Free Guide: 90% Of Cyber Security Attacks Start With A Simple Email. Why?
One click on a convincing email is all it takes. This short guide explains why email is where most attacks begin and what you can do about it, starting with the simple things.
What's inside
Written for business owners and office managers, not IT specialists. It takes you from understanding the risk, to the basics every business should have, to the extra layers worth adding.
Understand the risks
Email is the front door to most businesses. See what a successful attack can cost in data, money, reputation and lost time, and which threats are most common.
Build a strong foundation
Strong sign-in with multi-factor authentication, a secure email service, protected mobile devices, regular updates, threat filtering, encryption and a trained team.
Add extra layers of security
Ongoing staff training and practice phishing tests, monitoring, a response plan for when email cannot be trusted, and regular reviews to find gaps.
Why email matters so much
Everyone in your business uses email, which is why it is the first place attackers look. Once someone has access to an inbox, they can reset passwords for other accounts, see what you buy and where you travel, and write to your customers and suppliers as if they were you.
The good news is that a handful of sensible habits and the right protection stop most of it. Our page on advanced email protection explains how we do that for our clients, and our overview of protecting your business shows how email fits in with everything else.
