Your email is now at risk—here's what you need to know.
Republished on January 22 with a new warning about the Generative AI tools now coming as standard from Google, Microsoft and others, and critical mitigation, as well as new security advice for those running Microsoft’s email platforms, including confirmation on end-of-support dates this year., and whatever defenses you have in place will almost certainly not be good enough. Nowhere is this more true than with our email platforms at home and especially at work.
Gmail scores well in the new report — its security upgrades in recent years are paying off in the real world data collected from actual cyber insurance claims. “Organizations that used Google Workspace,” At-Bay says, “experienced the lowest frequency of incidents on average. Compared to the overall average, Google’s claims frequency was 54% lower.” The insurer highlights features included by default “that may not be the default setting in other email solutions.
Realistically, Google and Gmail are best placed to do this first across a huge user base. But in the meantime, these stats are a great ad for fully managed, cloud-based email at home and at work. Whether Gmail or one of the alternatives, if this isn’t what you’re running today then the numbers would suggest it might be time to switch.
Microsoft’s cloud-based solutions provide a material security step-up for organizations still operating on-premise email, and At-Bay is unequivocal in recommending a move away from on-premise. The security step-up includes Exchange Online Protection , “the cloud-based filtering service that protects organizations against spam, malware, phishing and other email threats. EOP is included in all Microsoft 365 organizations that have Exchange Online mailboxes.
Their key findings make for stark reading, including sensitive information being shared, such as “billing information, customer reports, and customer authentication data, employee data, legal and finance,” as well as “information on Sales Pipeline Data, Investment Portfolio Data, and Mergers and Acquisitions.”
