Cybersecurity issues cost companies around $400 billion a year on average. One of the easiest ways to curb these losses is training your employees to create a more secure email environment — staff who aren’t aware of the onslaught of cyber threats are a liability to your company’s data.
Here are tips to safeguard your business:
- Never open links or attachments from unknown persons.
- Don’t respond to emails requesting a password change or personal information — no matter how official the source looks.
- Keep antivirus and anti-spy software updated.
- Encrypt any emails containing sensitive data before sending.
- Don’t use your company email for personal emails.
- Don’t auto-forward company emails to a third-party system.
- Set strict standards for company-related mobile device usage.
Mobile devices bring their own wave of cyber threats. Make sure employees use password-protected devices, encrypt emails, and only download approved security applications. Mobile Device Management can help with these safety features, including the ability to remotely wipe a lost or stolen device.
