He'll wrap things up with an overview of different certificate deployment options and now, over to Evan. Evan: Hello, all. Thank you for joining. Today, we're going to cover the growing risks of using e-mail. E-mail is an essential part of everyday life. Over 100 billion businesses, 100 billion e-mails are sent through businesses every day.

Sending e-mails from a forged sender address called e-mail spoofing is one of the most popular methods for carrying out a phishing attack.

This is often referred to as spear phishing. Often with spear phishing, an attacker will impersonate an individual or department from the organization. For example, you may receive...
