Business Email Security: Stop Phishing, BEC, and Impersonation Attacks

Email is the #1 attack vector for cybercriminals. Business Email Compromise (BEC), phishing, ransomware delivery, and executive impersonation all begin in the inbox. For Ohio SMBs, a single successful BEC attack averages $137,000 in losses — often unrecoverable. Securafy's email security stops these attacks before they reach your team.

Quick Answer

Securafy's email security combines AI-powered threat detection, anti-phishing, impersonation protection, BEC detection, and malicious attachment scanning into a single managed service. It works with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, requires no hardware, and is included in Secure-CARE and Comply-CARE tiers.

The Email Threat Landscape for Ohio SMBs

Phishing uses fraudulent emails that appear to come from trusted sources — banks, vendors, colleagues, or Microsoft — to trick recipients into revealing credentials or clicking malicious links. Modern phishing is personalized, timely, and increasingly difficult to distinguish from legitimate mail.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a sophisticated scam that impersonates executives or trusted vendors to authorize fraudulent wire transfers, gift card purchases, or changes to payment account details. FBI data shows BEC causes more total financial losses than ransomware.

Malicious attachments deliver ransomware, keyloggers, and remote access trojans. Even with Zero Trust Application Control active, preventing malicious attachments from arriving is a critical defense layer.

What Securafy Email Security Includes

AI-powered threat detection: Machine learning models trained on billions of email signals identify novel phishing attempts that rule-based filters miss. Detects subtle impersonation, lookalike domains, and behavioral anomalies.

Executive impersonation protection: Monitors for emails impersonating your CEO, CFO, and other executives — both from external domains and compromised internal accounts. Flags display name spoofing and lookalike addresses before they reach inboxes.

BEC detection: Identifies behavioral patterns associated with business email compromise — urgency language, unusual payment requests, wire transfer instructions, and gift card requests — and routes them for review.

Link protection: All links in emails are scanned at click time, not just at delivery. Even if a URL is benign when the email arrives and weaponized later, click-time scanning blocks access to malicious destinations.

Attachment sandboxing: Suspicious attachments are executed in an isolated environment and analyzed for malicious behavior before delivery. PDFs, Office documents, archives, and executables are all scanned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Securafy's email security integrates directly with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace via API — no MX record changes required in most configurations. Deployment typically takes less than 24 hours.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides a baseline of email protection. Securafy's solution adds an additional AI-powered layer with BEC-specific detection, executive impersonation monitoring, click-time link protection, and behavioral analysis that Microsoft's native tools don't provide. The two work together.
Cyber insurance carriers increasingly require documented email security controls as a condition of coverage. Carriers specifically look for: anti-phishing controls, MFA on email, DMARC/DKIM/SPF configuration, and employee security training. All four are included in Securafy's Secure-CARE tier.
Depending on configuration, suspicious emails are quarantined for review, delivered with a warning banner, or blocked outright. Your team can release false positives from quarantine. Securafy's SOC monitors quarantine queues and adjusts detection sensitivity based on your environment.
