  • Some of the tools that I find most helpful are spam/virus filter and dns filtering.  My end users don't particularly like it, but we block all websites other than those that are necessary.  Even if a phising email were to get through, when they click the link it would not go anywhere.  It was a lot of IT overhead in the beginning to get all of the necessary sites on the whitelist, but now it helps me to sleep at night.
