Email Cyber Security Services for Business

Use Anti-Spam: No one wants to have their inbox filled with an infinite number of spam emails not in the least because they can be a deliverer of viruses or phishing links.

Cybersecurity Training: To minimise the possibility of human error, you should invest in regular cybersecurity training. This will ensure that your team is able to recognise phishing threats. As phishing emails evolve fast, staying ahead of the newest scams can help protect your business.

Geo-Lock Emails: also known as email geo-blocking, it refers to a restrictive measure that will activate a geographical boundary around your emails. Geo-lock uses the sender’s IP address to determine their location and blocking their access unless it comes from an authorised region. When an email tries to enter from outside the trusted geographical parameters, it gets bounced back.

Secure Email Gateway: using machine learning and signature analysis this product can identify and block malicious email before they reach the recipient. There are several advantages to Secure Email Gateways such as effective spam filtering, compliance and centralised management. There are a number of providers to choose from like Cisco Secure Email, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Mimecast, Proofpoint and many more.

Encryption: When using an encryption service, it ensures that only the recipient can read that email. The contents of your email will remain private by converting them into a code. This is helpful when it comes to sharing sensitive data like financial details.

BIMI: Brand Indicators for Message Identification allows brands to display their logos next to authenticated emails in recipients’ inboxes. BIMI requires email authentication, which helps ensure that your emails are legitimate helping your business enhance brand recognition and trust.

Here are some of the Domain Name System – based methods that help email servers confirm whether an email comes from a trusted source:

DMARC: Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance, DMARC for short, is a method of authenticating email messages. It is necessary to prevent email spoofing. Every email address has a domain, which is the portion of the address that comes after the “@” symbol. If cyber criminals gain access to your business email, they can send out malicious emails.

DKIM: Domain Keys Identified Mail is a form of email authentication that helps prevent spammers and other malicious parties from impersonating a legitimate domain.

SPF: Sender Policy Framework only allows authorised servers to send emails from a particular domain.

When an email message does not pass any of the DMARC, DKIM or SPF checks, it is often marked as spam or not delivered. For this reason, it is uncommon to find legitimate emails in spam folders.
