SOC Analysis: Even in day-to-day operations within an SME, using consumer-grade webmail services like Gmail for sensitive communications can pose serious risks. Despite recent enhancements, such as optional end-to-end encryption, Gmail is not a secure default for handling confidential or proprietary information.
