Why Use a Third-Party Email Security Solution? 

In today's digital landscape, email remains the most widely utilized method of business-to-business communication. However, it also represents one of the most significant cybersecurity risks. From phishing attacks to ransomware and CEO fraud, the threats targeting email users are endless. This is where third-party email security solutions come into play, offering robust protection that goes beyond the limitations of standard email providers. 

Email providers are responsible for the integrity of their code and platforms, but the responsibility for other threats and risks falls squarely on the user. Even Microsoft suggests seeking protection from third-party solutions, as they do not cover all aspects of cybersecurity risks in their user agreements. 

The Value of a Third-Party Solution 

Third-party email security solutions offer several advantages, such as: 

• 24x7 IT Security: These solutions provide round-the-clock protection without requiring technical skills from users. 

• Central Management: A single pane of glass controls the entire organization's email security, including user access rights, archiving, data backup, auditing, and security awareness services. 

• Flexibility and Scalability: These solutions are designed to grow with your organization and can adapt to changing needs. 

• Cloud-Based Services: Offering full business continuity, these services ensure that your email communication remains secure and uninterrupted.

The Best Ways to Defend Against Endless Attacks 

With employees spending an average of 28% of their day in their email program, it remains the favored method of communication despite the rise of messaging apps. However, email's popularity also makes it a prime target for phishing attacks. To keep users safe, third-party mail filtering is essential. 

How Does Email Filtering Work? 

Third-party mail filters use behavior-based algorithms and AI mechanisms to review incoming messages, flag suspicious emails, and reduce spam. These filters analyze multiple criteria, such as common spam keywords, mismatched email domains, flagged sender IP addresses, and potentially malicious links or attachments. By identifying and filtering out unwanted messages, these solutions significantly decrease the risk of cyberattacks. 

Case Study: Improving Data Protection and Boosting Productivity 

A notable example of the benefits of third-party email security can be seen in a mid-sized enterprise that adopted Hornetsecurity's solution. The company faced frequent phishing attempts, which not only posed a risk to data security but also reduced employee productivity. By implementing Hornetsecurity's email filtering, the company saw a dramatic reduction in spam and phishing emails, leading to: 

• Enhanced Data Protection: By stopping phishing emails at their source, the company's risk of a costly cyberattack significantly decreased. 

• Improved Productivity: With the reduction in spam, employees could focus on legitimate emails, saving time and enhancing overall productivity. 

• Savings in Bandwidth and Storage: By preventing spam from being delivered, the company saved valuable network resources and hard drive space, further boosting efficiency. 

Conclusion 

The implementation of a third-party email security solution provides robust protection against the myriad threats targeting email users. By enhancing data protection and boosting productivity, these solutions offer a vital layer of security that standard email providers cannot match. For any organization looking to safeguard its communication channels, investing in a third-party email security solution is a prudent and necessary step.
