Email Security
Almost every incident we're called to started with an email that someone had a good reason to open.
We filter inbound mail for the attachments and links that carry the attack, and for the convincing impersonation attempts aimed at people directly. Our post on why phishing keeps getting past your filter explains why some of it still arrives.
We also set up the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that make your domain harder to forge. Without them configured properly, anyone can send mail that appears to come from your company, and your customers are the ones who pay for it. Our free email and domain security score checks how your domain is set up today.
Software is only part of it. What your staff are trained to notice matters as much, which is where security awareness training comes in, along with a set process for when an invoice arrives with changed bank details.
Email security is part of our cybersecurity services, with managed detection and response watching for anything that gets through.

Questions About Email Security
We use Microsoft 365. Is that not enough?
It provides a real baseline, and how well it's configured varies a lot between tenants. We start by checking what yours is set to, which in most inherited tenants is less than the license includes. Microsoft 365 management covers the rest of that review.
What is DMARC and do we need it?
DMARC tells receiving mail servers which servers are allowed to send mail as your domain, and what to do with mail that isn't. Without it, forging your address is easy. It's one of the cheapest protections available and one of the most often missing.
