Email Security, Built for You
What you should know
What is email security?
Email security refers to the measures taken to protect email accounts, content, and communication from unauthorized access, hacking, malware, phishing attacks, and other cyber threats. It involves implementing technologies, policies, and best practices to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of email communication.
How can I enhance my email security?
To enhance your email security and protect your sensitive information, you can follow these best practices:
- Use a strong and unique password for your email account. Avoid using common passwords or personal information that can be easily guessed.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an additional layer of security. This requires a code or verification from a trusted device to log in to your email account.
- Be cautious of phishing emails and avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
- Regularly update your email client or app to protect against known vulnerabilities.
- Use encryption for your email communication whenever possible. Encryption protects the content of your emails from being intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties.

What is phishing?
Phishing is a fraudulent activity where cybercriminals try to trick individuals into revealing their personal or financial information by impersonating a legitimate entity or organization. Phishing emails often contain convincing messages and links that lead to fake websites, which are designed to collect sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, or social security numbers.
How can I identify a phishing email?
To identify a phishing email, look out for the following signs:
- Sender’s email address: Check the sender’s email address carefully. Phishing emails may have misspelled or suspicious email addresses that mimic legitimate organizations.
- Message urgency: Phishing emails often create a sense of urgency, urging you to take immediate action or provide sensitive information.
- Poor grammar and spelling: Pay attention to the language used in the email. Phishing emails frequently contain grammar and spelling mistakes.
- Request for personal information: Legitimate organizations rarely request personal or financial information via email. If an email asks for such information, it is likely a phishing attempt.
- Suspicious links or attachments: Hover over any links in the email to see the actual URL. Phishing emails often contain suspicious or unfamiliar URLs.
- Unusual email content: Be cautious of emails offering unexpected prizes, lottery winnings, or financial assistance. These are often tactics used by phishers.
Are public Wi-Fi networks safe for email communication?
Using public Wi-Fi networks for email communication can pose a significant security risk. Since public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, your data sent over these networks can be intercepted by hackers. To ensure the security of your email communication, it is advisable to use a virtual private network (VPN) when connected to public Wi-Fi. A VPN encrypts your data and creates a secure connection between your device and the internet.
Can I trust email attachments from known senders?
While receiving an attachment from a known sender does provide some level of trust, it is essential to exercise caution. Even known senders can unknowingly send infected attachments if their accounts have been compromised. To ensure the safety of your system, always scan attachments with antivirus software before opening them.
