Email security: the challenges
The numerous threats that are now emerging are as broad as the range of required measures to ensure email protection. It is not just the technical side that requires attention - organisational and legal aspects have become much more significant nowadays.

Various factors affect the level of protection required by email correspondence:
- How can undesirable contents, such as spam and viruses, be blocked?

These and many other questions need to be considered when looking at the overall email security picture. It is also important to maintain firm control of both incoming as well as outgoing email traffic. Stand-alone solutions, covering only some aspects, ultimately fail to provide the necessary level of security. The only way to make sure that your emails will remain confidential and comply with the legal requirements is to have a central process that covers all aspects of email communication and at the same time makes life easier for the user.
