How to Protect Your Business Email

Email is the front door to your business — and the number one target for attackers. Here is how to lock it down.

Published 16 June 2026 · Business IT · by the 365 Techies team — Microsoft Partners & Dell specialists, looking after Dorset since 1995

Business email accounts hold the keys to everything, which is why securing them is the single most valuable thing most businesses can do.

// WINDOWS PCS ONLY

We do not support email on Apple Macs, iPads or iPhones. Apple does not allow our remote-support tool to take control of an iPad or iPhone (an Apple restriction), and our remote support covers Windows PCs only. On an Apple device, Apple’s own Mail help is the place to start.

Start with the fundamentals

Turn on multi-factor authentication for every account, use strong unique passwords, and switch on the phishing and spam protection built into Microsoft 365.

Watch for impersonation

Many attacks pretend to be the boss or a supplier asking for payment or details. Train staff to verify unusual requests, and consider rules that flag external or spoofed messages.

Key points

  • Enable multi-factor authentication everywhere
  • Use strong, unique passwords
  • Switch on Microsoft 365 phishing protection
  • Verify unusual payment or detail requests
