Gmail and Yahoo Mail are two of the most popular email providers in the world. However, these and other free email solution are not able to keep up with the advanced threats today. These free email systems are paid for with advertisements and data they gather from your email messages. Since these services are not charging they are only providing basic security, as it is quite expensive to provide the security at the level needed. These free email solutions lack advanced protection for the following threats and many other threats.

1. Phishing attacks: Phishing is a type of cyber attack where an attacker sends an email that appears to be from a legitimate source, such as your bank or a social media site, but is actually designed to trick you into giving away sensitive information. Free email solutions DO NOT provide advanced email security measures that can help protect you from these types of attacks by detecting and blocking suspicious emails.

2. Advanced Malware: Malware is a type of software that is designed to damage or disable computers and computer systems. Malware can be spread through email attachments or links. Advanced email security measures can help protect you from malware by scanning email attachments and links for malicious content. Free email provides support for basic malware but has limited support for advanced threats.

3. Data breaches: Data breaches occur when sensitive information is stolen or exposed. Email is a common target for data breaches because it often contains sensitive information such as passwords, financial information, and personal data. Advanced email security measures can help protect you from data breaches by encrypting your emails and attachments.
4. Identity theft: Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information, such as your name, address, and Social Security number, and uses it to commit fraud. Advanced email security measures can help protect you from identity theft by detecting and blocking phishing emails and other types of cyber attacks.

There are many advanced email security solutions available, such as two-factor authentication, encryption, A.I. powered anti-phishing software, Phishing Awareness Training, and many other services. These solutions can help protect you from cyber attacks and keep your sensitive information safe and secure.
