New email security tool launched to help organisations check their defences

An online tool designed to help organisations check if their email security is up to scratch has been officially launched by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

The new Email Security Check service helps organisations identify vulnerabilities affecting their email domain so they can take action to fix them.

The tool, launched on day one of the CYBERUK 2022 conference, enables users to look up any email domain to check whether it has recommended security measures in place to prevent cyber criminals sending out malicious emails and to protect email privacy.

Email Security Check requires no sign-up or personal details and is aimed at helping technical teams at organisations quickly identify issues so they can bolster their defences using NCSC guidance on email security and anti-spoofing.

Data shows that the adoption of recommended controls across different sectors varies significantly at present, with some UK sectors having coverage as low as just 7%.
