Getting Started with Zoho eProtect
The rise of email threats has increased the essentiality of a robust email security system. Email security is a combination of threat protection measures as well as an efficient spam filteration system. This protects your mailbox from unsolicited messages like phishing emails, spams, viruses or spoof emails. Along with protecting the incoming emails, it also helps to protect the existing data from any losses. This can be done by archiving them for later use. Archiving also helps you prove your business's standards in the event of a compliance audit and retrieve them in the event of a legal investigation.
Building a secure email system and industry-compliant business model calls for a reliable solution that helps you tackle both areas. If you are searching for a solution to protect your organization's emails from hackers, and bad actors or to stay in-line with the industry specific compliance requirement standards, you are at the right place.
