What is email security?
Email security protects your organisation, employees, and data against threats delivered via email.
The popularity of email means cybercriminals often use it as an entry point into your accounts and devices. These criminals frequently rely on human error to gain entry. All it takes is clicking the wrong link to cause a major security breach.
As cyber attacks become evermore sophisticated, you must stay one step ahead of the threat.

FAQs
Phishing is a form of cybercrime. An attacker pretends to be a legitimate organisation or person, such as a bank, colleague, or service provider, to trick you into handing over sensitive information, such as passwords, bank details, login credentials, or personal information.
Telltale signs of phishing emails include:
- A suspicious sender address that doesn’t match the claimed organisation
- Generic greetings, like “Hi there!”
- Unusual punctuation or grammar
- Unexpected attachments or links
- Links to non-secure (non-HTTPS) sites
- Urgency, panic, or pressure, for example, “your account will be closed unless you respond.”
- Requests for confidential information
Don’t click any links or open attachments. Verify the sender via a separate channel, such as an official phone number or website. Report the message to your IT solutions provider or in-house security team.
Yes. Spam emails are usually unsolicited bulk messages that are more of a nuisance than a threat. Phishing is a targeted attack aimed at sensitive data. To block spam, use built-in or third-party spam filters, avoid posting your email publicly, and unsubscribe from unnecessary mailing lists. However, you should never click “unsubscribe” links in spam – this can confirm your address is active.
Tips for stopping phishing emails include:
- Check who the sender is by verifying their email address. Don’t trust messages with odd domains or slight misspellings.
- Avoid clicking links or opening attachments in unexpected emails. If you need to check something, for example, a bank alert, go to the official website or app instead of trusting the link.
- Use up-to-date email security, including spam/phishing filters, URL scanning, attachment sandboxing, and authentication techniques such as SPF, DKIM / DMARC.
- Enable strong account security measures, such as two-factor authentication. Taking precautions will reduce loss even if your credentials are compromised.
- Train yourself or staff to spot phishing red flags and treat anything suspicious as potentially malicious.
127 Solutions recommends that you:
- Use up-to-date antivirus software on all devices to help detect and block malicious attachments or malware that may come via email.
- Use spam/virus filtering and email security software that automatically scans incoming messages, including attachments and embedded links, before they reach your inbox.
- Never open attachments or click links in emails from unknown senders. Treat unsolicited attachments as potentially dangerous.
- Keep your operating system, email client, and browser up to date. Outdated software can have security flaws that attackers exploit.
