Email Security – Protecting Your Inbox from Cyber Threats
Welcome to Tech Tuesday!
Email remains one of the biggest attack vectors for cybercriminals. Law firms and small businesses frequently face phishing scams, malware, and email spoofing. This week, we’ll cover essential email security measures to keep your inbox (and business) safe.
How to Secure Your Email Communications
Use a Business Email Provider
Free email services are risky. Platforms like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace offer advanced security features.
Beware of Phishing Emails
Never click on unexpected links or attachments. Always verify the sender before responding.
Enable SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
These email authentication protocols help prevent fraud by ensuring only authorized senders can use your domain.
Encrypt Sensitive Emails
Services like ProtonMail, Virtru, or Microsoft Outlook encryption can prevent hackers from reading intercepted emails.
Train Your Team
Educate employees on email security best practices and common red flags of phishing attacks.
Why It Matters
A single phishing attack can lead to a data breach, financial loss, or even legal consequences. Implementing strong email security practices helps protect your firm’s reputation and confidential information.
