Email security involves protecting email systems from cyber threats such as phishing, account takeover, and data breaches. Due to its widespread use and vulnerability, email is a frequent target for attackers. Effective protection requires advanced, evolving security solutions to safeguard organizations, employees, and sensitive data.

Email collaboration tools like Microsoft 365 and Gmail have seen increased use since the COVID-19 pandemic, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Despite built-in security features, business email remains a common entry point for attacks that can lead to data breaches, regulatory issues, and reputational damage. In Mauritius, the Cybercrime Online Reporting System (MAUCORS) has recorded 19,300 online incidents since 2018, with 5,221 cases reported in 2024 alone—a number expected to rise in the coming years.

• Phishing
  A cyberattack where malicious actors impersonate trusted individuals or organizations to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information or taking harmful actions.
• Business Email Compromise (BEC)
  A targeted form of phishing in which attackers deceive employees—often executives or finance staff—into transferring funds or sensitive data to the attacker.
• Malware
  Short for "malicious software," malware is designed to damage or gain unauthorized access to systems. It can be delivered via email attachments or links.
• Data Loss
  Hackers gaining access to email accounts can retrieve confidential information. Data leaks may also occur through accidental sharing or misdirected emails, often making employees vulnerable to further phishing attacks.
• Spam
  Unsolicited bulk emails that may serve as advertising or disguise malicious intent, such as spreading malware or phishing links.
• Malicious Links
  Emails containing harmful links can redirect users to attacker-controlled websites used for data theft, malware installation, or phishing.
• Quishing (QR Code Phishing)
  A phishing technique using QR codes embedded in emails. When scanned, these codes direct users to fraudulent sites aimed at stealing credentials or delivering malware.
• Account Takeover
  An attack where a cybercriminal gains unauthorized access to a user’s account—often through phishing, malware, or credential stuffing—and uses it to steal data or impersonate the user.
