The Importance of Corporate Email Protection: Part Two

In today’s fast-paced, technologically-driven world, organisations around the globe are constantly being bombarded with massive amounts of email. Some of which are legitimate, but a growing number are from unscrupulous persons trying to break into your system.  So how do we know whether a message or attachment is truly safe to open?

Gone are the days when you just casually open all emails, even if you think you know the sender.  Thankfully, Info Exchange, one of the top business email hosting providers in Jamaica, offers a corporate email protection solution that will ensure your organisation is protected from costly viruses, malware, phishing, and other hacking attempts which often begin by way of a fraudulent email.

Building upon the first blog in this installment, The Importance of Corporate Email Protection, there are a number of common problems that we’ve encountered as business email providers in Jamaica that we thought we would outline to give you a sense of the importance of corporate email protection.

Problem: You receive an email from what looks to be your banking institution instructing you to verify your login information. While the logos in the email may seem legitimate, upon further investigation you realise that the URL does not match your banking institution.

Solution: This is a common phishing attempt used by hackers to gain access to your banking account information. These cyber criminals will send emails that look authentic and send you to a website that also looks very similar to your bank’s online portal. With URL Protection from Info Exchange email with well-known fraudulent links would never reach your mailbox.  For those emails initially deemed safe, Info Exchange MAILEssentials service modifies all URL links within the body of the email to point back to our service …just in case they are weaponised after the fact. 

Email is a critical business tool, used everyday by millions around the world.  Business doesn’t function well without it.  Without a comprehensive and layered email security system in place, your email is a point vulnerability and can pose a significant security threat for your business.   For more information on the hosted and on-premises email protection solutions offered by the Jamaican business email hosting experts, Info Exchange, feel free to reach out to our team at any time by phone at 876-931-9552 or through our online contact form.
