Enhancing Your Email Security

Email security is critical for startups and small businesses. In fact, email security is even more important due to the potential to bring your entire business to a standstill. Here are some ways you can enhance your email security.

• Updates and Patches: Keep your software and systems up to date to protect against vulnerabilities.
  
• Authentication: Setup multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user email accounts to stop unauthorized access.
• Email Filtering: Use a email filtering system to detect and block unwanted emails.
• Data Encryption: Use encryption for both data at rest and data in transit to make sure that if data is intercepted it's contents remain unreadable.
• IT Security Policies: Create and enforce IT security policies that cover sharing of sensitive information.
• Training: Continuously educate your team about ransomware, malware, phishing, social engineering and other types of attacks.

Investing in email security early on can save your startup from potentially catastrophic security breaches and help establish a culture of security-consciousness within your organization. Let us know if you need assistance evaluating your email security.
