Summer is here! And if you’re about to jet off on holiday, IT security is probably the last thing on your mind. Thoughts of malware, spear-phishing and anti-virus are perhaps not as high on your agenda as sun, sea and sangria.
Email – love or hate it as a form of communication, it touches most of us everyday and shows no signs of going away. This is especially true in the workplace where it hasn’t yet been dislodged by the various messaging apps as the preferred medium to send information.
A little bit of planning can help you ensure that you not only have a great holiday, but will return home to find your computer and your electronically held data intact too.

Scam emails pose a big threat to businesses, regardless of their size.
