How LME Greatly Reduces Your Risk to Email Hacks
- EVERYONE MUST HAVE 2FA!!!!! – This isn’t even a choice anymore; you must have two-factor authentication, or you will be hacked! If you have an on-premises Exchange server then migrate to the cloud NOW because it does not have 2FA and you are likely already hacked and they are waiting in the weeds for the right moment to strike
- Disable Logins from other countries – Don’t even let China, Russia, Iran, or India attempt to log into your email because nothing good comes from letting other countries brute force access into your systems with millions of password attempts tried daily
- EXTERNAL Alerts – Create an easy-to-view TAG that notifies you that emails are not from within your organization. Simple setup tags so that no one can pretend to be from within your organization anymore.
- Intune MDM – Set up security policies so that devices must authenticate with you before people can access your email on phones or computers and keep those devices with a strict security policy.
- Employee Training – Keep staff educated on the common types of email and phishing scams with training software and phishing tests that include the most modern types of phishing tactics
- Spam Filtering – Greatly reduce the volume of scams by implementing advanced spam filtering on all inbound emails and rules that monitor outbound emails in the case that an employee does get hacked
- Alerts when you receive an email from a new email address – Alert staff when a sender has never sent to you before. Most scams pretend that they know you and are continuing off from a previous email chain. Get alerted when an email comes from an unknown sender
- Logging and Alerting – Get a 3rd Party alerting tool that will notify you of strange login attempts, rules getting created, unsuccessful 2FA prompts, logins from other countries and a host of other behaviors indicative of a breach
