Best practices
- Use a secure email service: Choose an email service that uses encryption to protect your messages and offers additional security features such as two-factor authentication.
- Use strong, unique passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for your email account and change them regularly. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your email account by requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or generated by an authentication app in addition to your password.
- Be cautious when clicking links or downloading attachments: Be careful when clicking links or downloading attachments in emails, as they could contain malware or phishing attacks.
- Use a firewall: A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
- Keep your software and devices up to date: Keep your email client and operating system up to date with the latest security patches and updates.
By following the above practices, you can help protect your emails and email systems from security threats.
