The big risk in the most-popular, and aging, big tech default email programs
Publishing timestamp: 2023-01-15 12:03:16
Summary
Cybersecurity experts say email is an old technology that is vulnerable to cyber attacks and default settings need to be updated more frequently. Microsoft, Google, and Apple are the biggest tech companies in the market and have made progress in security, but there are still vulnerabilities. Microsoft has particular power in the enterprise email market, and when they have changed default settings for security reasons, cybercrime has fallen measurably. Cyber insurers are seeing pressures on their businesses increase as the number of attacks increases, and small businesses are particularly vulnerable. Microsoft, Google, and other tech companies need to make their programs better out-of-the-box to fend off attackers before they reach small and medium-sized businesses.
