Email is where most business attacks start — a convincing invoice, a fake login page, a message that appears to come from the owner. Managed email security closes the gaps that make those attacks work, and monitors for the ones that get through.
Attackers rarely break anything. They log in with a stolen password, watch the mailbox quietly, then send a payment request at exactly the right moment using real conversation history. Nothing about the message looks wrong because nothing about it is fake except the bank details.
The defenses that stop this are unglamorous: MFA everywhere, alerting on suspicious logins, monitoring for hidden inbox rules, and a company policy that payment changes are confirmed by phone.
Email protection is part of SteroShield managed cybersecurity at $50 per computer per month, and email hardening is part of how we configure Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Managed IT clients.
It includes tools, but they need configuring and monitoring. Default settings leave legacy authentication, weak MFA coverage and no alerting on suspicious mailbox activity.
DMARC tells receiving mail servers what to do with messages that fail authentication checks. Without it, attackers can spoof your domain more easily and your legitimate mail is more likely to land in spam.
We lock the account, revoke sessions, reset credentials, remove attacker mailbox rules, review what was accessed and report back with what happened.
Yes. The same controls apply — MFA, authentication records, filtering, monitoring and response.
