Email security and anti-phishing solutions protect your company’s mail from the threats that arrive in it every day: phishing, malware, ransomware, business email compromise (BEC) and spam. They combine threat intelligence, encryption, anti-malware scanning and AI-driven anomaly detection to check both incoming and outgoing mail. Email is one of the most common ways attackers get into a business, so protecting it is a direct way to protect your communications, your employees’ data and your customers’ information.
With the right email security in place, you can stop data breaches that start in the inbox, keep user credentials out of attackers’ hands and block harmful attachments and links before anyone clicks. It also helps you meet data protection rules such as GDPR, HIPAA and SOX. Policy-based controls, secure email gateways and real-time threat analysis cut down on human error and let routine incident response run automatically. The result is fewer disruptions, a protected brand and one less easy route in for attackers.
We help UAE businesses choose, deploy and manage email protection. The platforms on offer include Proofpoint, Mimecast, Barracuda, Forcepoint and IRONSCALES.
A stolen mailbox password opens a lot of doors. Protect the mailbox with multi-factor authentication, control what leaves with data loss prevention, and ask about penetration testing to see how far a phished account would get.
Email security is the set of tools and settings that stop harmful email reaching your staff and stop sensitive data leaving by mistake. It covers filtering for phishing, malware and spam, protection against impersonation, and controls on outbound mail.
BEC is when an attacker pretends to be someone you trust, such as a director, a supplier or a bank, and asks for a payment or a change of bank details. There is often no malicious link or file, so basic filters can miss it. Impersonation detection and a clear payment approval process help.
Both include basic filtering. Many businesses add a dedicated email security layer for stronger protection against impersonation and targeted phishing, and for features such as removing a message from inboxes after delivery. Whether you need one depends on your risk and the licence you have.
They are DNS records that help prove an email really comes from your domain. SPF lists the servers allowed to send mail for you, DKIM adds a signature to each message, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do when a message fails those checks. Together they make it harder for someone to send mail that looks like yours.
Proofpoint, Mimecast, Barracuda, Forcepoint and IRONSCALES are all established options, and they work differently. Some sit in front of your mail server, others connect to your mailboxes through an API. The right choice depends on your mail platform, the number of users and your budget. We compare them against your requirements first.
No single tool stops all of it. Filtering catches known threats, but some targeted messages still get through. Staff training, multi-factor authentication and a clear way to report a suspicious email cover the rest.
