Email remains the number one entry point for cyber attacks, from phishing and fake invoices to malware-laden attachments. Because every employee uses email, every employee is a potential target.
Five practical tips to secure business email
1. Turn on multi-factor authentication. This single step blocks the majority of account takeover attempts.
2. Use advanced email filtering. Modern filters detect phishing links, spoofed senders and malicious attachments before they reach inboxes.
3. Configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC. These records help prevent criminals from sending emails that pretend to come from your domain.
4. Train your team. Regular, short awareness training helps staff spot suspicious messages and report them.
5. Verify payment requests. Always confirm changes to bank details or urgent payment requests by phone.
