Email is the most important single service running on
the Internet. It is also the number one source of security
risk.
Every corporate mail server and workstation currently sending
and receiving email messages is vulnerable to an ever-growing
list of attacks.
Most organizations not only do not defend
adequately against these attacks, they are unaware of their
significance and potential for damage.
BorderWare Technologies Inc. has drawn up an introductory
list of vulnerabilities to help build awareness of this
problem.
The List
The following chart lists 36 email security risks and their
potential impact on your organization. The F/W column indicates
whether your enterprise firewall protects you against the
corresponding risk. The A/V column indicates whether your
Anti-Virus product protects you.
The MX column indicates whether MXtreme Mail Firewall protects
against the risk, and the Comments column provides a brief
description how the Mxtreme Mail Firewall defends against
such an attack.
