I know you’re busy. You don’t have time to look for pertinent blogs all over the Net: go to Google, find a million search results, browse through the first 50 and find most of them are either generally unrelated, unfocused or simply out of date or inactive. So, to save you time and effort, we here at Email Security Matters have compiled our own Top 10 Email Security Blogs!
A few will probably laugh at the first listing below, but seriously, I think we have the best Email Security blog out there. I mean, who the heck would nominate themselves and not be arrogant about it? Well, we would. Still, lets do a proper Top 10!
