E-mail security issues require sustained efforts. Spam, viruses, and network spoofing are profitable industries, and their resources and policies are constantly changing. Therefore, your email security vendors need to make innovations. The following describes the key steps for creating safer Emails:

1. Use an advanced edge spam filtering system to combine reputation and content analysis. A leading edge spam system should be accurate to avoid the need to isolate end users or control the blacklist and whitelist of end users.

2. Traditional signature-based anti-virus systems are insufficient. These systems have been widely deployed, but the world is still suffering from email viruses. The IT team should adopt a solution that includes virus outbreak control.

3. Scan the outgoing email. Health care and financial services companies all have very special email filtering needs. In general, filtering in other industries requires less intense filtering, but some security measures need to be taken to prevent unintentional information leakage by company staff.

4. Protect your identity and reputation. Place commercial emails on one outbound IP address, employee emails on another IP address, and delayed emails on the third IP address. This method will protect your reputation on the Internet.

5. Be advanced and oriented to the future. Set a sender ID record for outgoing emails. In the next year, the lack of authentication will become increasingly suspicious, and the transmission of the output mail will be damaged. Spam, viruses, and fraudulent emails are a lucrative industry, and their patterns are also increasingly revolutionizing.
