The people you employ should be your company’s biggest asset. Every day your people create more and more valuable data for your business, but when it comes to protecting that data, your current defenses can’t keep up.

Email fraud, also called Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a type of phishing that preys on your trust. Unlike most email attacks, email fraud doesn’t use malware attachments nor does it use malicious links or other common phishing techniques. Instead it relies on social engineering in order to trick you into doing something the attackers want. According to the FBI email fraud attacks have more than doubled since 2017. Costing an estimated 12 billion dollars since 2013. So how do you detect email fraud?
When you receive an email from a co-worker it feels safe, but that message might not be from them at all. Highly targeted imposter email attacks are the biggest threat facing enterprises today. Costing 3.1 billion dollars in the past two years alone. 95% of those attacks spoof legitimate domains to target your organization. This means cyber criminals create a fake email address using your domain tricking recipients into giving up valuable data, credentials, and funds. It takes just one malicious email to wreak havoc on your organization, but only if it reaches the inbox.
Proofpoint Email Security Filtering can eliminate the devastating impact of imposter email fraud. Leveraging the power of email authentication which enables you to detect block and respond to threats before they reach your employees. With email fraud defense you gain full visibility into your email ecosystem not only will you see who is sending emails on your behalf, but you’ll also get recommendations on how to authorize legitimate senders by authenticating all of the good messages you can start blocking the bad. Combined with other Proofpoint email protection capabilities the multi-layered approach empowers your security team to respond quickly and accurately to even the most sophisticated threats.

Today, enterprise organizations face billions of cyber threats. Attacks are sophisticated and are carried out using multiple vectors: malware, exploits, and scripts. The majority of these threats target the most vulnerable parts of the organization: user endpoints and servers.
Legacy antivirus cannot keep pace with the growing onslaught of new malware. Next-gen antivirus still only focuses on prevention, offering no other protective measures against malware attacks that go uncaught, or against other types of threats.
Even if a threat is detected, most organizations aren’t equipped to respond effectively. How can you protect all of your endpoints against more than just file-based malware? How can you respond to threats effectively enough to eliminate the vulnerability gap between detection and response?
SentinelOne Next generation Endpoint and Server Protection
Protect against every threat.
SentinelOne’s Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) offers multi-layer threat protection delivered by a single lightweight agent.
Driven by state-of-the-art machine learning, EPP pairs signature-less static prevention with behavioral detection. EPP uncovers and blocks file-based malware on access.
It also monitors all endpoint activity to detect malicious behavior perpetrated by any type of threat, from advanced malware, to exploits and stealthy insider attacks.
Automatically Eliminate Threats
SentinelOne EPP leaves no time for detected attacks to spread.
You can automatically:
Kill malicious processes
Quarantine infected files
Roll manipulated files back to their trusted states
Disconnect compromised devices from the network
And, when a NEW threat is detected, SentinelOne notifies agents on the network so that other endpoint devices become immune to it.

There are two types of businesses out there, those who have been hacked and those who are about to be hacked.

Earlier in 2020 Microsoft announced they would be rebranding their Office 365 line of productivity software to Microsoft 365.
The capabilities of the products will not change and pricing will remain the same. Microsoft is using the new branding to simplify the services offered and make it easier to chose which product is right for you.
The Microsoft Cloud Works For You
The biggest advantage Microsoft 365 offers is the ability to work anywhere you have an internet connection. With it’s desktop and web-based platforms you can seamlessly create and edit files in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint on multiple devices.
So whether you are working in the office or remotely, your files are just a few clicks away.
Easy Collaboration
Microsoft 365 allows multiple people to simultaneously edit and contribute to a document, spreadsheet, or presentation without the need for multiple files. Cloud documents also automatically save revisions so you can easily see what changes were made and when.
Always Up To Date
With Microsoft 365, you will have access to the latest versions of all Office programs. Microsoft is constantly adding feature improvements across all programs making them better and more secure for your business. You will also get access to new products, such as Microsoft Teams, as they are released at no additional cost.
This October marks the 17th annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month in the US. As our dependence on our technology grows, so too does the risk and cost of cyber attacks.
Businesses face significant financial loss when a cyber attack occurs. In 2019, the U.S. business sector had 17% increase in data breaches: 1,473 breaches. Cybercriminals often rely on human error—employees failing to install software patches or clicking on malicious links—to gain access to systems. From the top leadership to the newest employee, cybersecurity requires the vigilance of everyone to keep data, customers, and capital safe and secure.
As technology continues to evolve, cybercriminals will use more sophisticated techniques to steal your identity, personal information, and money. To protect yourself and your business from online threats you must know what to look for and how to better defend yourself in our increasingly online world.
Treat business information as personal information. Business information typically includes a mix of personal and proprietary data. While you may think of trade secrets and company credit accounts, it also includes employee personally identifiable information (PII) through tax forms and payroll accounts. Do not share PII with unknown parties or over unsecured networks.
Don’t make passwords easy to guess. As “smart” or data-driven technology evolves, it is important to remember that security measures only work if used correctly by employees. Smart technology runs on data, meaning devices such as smartphones, laptop computers, wireless printers, and other devices are constantly exchanging data to complete tasks. Take proper security precautions and ensure correct configuration to wireless devices in order to prevent data breaches.
Be up to date. Keep your software updated to the latest version available. Maintain your security settings to keeping your information safe by turning on automatic updates so you don’t have to think about it and set your security software to run regular scans.
Social media is part of the fraud toolset. By searching Google and scanning your organization’s social media sites, cybercriminals can gather information about your partners and vendors, as well as human resources and financial departments. Employees should avoid oversharing on social media and should not conduct official business, exchange payment, or share PII on social media platforms.
It only takes one time. Data breaches do not typically happen when a cybercriminal has hacked into an organization’s infrastructure. Many data breaches can be traced back to a single security vulnerability, phishing attempt, or instance of accidental exposure. Be wary of unusual sources, do not click on unknown links, and delete suspicious messages immediately.
Knowing how to protect your personal and business information is only half of the battle. Without implementing these safeguards you are leaving yourself and your business open to attack.
