What is an incoming email, and why is it important to secure it?
An incoming email is an electronic message sent to your email address from an external sender.
Securing incoming emails is essential for several reasons:
- Protection against spam: Incoming emails can be targets for spam, which can be not only annoying but also dangerous if it contains malicious links or malware.
- Detecting phishing attempts: Incoming emails can be used for phishing attempts, where cybercriminals try to deceive you into providing sensitive information such as passwords or credit card details.
- Preventing malware: Incoming emails can also contain attachments infected with viruses or malware. Securing incoming emails helps detect and block these potential threats.
