Email is a common target for cybercrime. Like a house with a back door, if left unlocked it could be an entry to harmful elements that could ruin your life both professionally and personally. According to global cybersecurity experts, emails were the primary source of two-thirds of malware.
First, get to know your enemy. This will help you maintain a safer email spam protection environment for your SMB.
The first key to security to protect email from spam is training your employees. The more awareness you bring to the issue, the more sensitive your employees will become to it and will be much more attentive to any suspicious activity
These emails will appear to have come from an authentic source and entice the reader to take an action. Typically, the action involves clicking a link or sharing information via an online form that looks legitimate. The phishing link and website clone are so believable that it is easy to mistake them for the real thing. For example, a link is clicked by a user urging them to fill out some personal information to receive a gift card.
These emails do come from an authentic sender account, but their account may have been hacked. One way to spot such an email is if it looks sketchy. For example, let’s say you get an email from a retail company. Everything looks legit except that it is filled with typos, spelling and grammar errors. Perhaps there are instructions on downloading an attachment or form without a clear reason as to “Why?” Avoid such emails.
In today’s modern workplace, businesses allow their employees to work from anywhere using their device. Perhaps you have an employee working on the road and they decide to use an open WIFI network at a coffee shop. The potential of being hacked from someone nearby is insurmountable. It could be the person sitting right next to them. Next, your entire organization could be a victim of ransomware — then it’s all over after that.
Selecting a reliable email spam protect security tool is crucial. With so many options out there to choose from, we recommend that it contains the following attributes:
An email security solution that encrypts your messages ensures that the hackers will never be able to read data if it’s stolen. Data encryption is a method where information is encoded and can only be accessed or decrypted by a user with the correct encryption key. Without decryption keys, no one in between will be able to make sense of the data they have obtained.
Filtering unwanted communications reduces the threat of breaches and makes for a much cleaner inbox. If questionable messages are routed to the junk folder, they are much less likely to be opened. Make sure that your email security tool has strong filters in place that can keep spam and malicious emails out.
Yes, Artificial Intelligence! The future is on our doorstep. Cybercriminals are getting smarter and so is the technology that help these thieves’ access what they should not be accessing. AI will keep you updated on the latest technologies, but it also learns and evolves which means an extra blanket of security for your email systems.
