Montreal, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vircom is today proud to announce the launch of a unique free resource to improve the level of security awareness worldwide: EmailSecurityAwareness.com. This microsite offers a free resource that allows for end users and IT admins alike to discover more about the history of email, information on its insecurities, what threats to watch out for and how to best protect it.
“Email is fraught with challenges and risks, all the more so today because bad actors are using the impression of trust and reliability users have with email to take advantage of them,” says Mike Petsalis, CEO of Vircom. “This free resource is something we wanted to create and share because anyone who reads it, aside from the most technical experts, will have an improved appreciation of what email is, how to use it, and how best to respond or judge threats as they reach their inbox.”
Readers of the microsite will learn more on a variety of topics including the history of email security and the role it plays in cyber security, why it’s difficult to stop or discern malicious and targeted emails, who email attackers are and what their motivations may be, what methods said attackers use, how to identify those methods, how to understand the impacts of a successful email attack on your organization and much, much more.
“This microsite is a comprehensive way to increase the awareness of email and cyber security threats within your organization, especially as a complement to any available or forthcoming security awareness training solutions present on the market today,” adds Mr. Petsalis. “We at Vircom also view it as a perfect complement for our customers and their use of our modusCloud solution for Email Filtering, Advanced Threat Protection, Email Continuity, Encryption and Archiving.”
With the launch of this free resource, Vircom hopes to add another “brick in the wall” that may hold back the cyber threats and risks that every organization faces. With 90% of cyberattacks starting with a phishing email, awareness is more crucial than ever, even with the proper protection in place. To add even more convenience to this end, EmailSecurityAwareness.com also features an easy email subscription function, which allows users to subscribe to the content it contains in a simple weekly email newsletter, rather than having to digest the content all at once. While what is convenient often contradicts what is secure, in the case of this free resource, convenience and security can be achieved with EmailSecurityAwareness.com!
