This month serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of staying vigilant in our digital interactions, especially when it comes to email security.<\/p>\n<h3>Staying Safe in Your Inbox<\/h3>\n<p>Email remains a primary target for cybercriminals, and it&#8217;s essential to practice good habits to protect yourself:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Be Wary of Suspicious Links<\/strong>: Always hover over links to preview the URL before clicking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise Caution with Attachments<\/strong>: Don&#8217;t open attachments from unknown senders or unexpected emails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Strong Passwords<\/strong>: Implement unique, complex passwords for each of your accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enable Multi-Factor Authentication<\/strong>: This adds an extra layer of security to your email and other online accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Sperry Software&#8217;s Security Enhancements<\/h3>\n<p>In line with our commitment to your security, we&#8217;re implementing changes to strengthen our own infrastructure.\u00a0 Over the next few weeks, we&#8217;ll be modifying how our add-ins, including popular tools like <a href=\"\/Email-Tools\/product\/auto-print\">Auto Print<\/a> and <a href=\"\/Email-Tools\/product\/save-as-pdf\">Save As PDF<\/a>, interact with our licensing server. This change will affect two primary functions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Checking for Updates<\/strong>: The process for automatically checking for new versions will be updated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic Upgrades<\/strong>: The system handling automatic upgrades will also undergo changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What This Means for You<\/h3>\n<p>While we&#8217;re working hard to ensure a smooth transition, it&#8217;s possible that some users may experience temporary interruptions in these automated processes. However, we want to assure you that your ability to use our add-ins will not be affected.<\/p>\n<h3>Manual Updates Always Available<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that even if automatic updates are temporarily unavailable, you can always manually update your add-ins. This ensures you&#8217;ll always have access to the latest features and security improvements.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>These changes represent our ongoing commitment to providing secure, reliable software solutions. By strengthening our backend systems, we&#8217;re not only enhancing our own security but also contributing to a safer email environment for all our users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay Informed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll keep you updated on these changes as they roll out. In the meantime, we encourage you to:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Keep your add-ins up to date<br \/>\n&#8211; Stay vigilant about email security<br \/>\n&#8211; Reach out to our support team if you have any questions or concerns<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued trust in Sperry Software.
