What does e-mail security mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n As email is still the preferred means of communication even in times of video calls and messengers, a high level of security should be ensured. Where possible, attention should be paid to state-of-the-art encryption. A distinction should be made here between the encryption of the transmission path, i.e. from the email client to the incoming or outgoing server, the path between these two and the encryption of the email content or attachments themselves. The first point is no longer a problem, as all major email providers now offer encrypted transmission. Encrypting the content is more of a problem. This is because the sender and recipient have to agree on an encryption method. This can be an S\/MIME certificate or a PGP\/GPG key, for example. Further information can be found on the BSI website.<\/p>\n A company uses email security to protect personal data from unauthorized access through technical and organizational measures.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As email is still the preferred means of communication even in times of video calls and messengers, a high level of security should be ensured.
