Security requirements and countermeasures for targeted email attacks

“Established on September 0th, 2023, through the
Telecommunication and Standardization Sector ITU-T,
a specialized agency of the United Nations”

Reason for Applying Standard

World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Technical Barriers

First, under Article 2, Paragraphs 4 and 7 of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), standards must be adhered to. These regulations serve as legal grounds, and non-compliance can result in restrictions in international trade.

Article 2

Preparation, Adoption and Application of Technical Regulations by Central Government Bodies

With respect to their central government bodies:
2.4 Where technical regulations are required and relevant international standards exist or their completion is imminent, Members shall use them, or the relevant parts of them, as a basis for their technical regulations except when such international standards or relevant parts would be an ineffective or inappropriate means for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued, for instance because of fundamental climatic or geographical factors or fundamental technological problems.

2.7 Members shall give positive consideration to accepting as equivalent technical regulations of other Members, even if these regulations differ from their own, provided they are satisfied that these regulations adequately fulfil the objectives of their own regulations.

Establish minimun Security Guidelines

Secondly, applying email security standards aims to establish minimum security guidelines to counter targeted emails and similar threats. Targeted emails are tailored attacks, and even if just one of the various attacks is not covered, it may leave systems to be complete vulnerable, despite successfully covering the other attacks. Therefore, email hacking one of the most serious issues of all time. However, by adhering to international security standards, it is possible to cover at least all of the minimum scope of attacks required to stay safe. This enables an appropriate counteract to email attacks and enhances the security of both businesses and individuals, ensuring protection from email hacking.
