Advanced Managed Email Protection and Filtering
Defend against the top vector of cyber-attacks—email. Our comprehensive inbound and outbound filtering blocks threats and protects your staff.
Email remains the primary entry point for over 90% of cyber-attacks. From sophisticated “C-Suite” impersonation to malicious attachments, your inbox is the frontline of your business’s security. Standard, “out-of-the-box” filters often struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving tactics of modern threat actors. At IT Works, our Advanced Managed Email Protection provides a robust, two-way defense that scrubs your communication channels clean before a single malicious link can be clicked.
Our service doesn’t just look at what’s coming in; it also monitors what’s going out. While Inbound Filtering removes the vast majority of phishing and malware, Outbound Monitoring acts as an early warning system. If a user’s account is compromised, the system detects unusual activity like a sudden burst of spam or unauthorized attachments, allowing us to triage the issue and lock down the account before your corporate domain is blacklisted or used to attack your own clients.
Two-Way Defense for Total Inbox Integrity
-
Proactive Inbound Defense: Advanced scanning that removes suspicious emails, malicious links, and “zero-day” attachments before they reach the user.
-
Intelligent Outbound Monitoring: Detects unusual patterns that indicate a compromised account, protecting your brand reputation and deliverability.
-
Strong Visibility & Reporting: We provide deep insights into the threat landscape facing your business, identifying which users are being targeted most frequently.
-
Automated Phishing Mitigation: Drastically reduces the volume of phishing attempts reaching your staff (complemented by our Phishing Awareness Training).
How Managed Filtering Works
We implement an advanced, cloud-based security layer that sits in front of your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment. Every Inbound Message is analyzed for sender reputation, link safety, and attachment behavior. Simultaneously, every Outbound Message is monitored to ensure your accounts aren’t being “weaponized” by external actors. If the system flags an anomaly, our team performs an Active Triage, resolving delivery issues and, if necessary, isolating compromised accounts in seconds to prevent a wider breach.
Strategic Benefits for the Business
For leadership, this service provides essential Brand Protection. By stopping outbound spam from your domain, we ensure your legitimate business emails aren’t blocked by your clients’ servers. The comprehensive reporting also aids in Compliance Support, providing the audit trails often required by insurance providers and regulatory bodies. For your staff, it means a Cleaner Inbox and a more focused workday. With the “noise” of phishing and spam removed, they can work with the confidence that their communication tools are secure.
“Since IT Works upgraded our email protection, the amount of ‘junk’ and suspicious links reaching our team has dropped by nearly 95%. It’s not just a security boost; it’s a massive productivity gain.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this work with Microsoft 365’s built-in security? Our service acts as a “hardened” secondary layer. While M365 has baseline filters, our advanced managed solution uses multiple global threat intelligence feeds to catch the sophisticated “low-volume” attacks that standard filters often miss.
What happens when a legitimate email is quarantined? We provide a centralized, easy-to-use quarantine management system. If a legitimate email is caught, it can be reviewed and released quickly by our team or your authorized staff, ensuring minimal disruption to your flow.
Do you provide training on identifying phishing emails? Yes. While filtering blocks the majority of threats, the “human factor” remains. We highly recommend pairing this service with our Cyber Security & Phishing Awareness Program to turn your staff into a human firewall.
