Email Encryption & Secure Communication
Email encryption is a security measure that protects your messages by ensuring only the intended recipient can read them.
- Lack of encryption: Without encryption, your emails are vulnerable to interception.
- Unauthorised access: Cybercriminals may gain access to confidential information.
- Identity theft: Hackers can impersonate you and exploit your data for fraud.
- Security risks: This puts both your personal and professional security at risk.
Example: An employee received an email through an unencrypted account. Hackers intercepted it and used the sensitive information to carry out a fraud against the company.
- Enable encryption features in Gmail and Outlook to secure your emails
- Use only trusted and verified websites for transactions and communications
- Avoid making purchases from unknown sources or via social media platforms
- Steer clear of instant transfers or payment methods that lack proper verification
