Strengthen Attachment Security
Protecting school email systems from harmful attachments is a must. Currently, the school has wisely enabled safeguards against encrypted attachments from untrusted senders , a key defense against malware hidden in locked files. These protections help ensure that malicious content doesn't sneak past your filters under the guise of privacy.
However, one setting remains off: protection against anomalous attachment types . These uncommon or suspicious file formats are frequently used in phishing campaigns. Turning this on would add another vital layer of defense—especially in a school environment where both staff and students are frequent email users.
Fortunately, the school has future-proofed its defenses by allowing automatic updates to recommended security settings . This means your protection evolves alongside emerging threats—without requiring manual tweaks. At Get Set Tech , we help schools activate the right combination of controls to stay secure, compliant, and efficient.
