Email security check
Mail server security is particularly important because phishing emails reach you through them. Since mail servers are always accessible via the internet, they present a significant attack surface.
Why mail security checks
Our top reasons for mail security checks:
- The majority of attacks begin with phishing emails – we help you minimize this attack vector
- Defending against and detecting phishing emails must occur on two levels: technically and through employee awareness, e.g., with the help of phishing campaigns
When to perform mail security checks
In our view, the best times are:
- If you want to find out as a first step how effective your technical defenses against phishing emails are
- Regularly, to validate that no new vulnerabilities emerge
Results
Typical results of mail security checks include:
- Determining whether emails from spoofed senders are delivered
- Determining whether the validity of email addresses can be confirmed
- Determining whether emails with malicious attachments are delivered or if security mechanisms can be bypassed
- Determining whether security measures, such as an “External Sender” banner, can be bypassed
- Opportunities to improve existing technical measures
What we need from you
To perform a mail security check, we require from you:
- IP addresses of your mail servers
- For detailed testing: access to a mailbox to verify the results of our tests
