traffic, a home office or business receives, email threats such as phishing are a great concern. Phishing occurs when a user of a computer opens a file or even a link to a website that installs a virus on the user’s computer. A phishing virus will track keystrokes, web history, and more. The information collected, such as passwords, credit card, and bank account info as well as Social Security Numbers, is sent to the originator of the phishing email and subsequently used criminally.
Phishing isn’t the only concern, however. Many viruses and browser hijackers are sent through email as well. Viruses can cause significant and costly harm to your computer systems often corrupting or outright destroying valuable data such as personnel records, databases, videos images, and more. Browser hijackers take control of your web browser, removing control over what your home page is, what search engines you can use, and even where you can go on the internet(often places you would never want to visit).
Finally, there is spam. Spam encompasses the previously mentioned items(Phishing Attempts and Viruses) but is mostly junk mail containing unsolicited offers for things you do not want. A lot of spam also contains explicit adult material which simply has no place in a business environment.
The above-mentioned threats can not only cause costly damage to your computers and network infrastructure but can also tax your business with the most important currency of all, time.
