Email

GCSx CoCo adds some very good email policy features which add security benefits to electronic mail. 

Electronic email policies would be advised that HTML is disabled for incoming emails and that automatic execution of email content is disabled as this takes care of many forms of spam and phising attacks.

Dangerous file types, such as executables and scripts or password protected files are not allowed via email.

Encrypted files are not sent via email, though as email encryption is growing in popularity this could in theory help secure file transit.

File attachments and extensions are validated to prevent attachment spoofing - This is standard protocol for many email filtering type products that do IPS controls for all SMTP, POP3 and IMAP traffic.
