EMAIL SECURITY
ARE THE SECURITY FEATURES OF YOUR EMAIL SERVICE ENABLED?

If your email service provider doesn't offer these features, consider switching to a

IS YOUR PASSWORD
STRONG ENOUGH?
Create a strong and unique
password for your email account,
and avoid using the same
password for multiple accounts.
ARE YOU USING TWO-FACTOR
AUTHENTICATION?
Two-factor authentication adds
an extra layer of security to your
email account by requiring you
to enter a verification code in
addition to your password.
ARE YOUR EMAIL SETTINGS
PROPERLY CONFIGURED?
Ensure that you are using SSL/TLS
encryption for incoming and
outgoing email traffic.
Also, disable the automatic
downloading of images and
attachments in your email client.

DETECT PHISHING EMAILS?
Phishing emails can be difficult to
detect, but some red flags to look out
for include unfamiliar sender
addresses, misspellings, and requests
for personal information.
ARE YOU USING REPUTABLE
ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE?
An antivirus software can
help detect and remove
malware and other threats.
DO YOU REGULARLY UPDATE
YOUR EMAIL CLIENT AND OPERATING SYSTEM?
Keep your email client and operating
system up-to-date to address any
security vulnerabilities.
DO YOU LOG OUT OF YOUR EMAIL
ACCOUNT AFTER EACH SESSION?

account after each session,
especially if you are using a public
computer or shared device.
