OVERVIEW
An email security solution protects the emails in at least one of the ways mentioned above. However, with the increasing demand for a higher level of security, the list of desired features for an effective security solution keeps growing.
There are three ways of protecting an email:
● Stopping the emails at the origin by deploying Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions and Secure Email Gateways (SEGs)
● Encrypting the emails in transit to avoid eavesdropping
● Securing the emails even after being delivered to the recipient, that is, while data is in use.
• The password is of paramount importance for email security.
• Weaker passwords can cause loss of both data and reputation for the organizations.
• Additionally, password policies are a complex web of rules and regulations. POLICIES
PASSWORD

Content filtering deals with government compliance and protection against the misuse of corporate emails.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions provide datacentric security around emails. But standalone systems cannot offer wholly secure and usable systems to protect outbound information.
While email security is one big area, it becomes the elephant in the room without efficient incident reporting.
So, while having a robust email security system is good, it is even more essential for the solution to support incident management and efficient log searching.
REPORTING AND LOG SEARCH
Make sure the system you are evaluating has the
following:
● Separate reports for admins and users.
● Configurable frequency of reports.
● Allow flexibility to generate reports as and when users request manually.
● Detailed log search, i.e., based on IP, countries, senders, recipients, and many more.
● Search based on attachment content of standard file format

Security is not an IT admin-only job anymore.
We need to involve users where they can actively participate.
When it comes to email, it directly impacts end users with efficiency.
USER MANAGEME
NT
An efficient email security solution should have the following features:
● User and admin console
● Ability to set up spam, quarantine, block listing rules
● Generation of reports to end-users and insight into their email activities

DATA CLASSIFICATIO
The email security system should provide email classification based on the content of the mail. Alternatively, the solutions
should have ways to integrate with existing data classification solutions and have a mechanism to write rules based on data classification.
Most of the email classification systems use classification for emails as x-headers and attachments as custom properties.
While classifying the data might not be provided by email security systems, identifying the already classified content is a must-have feature.
Make sure the system you are evaluating has the following properties:
● Capability to write rules based on x-headers
● Capacity to write rules based on custom properties of attachments

DATA-CENTRIC SECURITY
Though most of the above reasons help your post-facto analysis of the emails, the proper security of the email can come only when the emails remain always protected during the transmission and the usage of the data.
Data Rights Management (DRM) solutions provide datacentric security for emails.

UNAUTHORIZED USER CHECK
Wrong recipients are one of the reasons for data leakage because users make mistakes while marking emails.
Modern email security systems are working hard to prevent emails from being automatically sent to unauthorized users.
With machine learning & AI, it’s possible to identify whether an email has reached an unintentional user.
