Email remains the primary entry point for cyber attacks — phishing, malware delivery, business email compromise, and domain spoofing all begin with email. Securing email is not optional; it is the foundation of any business security posture.
The ACSC reports that over 60% of cyber incidents reported by Australian businesses involve email as the initial attack vector.
Target: DMARC p=reject. This eliminates domain spoofing — attackers cannot send email appearing to come from your domain. Configuration takes 2–4 hours; the impact is immediate and permanent.
Rewrites all URLs in emails. At click-time, the URL is scanned in real-time — even if the destination becomes malicious after delivery. This is critical because attackers often send clean links and weaponise them later.
Detonates attachments in an isolated sandbox before delivery. Malicious attachments are blocked before the user sees them — even unknown malware types with no signature.
Protects specific users (CEO, CFO, IT admin) from impersonation. Alerts when email appears to be from a protected user but originates externally.
BEC involves impersonating executives, suppliers, or IT staff to redirect payments or obtain sensitive information. Technical controls reduce risk but cannot eliminate it — process controls are essential.
