Safeguards
Email & Phishing Defence
Close off the number-one way smaller organisations get breached.
The vast majority of cyber incidents start with an email — a convincing phishing message, a fake invoice, or an attacker quietly reading a mailbox. Email & phishing defence hardens the single most-attacked part of your organisation.
What’s involved
Inside Email & Phishing Defence
- Advanced phishing and impersonation filtering
- Protection against business email compromise (BEC)
- Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) set up correctly
- Safe-link and attachment scanning
- Simulated phishing and staff coaching (with our awareness training)
Why it matters
The difference it makes
You can have excellent systems and still lose money to a well-crafted fake invoice. Hardening email — and the people using it — removes the most common path attackers take.
FAQ
Common questions
What is business email compromise?
BEC is when an attacker impersonates a supplier, executive or colleague — often after quietly accessing a real mailbox — to trick someone into paying a fake invoice or changing bank details. It's one of the costliest scams for NZ organisations.
Will this stop all phishing?
No control stops everything, which is why we combine technical filtering with staff awareness. Together they dramatically reduce both the number of phishing emails that arrive and the chance one succeeds.
We use Microsoft 365 — isn't email already secure?
Microsoft 365 has strong capabilities, but the risky defaults are often left in place. We configure and harden them properly, which is where much of the real protection comes from.
