Free Guide: How To Stop Spam Before It Stops Your Business
Spam is no longer just an annoyance. This short guide explains how good filtering keeps most of it away from your team, and what to do about the rest.
What's inside
Written for business owners and managers, not IT specialists. It covers how filtering works, how to set it up and how to help your team spot the tricks.
Why spam is not what it used to be
Today’s junk email can look just like a message from a supplier, a delivery firm or a colleague, and small businesses are often targeted because they have fewer defences.
What spam filtering is and how it works
A guard on the front door of your inbox, checking senders, content, links and attachments, with a short glossary of the terms you will hear.
The right way to set it up
Tighten your built-in settings, add a specialist layer, set sensible allow and block lists and check what has been held back.
Training your people
How to spot the red flags, a simple stop-think-check habit and an easy way for your team to report anything suspicious.
Keeping your filter working well
Regular upkeep, like a car service: updates, reviewing quarantine, adjusting rules and keeping everyone informed.
A quieter inbox and a safer business
A good filter stops most threats before your team ever sees them, so people do not have to spot every scam themselves. The key is steady upkeep, not complicated technology.
