The email threat landscape
The continued increase in volume and success of phishing attacks plus, the migration to cloud email has forced businesses to reconsider their email security stance. Many cyber criminals are using more sophisticated techniques designed specifically to bypass traditional email gateways. Therefore businesses are having to bolster their defences to keep up with evolving threats.
40%
of all organisations will use built-in protection capabilities from
cloud email providers rather than a secure email gateway by 2023
91%
of attacks start with email. Gartner has recommended security leaders re-evaluate their existing solution to ensure it remains appropriate for the changing landscape and new threats.
Where we can help
Inbound Protection
Our email solutions will protect you from inbound threats such as phishing attacks, ransomware and account takeover. They will identify and quarantine malicious emails by monitoring communication patterns and conversation-style anomalies, as well as inspecting suspect URLs within the body of emails. You can also reinforce security awareness training by alerting users of these incidents and allowing them to act as an additional layer of human defence.
Outbound Protection
We ensure that email is included in your outbound data protection strategy by examining the types of data that is shared externally via email and putting appropriate controls in place. This helps prevent accidental data loss due to misdirect recipients and malicious data loss commonly associated with employees leaving the organisation.
Automated Response & Remediation
Slash the time between a threat being detected and action taking place. Automatic remediation and incident response instantly identifies and removes all malicious or unwanted messages from your users inboxes, that may have outsmarted your other defences.

"By working with Xeretec we were able to leverage their strong partnership with Barracuda and gain a very competitive deal for the group. This played a pivotal part in our decision to go ahead with the investment"

"After rolling out M365 across the group, we identified the need for additional third-party backup. We went to Xeretec and Barracuda, who provided us with an affordable and user-friendly cloud solution that backs up an unlimited amount of M365 data for all 5,000 of our users."
"Our experience with Arctic Wolf’s MDR platform has been nothing short of exceptional to date. The service will be an invaluable asset in fortifying our cyber security defences. None of this would have been possible without the expert guidance of Xeretec who understood our requirements and found a solution that best suited our needs"
