We've been seeing a steady stream of emails with increasing levels of sophistication targeting clients. Because of the serious risks associated with ransomware we've proactively enabled a new feature on the Vertech Mail Security platform across the board.
- From now on, all zipped attachments, executable files and macro enabled documents will be treated as Spam (but able to be manually released from Quarantine).
- All Scripting type files will be treated as Malware.
If your business may has legitimate email traffic with those types of attachments then please notify our Service Desk here so we can tailor your company email security policy to suit.
NB: Please be careful about making your whitelist entries too generic. eg a subject line of "RE: " in your list of allowed subject is inviting trouble!
Following on from last month's successful Cybersecurity Seminar with Zeald, I am now providing onsite staff group training sessions on:
- What the threats are
- How to spot them
- How to stay safe on the internet.
Whilst we can put in place some very clever technology to defend your systems, your staff are the last line of defense and also the weak link.
We now offer Staff CyberSecurity training sessions!
- Short & to the point
- Group sessions from $199
- Give them the knowledge to protect themselves and your business.
