How To Secure Your Email

Here are simple steps on how you can keep your email safe from hacks and attacks.

• Password protection – Be sure to choose longer, and much stronger passwords – utilizing password software that can automatically generate these can help. Also, be sure to enable two-factor authentication.
• General measures – Be sure to always confirm that a reply is going to a genuine email address, and not to a spam variant. While email is convenient, cross-platform, and used by just about everyone, it’s worth considering if another method of communication might be more secure.
• Use a VPN – The best strategy to keep your email private is to encrypt it directly. Gmail has been offering encryption as the default setting since 2014 for users emailing through Google apps, or on its Chrome browser.
