Tip #1

Verify URLs

Hover over links to see the actual URL before clicking. Be wary of mismatched or suspicious-looking URLs.

Tip #2

Check for attachments

Be cautious of unexpected attachments, especially ones requiring you to enable macros or scripts.

Tip #3

When in doubt, ask a superior and report the email

If you ever think that an email is suspicious, tell a superior and report it in the email client. It is better to err on the side of caution. Forward it to security@brilean.com.

Tip #4

Do you spot a red flag?

At Brilean, any email from an external sender should have a caution message at the very top. Do you see this banner?

Tip #5

Keep your software updated

Ensure your operating system and antivirus software are up to date to guard against vulnerabilities.

Tip #6

Stop, Look, Think

Did anything look out of the ordinary? Did you recognize the sender's address? Was it similar but not the same as an official email? The official Brilean email for the security team is:
