Email Security
The most widely used and inherently vulnerable part of any business.
More than your average SPAM filter, email security involves multiple layers of protection and typically incorporates several types of software and technology. Beyond typical traditional safeguards, employee education is a crucial pillar of email security as users need to be able to recognize and report the latest threats.
Guard Your Business
Protecting your email is a critical piece of the overall network security equation as the number of attacks delivered via email continue to increase each year. Proper email protection can help you ward off these threats and avoid the dreaded ransomware attack.
Four Winds can help protect your business from:
Malware

Phishing
Utilizing social engineering and other tactics an attacker will attempt to impersonate someone at your organization, could be you, and convince someone on staff to send them money or disclose sensitive information.
Spam
Although these emails are not always malicious, they can be quite annoying and distract your staff from doing actual work. Not to mention that the occasional SPAM email does contain malware!
