Without the proper security measures, cybercriminals can manipulate an email’s sending address, making it appear as though it came from a trusted source. This deceptive practice, known as email spoofing, poses a significant risk to anyone using email.
From a business perspective, email spoofing can lead to reputation damage. Imagine if spoofed emails containing malicious links or attachments, seemingly sent by your company, reached your customers and partners. Additionally, your employees might unwittingly expose sensitive data or send money to the wrong place, which can result in legal, compliance, and business continuity issues.
So, how do we protect against email spoofing? The key lies in having the correct records, policies, and management.
