Email has long been acknowledged as a business critical application. However, it can expose your organization to devastating sabotage by offering hackers an easily accessible vehicle to exploit vulnerabilities in your organization’s network security.

There are a multitude of repercussions if email-based threats such as ransomware, phishing, or viruses make it into your email servers and users’ inboxes.  Given today’s complex threats, it is crucial that organizations deploy a multi-layered security solution that includes dedicated, leading edge email protection.

Even with the knowledge of that threat, it is becoming increasingly difficult to accurately detect all of the bad emails without creating a bottleneck and dampening your employee productivity. This is especially true for emails containing attachments.

So what can you do to protect your environment at an email level while not slowing down your critical business processes? Dell and SonicWall can help you answer that question.
