A new online tool designed to check whether an organisation's email security is sufficient has been launched by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It claims the device will help businesses identify any flaws or vulnerabilities in their email system so they can be fixed in order to keep out cyber attackers.
Called Email Security Check, it will analyse a user’s email domain and pinpoint any measures needed to stop scammers and protect privacy. The free online checker will require no sign-up or personal details to use.
It will use publicly-available information about an email domain and check for security features which prevent cyber criminals from accessing private messages or abusing their email domain by spoofing it and sending out malicious emails pretending to be them.
