One Surefire Way to Prep Your Team for Trickster Emails? Your Signature Style
BY Erin Werra-(1).png)
Spear phishing is the phenomenon of someone showing up in your inbox pretending to be your boss.
As a boss, how do you head off that sort of thing? Prepare your team by training them to recognize phishing emails, and put your indelible mark on your writing so thoroughly that you make criminals work overtime to mimic you—and even then, your team will be wise to the charade when it just doesn't read like, well, you!
Tips to develop a signature style:
- Keep it brief.
- Add something unique to you.
- Create a professional and tidy signature.
- Add a quote, a picture, or something else—it's up to you!
- Change it up when the muses move you.
