Email Protection
Advanced protection against phishing, malware, and data loss. Secure your organisation’s primary communication channel with enterprise-grade email security.
Who it’s for
Email remains the number one attack vector for breaches. Most of the incidents we respond to across the UAE begin with a phishing email — a fake invoice, a spoofed CEO, a shared-file link that harvests a password.
What’s included
A multi-layered approach to protect against evolving email threats — at the gateway, in the mailbox, on the domain and with the people who click.
Multi-layered defence against phishing, malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting email.
Advanced AI and machine learning detect sophisticated phishing attempts, executive impersonation and business email compromise that carry no malware at all.
Stop criminals sending email as your brand and improve deliverability of your own mail with correctly published authentication records.
Intelligent monitoring and prevention of sensitive data being transmitted through email channels, with encryption where the data must travel.
Real-time scanning and reputation filtering eliminate unwanted messages and known malware before they reach the mailbox.
Secure archive for compliance and e-discovery requirements, with a standby mailbox if Microsoft 365 or your mail server goes down.
Awareness programmes to recognise and report email threats — the control that changes behaviour, measured quarter by quarter.
Multi-factor authentication and encryption for email communications to ensure authorised access only.
Centrally managed, legally compliant email signatures across every device and mailbox — no more copy-pasted disclaimers.
How it works
Gateway and mailbox protection is usually live within one to two weeks; DMARC enforcement and awareness programmes run over the following quarter.
Analyse current email infrastructure and threats: mail flow, existing filters, DNS authentication records, forwarding rules and a sample of the last 30 days of quarantined and delivered threats.
Configure security policies and protection layers — which platform, which policies per user group, DLP rules, archive retention and the DMARC enforcement timeline.
Deploy and integrate email security solutions: MX and connector changes outside business hours, policies in monitor mode first, then enforcement with no interruption to mail flow.
24/7 monitoring and threat response — quarantine management, false-positive release, threat hunting across mailboxes and monthly reporting.
Outcomes
Our email security solutions ensure compliance with major regulatory frameworks while removing the threats your users see every day.

Most popular
New platform or hardening of Defender for Office 365
Option
Threats handled for you, month to month
Platform licences are quoted per mailbox per month in AED. Many Microsoft 365 Business Premium and E5 tenants already include Defender for Office 365, which reduces the cost of the managed service.
Technologies
We implement solutions from industry leaders in email security and threat protection and recommend the platform that fits your tenant, budget and compliance obligations.

FAQ
Exchange Online Protection catches commodity spam and known malware. It does not sandbox attachments, rewrite links or detect impersonation unless you hold Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 or 2, and even then the policies need configuring. We either harden Defender properly or add Mimecast or Proofpoint in front of it, depending on your licences and risk profile.
If you already own Microsoft 365 E5 or Business Premium, Defender for Office 365 configured well is the most cost-effective start. Mimecast is our usual recommendation where you also need archiving, continuity and awareness training in one platform; Proofpoint where targeted-attack protection and people-centric analytics are the priority. We will show you the difference on your own mail flow during the assessment.
DMARC tells receiving mail servers what to do with messages that fail SPF and DKIM checks for your domain. Most domains we assess have no record or one set to “none”, which lets anyone send as your company. We move you to quarantine and then reject in stages, without breaking your CRM, marketing or accounting senders.
We layer four controls: impersonation detection for executives and finance staff, supplier-domain monitoring so a look-alike domain is flagged, DLP rules on bank-detail changes, and quarterly simulations so finance staff verify by phone. No technology alone stops BEC; the combination makes it a reported event rather than a lost payment.
Yes. We deploy journaling archives with immutable retention, legal hold and e-discovery search, and set retention periods to match PDPL, DIFC and ADGM requirements or your sector regulator. Archives can be searched by your legal team without involving IT.
No. MX and connector changes are made outside business hours with policies in monitor mode first. Users notice new warning banners and a report button; mail flow continues throughout. Continuity mailboxes are available if you want cover for a Microsoft 365 outage.
