Summary: The biggest threat to your firm’s security may be lurking in your inbox. Email is a primary means for RIA communication with clients, vendors, other third parties and within a firm. As a result, most data and security breaches happen through email, usually due to some combination of user error and gaps in cybersecurity protection. The potential risks are so great that the SEC has enacted privacy laws concerning the use, storage, transmission and handling of personal information.
