Top Email Security Best Practices
To fortify their defenses against cyber threats, organizations should elevate the importance of email security and develop a robust strategy to shield this critical point of entry. Here are key steps to consider:
- Implement a Strong Email Security System: It's imperative for organizations to install a formidable email security system. Such a system should be equipped with sophisticated features to identify and neutralize a range of email threats.
- Activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)/Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): It's advisable for organizations to mandate MFA/2FA for all user accounts when feasible. This extra security measure significantly undermines the effectiveness of attacks that rely on stolen credentials. Notably, Microsoft research indicates that an overwhelming 99% of breached accounts lacked MFA protection.
- Regular Security Awareness Training: It's crucial to conduct periodic security awareness training for all staff members. These sessions should focus on recognizing phishing attempts and adhering to best security practices. Educating employees on potential cyberattack methods equips them to identify and counteract such threats. Security teams should also emphasize the importance of seeking additional verification before altering banking information or approving financial transactions via email.
- Adopt a Secure Email Gateway (SEG): Organizations should integrate a Secure Email Gateway that aligns with their unique requirements. The SEG should excel in intercepting and blocking email-based threats. Moreover, clear guidelines should be established regarding handling various file types received through email to minimize the dangers posed by harmful attachments.
Incorporating these strategies into their email security framework allows organizations to bolster their protection and diminish the likelihood of succumbing to email-centric cyberattacks.
