>Common Email Security Threats Once you have identified the types of threats, you can begin to take steps to protect your organization from them.  1. Phishing Emails  Phishing Emails are sent by attackers pretending to be legitimate companies in order to obtain someone&#8217;s password, banking information, or other private business information without them realizing it was obtained illegally. Examples of Phishing Emails include:  Phony Microsoft login pages Phony invoice emails Emails asking to reset passwords Emails asking for tax refunds  2. Business Email Compromise  A common type of attack is to impersonate an executive or the person that handles finance within a company via spoofed email. Examples of these attacks could be if an attacker:  Pretends to be a company&#8217;s CEO Asks a company&#8217;s finance department for an immediate wire transfer Asks a company&#8217;s finance department to change a vendor&#8217;s existing payment information Has stolen payroll information  These attacks cause billions of dollars in losses each year.  3. Infected Attachments  Emails may contain: Infected PDF Files Word Documents with Macros Excel Files ZIP File Archives Executable File Types  When opened, these types of file can install ransomware or spyware.  4. Credential Theft  Attackers will create fake login pages that appear to be legitimate versions of Microsoft 365, GMail, Dropbox, SharePoint, and\/or Banking Portals; thus when an employee enters their credentials, the attacker will now have that employee&#8217;s credentials.  5. Spoofed Emails  Attackers can send spoofed emails that appear to be from someone that the recipient knows and trusts. Without authentication protocols, an attacker can impersonate a company executive, HR, Finance, or a business partner.  Best Email Security Practices for Businesses 1. Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) MFA is required for all employees, as passwords are no longer secure enough. Consider MFA benefits: Prevention of unauthorized access Protection of stolen passwords Adding a second verification layer Reducing account takeover chances   Common methods of Authentication:  Using a mobile app to authenticate Hardware security keys SMS &#8211; A less preferred method of verification, however, much better than nothing   2. Enforce Good Password Policy Encourage employees to have:  Unique Passwords Long and complex passwords Password&#8217;s should always be strored logs in a password management software   3. Enable SPF DKIM and DMARC  Email Authentication Protects your domain from Email Spoofing SPF is a sender policy framework Specifies which email servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain DKIM Provides Digital Signatures for outgoing email messages DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting &amp; Conformance)\u00a0   Aligns SPF and DKIM while also offering reporting and enforcement functions.   Advantages are:\u00a0   prevention of spoofing.\u00a0   Decreased chances of being phished.   Improved delivery of email.\u00a0   Protection of brand reputation.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Email_Security_Is_Important\"><\/span><strong>Why Email Security Is Important<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses use emails to send thousands of different types of sensitive information, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Client Data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial Information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee Data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intellectual Property<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usernames\/Passwords<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business Proposals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment Instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without proper protection from attack, email systems can be used by an attacker for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stealing Confidential Data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ransomware Attacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business Email Compromise (BEC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial Fraud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spreading Malware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damaging Brand Reputation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the good news is that having good email security reduces these types of risks significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wp-block-ultimate-post-heading ultp-block-fd5c2f\"><div class=\"ultp-block-wrapper\"><div class=\"ultp-heading-wrap ultp-heading-style9 ultp-heading-left\"><h1 class=\"ultp-heading-inner\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Email_Security_Threats_Once_you_have_identified_the_types_of_threats_you_can_begin_to_take_steps_to_protect_your_organization_from_them_1_Phishing_Emails_Phishing_Emails_are_sent_by_attackers_pretending_to_be_legitimate_companies_in_order_to_obtain_someones_password_banking_information_or_other_private_business_information_without_them_realizing_it_was_obtained_illegally_Examples_of_Phishing_Emails_include_Phony_Microsoft_login_pages_Phony_invoice_emails_Emails_asking_to_reset_passwords_Emails_asking_for_tax_refunds_2_Business_Email_Compromise_A_common_type_of_attack_is_to_impersonate_an_executive_or_the_person_that_handles_finance_within_a_company_via_spoofed_email_Examples_of_these_attacks_could_be_if_an_attacker_Pretends_to_be_a_companys_CEO_Asks_a_companys_finance_department_for_an_immediate_wire_transfer_Asks_a_companys_finance_department_to_change_a_vendors_existing_payment_information_Has_stolen_payroll_information_These_attacks_cause_billions_of_dollars_in_losses_each_year_3_Infected_Attachments_Emails_may_contain_Infected_PDF_Files_Word_Documents_with_Macros_Excel_Files_ZIP_File_Archives_Executable_File_Types_When_opened_these_types_of_file_can_install_ransomware_or_spyware_4_Credential_Theft_Attackers_will_create_fake_login_pages_that_appear_to_be_legitimate_versions_of_Microsoft_365_GMail_Dropbox_SharePoint_andor_Banking_Portals_thus_when_an_employee_enters_their_credentials_the_attacker_will_now_have_that_employees_credentials_5_Spoofed_Emails_Attackers_can_send_spoofed_emails_that_appear_to_be_from_someone_that_the_recipient_knows_and_trusts_Without_authentication_protocols_an_attacker_can_impersonate_a_company_executive_HR_Finance_or_a_business_partner_Best_Email_Security_Practices_for_Businesses_1_Use_Multi-Factor_Authentication_MFA_MFA_is_required_for_all_employees_as_passwords_are_no_longer_secure_enough_Consider_MFA_benefits_Prevention_of_unauthorized_access_Protection_of_stolen_passwords_Adding_a_second_verification_layer_Reducing_account_takeover_chances_Common_methods_of_Authentication_Using_a_mobile_app_to_authenticate_Hardware_security_keys_SMS_%E2%80%93_A_less_preferred_method_of_verification_however_much_better_than_nothing_2_Enforce_Good_Password_Policy_Encourage_employees_to_have_Unique_Passwords_Long_and_complex_passwords_Passwords_should_always_be_strored_logs_in_a_password_management_software_3_Enable_SPF_DKIM_and_DMARC_Email_Authentication_Protects_your_domain_from_Email_Spoofing_SPF_is_a_sender_policy_framework_Specifies_which_email_servers_are_authorized_to_send_email_on_behalf_of_your_domain_DKIM_Provides_Digital_Signatures_for_outgoing_email_messages_DMARC_Domain-based_Message_Authentication_Reporting_Conformance_Aligns_SPF_and_DKIM_while_also_offering_reporting_and_enforcement_functions_Advantages_are_prevention_of_spoofing_Decreased_chances_of_being_phished_Improved_delivery_of_email_Protection_of_brand_reputation\"><\/span><span><strong>Common Email Security Threats<\/strong><br>Once you have identified the types of threats, you can begin to take steps to protect your organization from them.<br><br>1.
