How to Protect Your Business from Phishing Attacks

submitted on 27 August 2019
Phishing attacks are some of the oldest in the book, but they’re also still some of the most widespread. A phishing attack is when an attacker poses as an important organization or person in order to get the target to perform a certain action or give up some information. Phishing attacks could have a disastrous effect on your business and its reputation, so it’s essential that you protect it at all costs. Here are a few ways that you can protect your business from phishing attacks.

Learn How to Identify Attacks Fast
The first thing you should do is make sure that you and your employees can spot phishing attacks. Some dead giveaways include grammar errors and typos, requests for personal information through email, or strange looking emails that try to pose as official. Any message that prompts you to perform an action immediately should also raise some red flags. Important organizations would never ask you to divulge important information through email without prior interaction.

Work with an Online Fraud Protection Service
You should also make sure that you work with an online fraud protection service if you want to protect your brand and business from attacks. Services like fraudwatchinternational.com, for instance, will be able to track down possible attackers and shut them down before they can cause any damage. They’re known for their world class takedown times thanks to their industry relationship, state of the art technology, and exceptional staff. They’ll also be able to help you detect these attacks early so you and your employees won’t bite.

Never Open Unknown Attachments
There’s absolutely no reason to open an attachment from anyone you do not know. And even if it’s somebody you think you do, you should still double check directly with them as some attackers have found ways to pose as legitimate contacts. If you didn’t expect an email or get a certain file, do not open any attachments under any circumstances.

Choose the Right Email Service
The email service you use will also make a difference in the number of phishing emails you get and the chances of you falling victim. Some services take attacks more seriously than others or are just better at filtering them out. The service you choose should have robust phishing filters and efficient reporting tools, mechanisms in place to alert you of possible attacks, and features like 2-way authentication among other things.

Keep Software Updated
While a lot of phishing scams end up being successful out of negligence, there is nothing you or your employees can do when attacks target some vulnerabilities in software. Software is updated in large part to plug security leaks, and an out of date software is an open invitation for scammers to come in. So, make sure that you check your software regularly and make sure that all the latest updates have been installed.

Phishing attacks aren’t going anywhere, and it’s your responsibility as a business owner to make sure that your customer, employee, and business information remains safe at all times. Make sure that you do everything in your power to stop phishing attacks right in their tracks.
