Spotting the Phish: How SMBs Can Protect Against Email Attacks
Are your employees unknowingly opening the door to cybercriminals?
Email remains the number one attack vector for cybercriminals targeting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Phishing emails are designed to trick employees into clicking malicious links, downloading infected attachments, or revealing sensitive information—putting your business at serious risk.
Why SMBs are prime targets:
- Smaller IT teams often mean fewer security checks.
- Employees may not have extensive cybersecurity training.
- SMBs may store sensitive financial or customer data that hackers want.
How to spot a phishing attempt:
- Check the sender: Look closely at the email address—fraudsters often use slight misspellings.
- Watch for urgency: Messages pressuring immediate action are usually suspicious.
- Hover over links: Make sure URLs match the site they claim to be from.
- Be cautious with attachments: Unexpected attachments can carry malware.
- Verify requests: If an email asks for sensitive info, confirm by phone or other channels.
