50% of email traffic globally is spam! and 1 million new malware threats are created each day.

We use a best-in-class email filtering technology with Advanced Threat Protection that offers some of the highest detection rates on the market, with 99.9% spam detection and 99.9% virus detection. Source: Hornet Security.com

Talk to us today to learn more about our multi-layered approach and how we can setup and manage an effective email filter for your business to help stop the constant threat of Malware, Viruses, Ransomware, Spear Phishing and Spam.

What is Advanced Threat Protection?

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is a layered security solution within our email filtering that defends against complex malware and cyber-attacks. Emails that pass the initial checks are then analysed in detail by the ATP engine. The variety of attack vectors used today means email protection must be able to identify and cope with a range of methods to defend against potential threats. That is why we use email technology that utilises freezing, URL scanning, rewriting, and sandboxing to keep threats away from your IT infrastructure.

Golden Rules When You Receive An Email

In addition to our 4 step guide to secure emails, your employees should be aware of some straightforward golden rules which they should consider when receiving an email:

Never open an attachment within an email from a company or person you do not know or were not expecting.

Avoid sending any sensitive information over email.

Be wary of opening emails from someone you do not know or trust.

Do not click on links from a company or person you do not know.

Check the senders email address to make sure it is legitimate.

Hover over email links first to show where they are pointing to.

Check for spelling and grammar errors – this is a good indication that the email is not genuine.

When in doubt, call the company that sent the email to verify.
