Email risks

What are the security risks of email?

Email is the world’s most popular method for exchanging information. We use it so much that over 2.4 billion emails are sent every second. That’s 74 trillion emails every year. While email has made communication easier and more efficient, it also comes with serious risks.

We now know that email is an unreliable platform for secure communication. Unsecured emails can be circulated without your consent. Backups of sent emails may still exist, even if you have deleted your copy. Threat actors can easily intercept email messages that contain sensitive information.

The Better Business Bureau estimates that over US$1.3 billion are lost to email scams every year, and that number is growing. In response, many businesses and organizations have turned to commercial solutions for secure communication and information exchange.

However, third-party services may leave you vulnerable to data loss. You often have no idea where your data is stored or if the service provider is keeping your information safe.

Sendent allows you to safely and securely exchange information while minimizing data exposure. You can connect to your private Nextcloud instance without ever leaving Outlook.
