This Week's Helpful Tips (11/14/2023)
- As your trusted IT partner, we are continually assessing and evaluating best practices to be implemented in your environment for security and digital well-being of your employees and business data. Currently, we are working too make sure that MFA (multi factor authentication) is turned on for every user and that every client is protected by our XDR security platform. We are now working to make sure that all external emails are tagged as such. When bad actors spoof an email address, they can fake the name, but they cannot fake whether it came from within your email system or from an external source. Because of this, over the next few weeks we’ll be adding the [External] tag in all of your environments to help you easily identify internal vs. external emails. We get a LOT of tickets asking, “is this legit,” and this can help each person answer that question much more quickly in many situations.
- This past week it was reported that a major security company was breached because an employee accessed their personal email account on a company computer and that personal account had been compromised. This is why it is of utmost importance to secure all of your accounts no matter what. It’s almost impossible in the modern world to keep our work and personal data completely separate. From personal email on company owned devices to company email on personal devices and then the hub of modern life, cell phones, personal account security cannot be overlooked.
