In the past month, weve seen A surge in malware using Excel4 Macros XLM in hidden worksheets , under the guise of Important information about CoVid-19 AgentTesla sending an email posing to have an order of surgical masks And simple, age-old attacks with malicious Powerpoint slides attached Before Covid-19, 78 of Microsoft 365 administrators reported security breaches, citing phishing as the leading cause. Now scammers are rushing to target scattered workforces that are distracted, stressed, and accessing cloud systems from their home networks. Covid-19 is the perfect storm for cloud inbox security In response to the pandemic, many enterprises abruptly adopted new tools and protocols. Cloud inboxes have long been more vulnerable than on-premises email platformsenterprises using Microsoft 365 consistently report a higher average incidence of successful phishing attacks than they experienced with on-prem. Companies that switched quickly wont have additional safety measures in place. And those safety measures will be delayed. IT admins and SOC teams were already stretched to the limit. Their cybersecurity skills are in short supply, and sickdepleted staff will struggle to respond to the growing alerts they are bombarded with. And, cruelly, phishing and fraud attacks are designed to create a sense of urgency. They induce people to click or follow instructionsreflexive behavior for an on-edge workforce. According to the 2019 Global Data Exposure Report , 78 of CSOs and 65 of CEOs admit to clicking on a link they should not have, showing that no level of employee is immune to lapses in judgment. Its time to layer Inbox Detection and Response on top of SEGs Enterprises using cloud-hosted email urgently need an inner layer of email security called Inbox Detection and Response IDR. While trusty features like Microsoft Safe Links filter spam and known threats, it cant detect all sophisticatedevasive attacks like spear phishing attacks and cousin domain spoofing. IDR solutions instead hook into users inboxes, continuously scan all inbound and outbound emails in all folders, and automatically follow links. They check URLs for favicons, mismatched logos, legitimate site maps, domain owners, security certificates, even regionalized code  all indicators that help flag, Is this a valid email or is it phishing? Best of all, when threats are uncovered, IDR solutions can automatically delete every copy across every mailbox. This automatic remediation removes the burden on the email administrator or security analyst and massively reduces the feared window of vulnerability caused by malicious emails lingering for lengthy periods within the reach of users.

Security Best Practices\n- **Regular Training and Awareness:** Educate employees on phishing tactics, emphasizing COVID-19 related scams.\n- **Strong Passwords and MFA:** Implement multi-factor authentication for added security.\n- **Software Updates:** Regularly update software to protect against known vulnerabilities.\n- **Network Access Control:** Restrict access to minimize potential damage from breaches.\n- **User Activity Monitoring:** Use tools to detect and respond to suspicious behaviors promptly.\n- **Data Backups:** Schedule regular backups to mitigate ransomware risks.\n\n### 2. Data Protection Recommendations\n- **Data Classification:** Prioritize protection for sensitive information.\n- **Encryption:** Use encryption for data at rest and in transit.\n- **Secure File-Sharing:** Utilize approved methods and cloud storage with access controls.\n- **Access Controls:** Apply the principle of least privilege and conduct regular audits.\n\n### 3. Safe Usage Guidelines\n- **Caution with Emails:** Avoid suspicious emails; verify senders and URLs before clicking.\n- **Secure Communication:** Use company-approved tools to ensure data security.\n- **Device Updates:** Promptly apply security patches to protect against vulnerabilities.\n- **Public Wi-Fi Awareness:** Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive tasks to prevent data interception.\n\n### 4. Common Security Risks and Prevention\n- **Phishing Attacks:** Train employees to recognize signs like urgent language and generic greetings.\n- **Credential Theft:** Use MFA and secure devices to protect credentials.\n- **Malware Prevention:** Deploy antivirus software and safe computing practices.\n- **Insider Threats:** Implement access controls and monitoring.\n- **Data Handling:** Emphasize proper disposal and encryption.\n\n### 5. Privacy Protection Measures\n- **Data Minimization:** Collect only necessary data to reduce breach risks.\n- **Encryption:** Ensure data is encrypted during transmission and at rest.\n- **Anonymization:** Protect identities in stored data.\n- **Regulatory Compliance:** Adhere to GDPR, CCPA, etc., and maintain privacy policies.\n\n### 6. When to Seek Additional Security Support\n- **Suspicious Activity:** Contact IT or security teams immediately if a breach is suspected.\n- **Post-Attack Response:** Engage professionals for incident response and analysis post-attack.\n- **Complex Environments:** Seek external expertise for intricate security setups.\n- **Compliance Assurance:** Ensure adherence to regulations through expert consultation.\n- **Limited Resources:** Use external experts to address skill or resource gaps.\n\nThis guidance equips organizations with practical measures to counter evolving threats, especially in the context of remote work and COVID-19 related cyber risks.",
