    The banks could easily strip any and all email attachments delivered from outside the corporate network, unless authorized through a VPN tunnel or possibly other carefully authorized means.

    You are 100% spot on Rasheed. They do what I've trained them and they are loyal and trustworthy. But you need the right tools. All browsing is done in SBIE. I use Outlook and have it protected with both Appguard and HMPA. I always test my setup, and answer pop ups wrong and deliberately make mistakes to be sure we are okay. Other key things is I have Macrium image once an hour. Also use AJCActive backup, so anytime certain apps are closed they automatically are backed up and save versions.

    And I am also grateful for the Wilders community where I am constantly learning. It's hard to maintain this way in a large corporate setting.

    I must have missed this post. But would it also be an option to run Outlook sandboxed?

    Depends. I've given up trying as Outlook is tied into to many other things. So I leave to HMPA ,Appguard and VS to protect Outlook

    OK, I see. I have also never tried to sandbox an email-client, perhaps I will experiment a bit.
