WHAT IS IT?
Messaging Security focuses on the protection of the services that provide electronic communications such as email, instant messaging and other collaborative mechanisms. Typical programs providing controls may include anti-spam, administrator defined block/allow lists, mail antivirus, dynamic malware detection and email intrusion prevention. The term “phishing” has become part of the IT vernacular when describing an attempt to get an unsuspecting individual to click on a file or link that embeds malware into the individuals network or tricks them into providing credentials.
