Having an email filter for any business is a crucial function of basic cybersecurity best practices. We may take them for granted, but spam filters keep us organized, protected, save our time, and maybe even a little saner than we would be without them.
At the very least, spam email is a nuisance that will clog up staff mailboxes and overload your servers. Some forms of spam can be dangerous — the entry point for serious attacks that could wreak havoc on your PCs, your corporate network, your bottom line, and even your business reputation. Therefore, an email filtering solution is no doubt an essential first line of defense against spam.
Given the high number and intensity of data breaches in recent years, there is a wealth of information available to phishers to use when designing their attacks. Particularly when it comes to phishing emails, these are carefully researched and designed to target specific recipients in an organization. The increasing sophistication of phishing attacks makes it difficult for technology to identify email-borne threats and block them.
