One of the most valuable assets an organization has is the information contained in its email archive. The most powerful and secure archiving system in the world is of no use to an organization unless critical and time-sensitive data is available on employee demand.
With the ever-growing need to retain and manage huge volumes of email, solutions must be found that are manageable, scalable, and secure. The cloud-based archive offers a reliable solution to all of these needs.
But are there additional costs associated with the archive? What about security concerns? Are these email archiving cloud solutions are stable and scalable? There are many questions associated with moving email to a cloud-based archive solution.
Email is the lifeblood of your organization, but when spam intrudes, it can go beyond a pure annoyance and become a real threat to the bottom line.
A lack of spam protection is the gateway to additional security threats; it is a vector for spear-phishing and ransomware attacks. It can contain CEO fraud attempts and compromise business email. Most of the security breaches in business today begin with an email.
Email data is the lifeblood of any organization. In a very real sense, the organization is its email: a company’s email reflects its management, its policies and procedures, and its daily business planning. It documents transactions, records conversations, and is the most used collaboration mechanism. To get the most out of email data, an organization must allow its employees to search inboxes and archives simply and effectively. But to provide that level of accessibility, messages must be archived securely, yet remain accessible to provide a real-time search and retrieval experience to users.
The security of any organization’s information to a large degree is only as good as the security of their email. With 91% of security threats originating from email-based vulnerabilities, organizations must prioritize systems that protect against email attacks.
Data storage and retention are a problem for organizations of any size, and the amount of data that needs to be stored securely continues to grow. Traditional solutions are costly and time-intensive.
Cloud-Based data storage from DuoCircle can help control the costs and time investment of storing sensitive data.
In terms of both infrastructure and management, the costs of archiving email continues to grow. But the data must be archived and stored securely and accessible, because an organization’s email data contains vast amounts of highly sensitive and valuable business information.

What if there was a way to protect your brand from bad actors using your email address for fraudulent activity?

Last year was a rough year for malware and phishing. 2017 kicked off with hacking and malware infections making news in early January when an effective phishing scam targeted Google Gmail users by tricking them into sharing their login credentials.

Ransomware has become the largest, most dangerous malware threat to date. It affects individuals, businesses, and governments around the world by holding hard drive data hostage. The cost of ransomware infections was projected to exceed US$5 billion by the end of this year, according to this report from Cybersecurity Ventures. Costs go far beyond dealing directly with a ransomware attack. In many cases, organizations had to reduce or cease operations until the ransomware was removed. Lost business, damage to reputation, and lawsuits further added to the burden of cost for businesses that fell victim to ransomware attacks. (more…)
Just under 57% of global email traffic is spam, according to this 2017 Statista report. With a daily volume of 269 billion emails sent, it’s obvious that roughly 153 billion of those emails need to be stopped from being sent out. We think about spam as a mere annoyance, something that can mostly be left for someone else to deal with. However, spam is a lot more dangerous than that. If your email server’s IP is blacklisted, your entire business and your customers are at risk. So, what exactly is a blacklisted IP address and how will it affect your business? (more…)
