Email Security — Because 90% of Attacks Start in Your Inbox
Phishing emails are the #1 entry point for ransomware, business email compromise, credential theft, and data breaches. If your email security is just the default Microsoft 365 spam filter, you're exposed. Brivy IT hardens your email with layered protection.
Modern phishing is genuinely hard to detect. AI-generated emails impersonate your CEO’s writing style. Domains with one swapped character send invoices that look exactly right. Links redirect to credential harvesting pages seconds after delivery.
Default Microsoft 365 protection catches ~95% of spam and known malware. The 5% that gets through contains the targeted phishing and BEC attempts that cause real damage.
Advanced Anti-Phishing
AI-powered detection analyzing sender behavior, content, URLs, and attachments — catching targeted attacks default filtering misses.
DMARC / DKIM / SPF
DNS authentication preventing attackers from spoofing your domain. Protects your brand and your contacts.
Microsoft 365 Hardening
Conditional access, MFA enforcement, mail flow rules, admin role cleanup, and security configuration review.
Email Encryption
Automatic encryption for sensitive data — HIPAA-compliant email and secure message portals for external recipients.
Forwarding Rule Auditing
Detection and alerting on inbox forwarding rules — the first thing attackers create after compromise, the last thing businesses check.
Attachment & URL Sandboxing
Suspicious attachments and URLs detonated in sandbox before delivery — catching zero-day malware and delayed-redirect phishing.
A real estate brokerage almost lost $340,000 in a wire fraud attack. An attacker compromised an agent’s email via phishing, created a forwarding rule, and waited. When a closing was scheduled, they sent modified wiring instructions from a near-identical domain. The buyer’s bank caught it. After remediation, we implemented advanced anti-phishing, DMARC enforcement, conditional access, forwarding rule alerts, and MFA. The attack would now fail at four different layers.
Why Default Email Security Isn't Enough
DMARC adoption is still low. Without DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records, attackers can send emails appearing to come from your domain — to your clients, vendors, and employees.
Compromised accounts are silent. BEC attacks sit quietly in compromised accounts, reading emails and waiting for the right moment. Without forwarding rule auditing and impossible travel alerts, these go undetected for months.
