Amol Mujumdar, senior director-technology at Rediff.com, in an interview to Cybsersecasia, talks of the rising threats of email communication, especially in this time of wfh where many employees are using their personal devices for office work.

'Though organizations have been prompt in enforcing iron-clad Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, the recent Work-From-Home compulsions have kept the IT folks on their toes. From protecting endpoints (personal devices) used by employees at home to adopting email traffic monitoring solutions like MDM and DLP, organizations are leaving no stone unturned in their effort to protect their IT assets.

'Cyberattacks have become increasingly targeted: stealthy, and persistent these days. Targeted malware, heavily socially-engineered impersonation attacks, and phishing threats are the top threats that leave organizations at risk of a data breach and financial loss. Also common now are fraudulent emails such as fake account closure notices, fake emails from logistic operators claiming delivery notifications, fake giveaway promos, etc., which make users fall prey to cyber frauds,' Mujumdar says, here.
