Account Configuration

Staff should only have basic email privileges so the lowest level rights needed to perform their job.

Administrator accounts have many more access rights if unauthorised access is achieved can be far more damaging than basic user account.

Use Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) attackers won’t be able to access your account even if they know your passwords.

Think about your usual working procedures and how you can help make common tricks less likely to succeed.

Examples: Unusual requests / Invoices, Impersonating banks
