1. Follow Email Security Best Practices 
   Never send out personal information from an unsecured email, ensure all email is encrypted with at minimum TLS encryption. Challenge and confirm suspicious requests, even when it is from a boss or CEO. Change passwords frequently and limit the amount of information and data that is given out, be wary of giving away your email address to websites in case they are hacked.
2. Ensure Employees are Properly Trained 
   User error can be the biggest risk to a company when it comes to email security, ensure users are trained to identify phishing attacks and know what to do if they receive one.
3. Enlist an Email Security Company 
   An email security service will limit the amount of spam and phishing emails that reach a user's inbox, reducing the chances of them falling for an email attack.
