What You'll Learn Today: Basic Email Security

Email security should be a top priority for all companies. From schools to startups, email is the backbone of many organizations. It's also one of the most common methods for attackers to break into a network.

Simple ways to stay safe

Don't click, go direct

If you get an email that you are not expecting that contains a link, do not click on the link. Instead, go direct to the website from a URL that you know is legitimate. Do not trust anything that is supplied in the email itself.

Don't reply to a suspicious email

If you question the validity of an email or other electronic communication, do not respond to the communication. If you reply, you are providing information to the potential attacker, including that there is a real person at that email.

Only forward legitimate email messages

Do not forward an unverified message. If you forward a questionable message, you lend credibility to the message to your recipients.
