Without a solid plan in place, cyber criminals will find a way to break into your organization, steal your sensitize data, and escape undetected. This week’s video, from Tonia Dudley, Security Solution Advisor at Cofense, provides organizational leaders with an overview of email security best practices which can be used to protect your business!
