Email Security Software

Email security software prevents unauthorised access to electronic communications by scanning emails for malware, viruses, and spam, before they reach the recipient's inbox. It also authenticates emails, detects phishing attempts, and encrypts sensitive data to protect against data breaches.

Essential features of email security software include anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing, and data encryption. Advanced features like content filtering, attachment scanning, and user authentication can also be useful for businesses with complex security needs.

Email security software provides businesses with protection against cyber threats, reducing the risk of data breaches and financial loss. It also helps to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and provides peace of mind for employees who can work safely and securely.

The best email security software options in the UK market include Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Barracuda. These software options offer comprehensive email security features, advanced threat intelligence, and industry-leading protection against cyber threats.

While there are limited free email security software options, some alternatives include Avast Free Antivirus, AVG Antivirus Free, and Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition. These software options offer basic email protection against viruses, malware and phishing scams, but may not provide comprehensive protection against advanced cyber threats.
