October is a great month for many reasons, but at BMT we especially like this time of the year as it celebrates something that should be an important part of any business culture, cybersecurity awareness.  While usually an afterthought until it happens, cyberattacks are increasing at a significant pace.  Currently, the average cost for a data breach in the US is $9.44 million, with 43% of these breaches involving the SMB market.  Protection may seem overwhelming, so we wanted to provide a few free tools you can easily implement to protect yourself.

Phish Alert Button
A Phish Alert button gives users a safe way to forward email threats to the security team for analysis and deletes the email from the user’s inbox to prevent future exposure.  To learn more about the Phish Alert button, watch out short video and reach out to a member of the BMT team to get set up!
Second Chance Button
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a way to “roll back time” when you forgot to think before you click on a bad link?
Now you can!  Here’s how it works:
  • Checks links originated in email messages, including embedded links within attached Office Documents and PDFs
  • Set the message your user gets after clicking a URL
  • Set “No Prompt” domains
  • Install it standard, command-line or GPO
  • Get reporting data on what URL users chose to abort or continue to share with management

Have I been Pwned
Have I Been Pwned is a website where you enter your email address to check if your address has been compromised in a data breach. Have I Been Pwned’s database is filled with billions of usernames, passwords, email addresses and other information that hackers have stolen and published online. Just enter your address in the search box. It’s simple and it’s FREE!

Need help implementing any of the above?  Reach out to a member of the BMT Security Team, we can help!
