Email & Phishing Protection
Most attacks
start in your inbox.
Over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with an email. Phishing scams, fake invoices, malware attachments — your staff sees dozens of them every week. We stop them before anyone has to make a judgment call.

The reality
Your staff can't catch everything. Neither can basic spam filters.
The built-in spam filter in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace catches obvious junk. It was not designed to stop a well-researched phishing email that looks like it came from your bank, your vendor, or your boss.
Modern attacks are crafted to look real. Criminals research your company, copy your vendor's email signature, and time the message so it lands when someone's distracted. One click on the wrong link — and they're in.

A convincing phishing email takes criminals about 10 minutes to create. It takes your staff a fraction of a second to click it.

Business email compromise — where someone impersonates an executive to redirect payments — cost Canadian businesses hundreds of millions in 2023 alone.

Many attacks sit dormant for weeks after entry. By the time you notice something's wrong, significant damage is already done.

Straight talk
The threats hiding in your inbox
Email-based attacks come in a lot of shapes. Here's what we're protecting you against — in plain language.
PHISHING
Fake emails designed to steal passwords
An email arrives that looks exactly like it's from your bank, Microsoft, or a courier company. It asks you to "verify your account" via a link. That link leads to a fake login page that captures your credentials. We identify and block these before they arrive.
CEO / Executive Fraud
Emails pretending to be your leadership
Someone sends an email that appears to be from your owner, CEO, or manager — urgently requesting a wire transfer, gift card purchase, or credential change. The sender's address is slightly different, but close enough to miss. These are among the most costly attacks small businesses face.
Malicious Attachments
Proactive monitoring
A PDF, Word document, or spreadsheet arrives looking like an invoice, resume, or contract. Opening it runs hidden code that installs ransomware, a keylogger, or remote access software. We scan attachments before they reach your inbox — including files hidden inside archives.
Malicious Links
Safe-looking links that lead somewhere dangerous
The link in the email looks normal — maybe it even shows your bank's real web address. But it redirects to a malicious site designed to steal your information or push malware onto your device. We analyse link destinations in real time, including links that change after delivery.
Spoofed Domains
Emails faking your vendors or partners
Criminals register a domain that looks nearly identical to one you know — replacing an "l" with a "1", or adding a hyphen. They then send emails as if they're your accountant, lawyer, or supplier. We use DMARC, DKIM, and SPF authentication checks to catch spoofed senders automatically.
Spam & Graymail
Inbox noise that wastes time and hides threats
Not every unwanted email is a criminal — but a cluttered inbox makes it harder to spot the ones that are. We filter commercial spam, bulk mail, and graymail aggressively, so your team spends less time sorting and more time working. Legitimate mail gets through reliably.

How we do it
What's actually running behind your inbox
We layer multiple protection mechanisms so no single missed signal lets a threat through. And we tune it for your business — so you don't end up with a filter that blocks your own vendors.
