Slack vs Email
Businesses and employees of businesses are the target of choice of today’s hackers and their favorite tool is the phishing scam.
What makes this approach so desirable is that it only takes one person to trip up in any company for the bad guys to sneak in and begin wreaking havoc.
My suggestion to business owners that are truly interested in minimizing this threat is pretty radical: Stop Using Email - for internal communications that is…
The most effective email attacks appear to be a message from a co-worker or worse, someone of authority in the organization requesting urgent action.
The logic states that since you can’t provide employees with black and white rules on what a suspicious email looks like, avoiding it altogether is safer.
Moving company communications off email and onto collaboration platforms such as Slack can also provide other benefits.
It’s as ubiquitous as email and works on any device, platform or device with the ability to try it out before you sign up for a paid account at: https://slack.com
