Email Security

Protect your business from the #1 cyber attack vector

What is Email Security?

Email Security is a comprehensive, cloud-based solution we offer that safeguards your emails from phishing, malware, spam, and data breaches.

With advanced threat detection, encryption, and seamless integration, Email Security ensures secure communication and compliance with privacy regulations without the hassle of managing it in-house.

Why is Email Security important?

Investing in email security is crucial because email is one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks.

A single compromised email can lead to significant financial loss, reputational damage, or legal issues.

Email Security also reduces the risk of costly downtime and strengthens your overall cybersecurity strategy, giving you peace of mind and helping you maintain trust with customers and partners.

What is included in our Email Security Package:

  • Outlook

  • G-Mail

  • Microsoft Teams

  • One Drive

  • SharePoint

  • Google Drive

  • Slack

  • Box

  • Dropbox

  • Sharefile

  • Protects all types of email traffic (incoming, outgoing, and internal) from threats and unauthorized access.

  • Uses artificial intelligence to detect and block phishing attempts, identifying deceptive emails and links attempting to steal sensitive information.

  • Description text goes here

  • Scans and blocks emails with known viruses or malicious software to prevent them from affecting the system.

  • Isolates and tests suspicious files in a secure environment (sandbox) to detect zero-day malware before it can harm the system.

  • Cleans and removes any malicious code or embedded threats from files (such as attachments) before they are opened.

  • Protects email content by converting it into a secure, unreadable format to prevent unauthorized access during transmission or storage.

  • Evaluates and blocks URLs with a poor reputation, preventing access to malicious websites that could infect the system or steal data.

  • Modifies links in emails to protect users by redirecting them to a secure version of the URL, protecting against malicious sites.

  • Analyzes suspicious URLs in a secure environment to detect new or unknown malicious sites before users can interact with them.

  • Detects unusual activity or login attempts to prevent unauthorized access and account takeovers.

  • Identifies and blocks unauthorized apps or services that employees may use, which could pose security risks.

  • Prevents sensitive data from being leaked or sent outside the organization via email or other communication channels.

How is the Email Security solution we offer different than the default security that comes with Outlook and G-Mail?

The solution goes beyond the default security by offering additional layers of protection.

Here's how the Email Security solution we offer differs from the built-in security in those platforms.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Spam Filtering

  • Phishing Detection

  • Basic Malware Scanning

EGS - Email Security Solution

  • Sophisticated Threat Detection

  • AI-based Anti-Phishing

  • Advanced URL Protection

  • File Sandboxing (For Zero-Day Malware)

  • Click-Time Protection (like URL Rewriting)

    More effective at detecting newer or more sophisticated threats that may bypass default security.

Malicious URL and File Protection

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Basic URL Scanning

  • Basic Attachment Scanning

    The protections are often reactive, based on known threats.

EGS - Email Security Solution

  • URL Sandboxing

  • File Sanitization (CDR)

    Offer proactive defenses by analyzing links and attachments in real time, even those that have never been seen before.

Zero-Day Malware Protection

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Basic protection against known malware threats. (Antivirus)

    Zero-day attacks (new or unknown malware) can still be a risk.

EGS - Email Security Solution

  • File Sand boxing

  • Zero-day URL Protection

    Detects threats that are not yet known to the security system, blocking them before they reach the inbox.

Account Takeover Protection

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Built-in features for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  • Basic Anomaly Detection (e.g., unusual login activity).

EGS - Email Security Solution

Monitor Over 100 Event Indicators Such As:

  • New Logins

  • Suspicious Configurations

  • Insecure Configurations

  • Authentication

  • Internal Emails

  • Password Resets

  • Contact Groupings

  • Session characteristics

Can better detect account takeovers and compromised credentials by analyzing patterns and behaviors that are harder for default solutions to detect.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Basic Data Loss Prevention (DLP) features

    Prevents sensitive information from being shared via email.

EGS - Email Security Solution

Leverage the industry's most advanced tools to identify and mark files containing:

  • Confidential

  • Financial

  • Personally Identifiable Information (credit card numbers, social security numbers, and bank routing numbers)

  • Granular DLP controls

  • Integrate additional layers of scanning and protection.

When necessary, Email Security adds a -classified suffix to the end of confidential messages or files.

  • Block more types of data breaches, particularly for highly sensitive or confidential data.

Spam Filtering and Phishing Protection

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Built-in Spam Filtering and Phishing Protections

Might not always detect sophisticated or social-engineering-based phishing attacks.

EGS - Email Security Solution

  • Advanced AI-based anti-phishing and anti-spam filters

    Better at detecting evolving phishing tactics, and can more accurately filter out malicious emails before they hit the inbox.

Shadow IT Detection

Outlook/G-Mail

  • Some monitoring of app usage

Their visibility into Shadow IT (unauthorized applications being used within an organization) is limited.

EGS - Email Security Solution

  • More detailed detection and prevention of Shadow IT

    Identifying unauthorized applications being used in tandem with email systems.

Takeaway

Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs), also called Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) based solutions sit in front of the email infrastructure (e.g, Microsoft Office 365) as the first layer of defense. They are designed for the security of on-premises email and as a result, natively lack key capabilities such as internal-to-internal email protection, compromised account monitoring, SharePoint/OneDrive security, and clawback/ Search and DestroyTM capabilities, to name a few. Further, they generally bypass the default anti-spam capabilities which drastically reduces overall security capabilities.

The Email Security platform we offer is a solution that's embedded within the cloud email environment (i.e. Office 365).

It is an additional layer of protection after default security, such as Exchange Online Protection (EOP) .
