Is Your Email Secure? | Prescott, AZ

Believe it or not, internet scams, viruses and hacking can impact your computer – and life – via email. These online threats are more than just annoying pop-up ads, people can use these email scams tap into your personal information.

So, how secure is your email server?

Here are some things we have noticed that contribute to a less-than-secure email server:

  • It uses SMTP rather than encrypted messaging
    • Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) can be accessed by outsiders because it inherently lacks security features
  • Your mailbox consistently receives spam
    • Your email may be linked to a cybercriminal if you are bombarded with potentially malicious emails. Clicking unknown links can put malware on your system

Email communications are tied into the fabric of our lives and businesses. It’s important to understand your security settings, application allowances and the access your email has to your computer. While it may not make an email server “safe”, at least you know what your settings were and can improve upon them if needed.

 Jelly Websites utilizes and trusts Microsoft Office 360 for us and our clients. We recommend Office 360 because it is compatible with most operating systems (including MAC), provides premier security, is reliable, encrypted and HIPPA compliant. This means that Office 360 is there for you and your business, no matter what you need to keep secure.

When you create or transition to a Microsoft Office 360 account for your business, it can be quite the task. Trying to set up a well-integrated business profile with multiple domains and employee accounts can get messy quick. Our team is prepared to help! We will work with you to understand the domains and email accounts you need to run your business, set you up with Office 360 and pass along the information so you manage it from there.
