60% companies targeted by email-related security threats every week: Survey

IT decision makers consider email fraud to be one of the top security risks faced by businesses. As many as 60% of them think businesses are exposed to email threats every week. These are the key findings from a survey conducted by Hiver, an email collaboration solution.
Hiver claims that it surveyed over 100 IT professionals in senior management roles across different industries to gain insights into the kind of cybersecurity protocols and measures they are taking to protect their organisations from email fraud during COVID-19 and beyond.
About 94% of those surveyed acknowledged that their company is likely to be targeted by email frauds over the next one year. The survey found that over 90% CIOs believe that their organisations are exposed to email threats at least once a month.
