Copeland Newsletter: Autumn Edition

Happy fall from the Copeland team! This is the time of year for all things spooky, so we wanted to dedicate this issue to the scariest trend in technology: cyber attacks. Don’t worry, though, we don’t want to scare you…we want you to be prepared and equip you with ways to ward off the ghouls of the internet.

Also in this issue of the Copeland newsletter, we’ll cover team news, updates in technology for the upcoming year, and welcome our newest additions to the Copeland family.

Dressing Up for More Than Halloween: Email Phishing

Email phishing is still the #1 way that cybercriminals are infiltrating businesses. Here are some common phishing red flags you can share with your coworkers to protect your business from email phishing.

How to Spot a Phishing Email:

???? Poor spelling, grammar, or incorrectly used idioms
???? Generic salutations
???? Undue sense of urgency -or- threats of account closures, removal of
      funds, discontinuation of service, etc.
???? Easy money or a deal that’s too good to be true

???? Requesting charitable donations

Winter is Coming: Preparing for Inclement Weather

Although we are still enjoying the beautiful autumn, we wanted to remind you to set up your inclement weather plan before the colder weather hits. If you allow your employees to work from home during inclement weather, solidify your plan and ensure you have the right IT infrastructure in place now so that you’re prepared this winter.
