Email Security Services in Reno

Email security stops phishing, impersonation and business email compromise before they cost you money. We filter malicious mail, lock down Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so criminals cannot send mail from your exact domain, and have our SOC watch for hijacked mailboxes 24/7/365. Email security is included in both plans for Reno, Sparks and Carson City businesses.

The threats

Email is one of the most common ways in.

The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center recorded $16.6 billion in reported losses in 2024, with business email compromise alone accounting for $2.77 billion.1

Phishing and credential theft

Fake Microsoft or DocuSign login pages harvest passwords. One stolen login opens the mailbox, and often everything connected to it.

Business email compromise

Criminals pose as a vendor, client or executive to redirect a payment. Title companies, law firms and accounting firms are frequent targets.

Account takeover

An attacker inside a real mailbox sets forwarding rules, reads invoices and waits for the right moment to send a fraudulent request.

Malware and ransomware delivery

Malicious attachments and links remain a common first step toward ransomware.

Our layers

What email security includes.

Advanced filtering

Phishing, malware and malicious link detection that goes beyond basic spam blocking.

Impersonation protection

Flags lookalike domains and display-name tricks that pretend to be your executives or vendors.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Records configured and DMARC moved to enforcement in stages, so legitimate mail keeps flowing while spoofed mail is rejected.

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardening

MFA enforcement, legacy authentication blocked, risky sharing and auto-forwarding restricted.

Mailbox monitoring

Suspicious sign-ins and new forwarding rules sent to the SIEM and reviewed by our SOC 24/7/365.

Trained users

A report-phish button and security awareness training, so staff catch what filters miss.

Wire fraud

How to stop a fake payment request.

Business email compromise succeeds because the email looks normal. Technology catches much of it, and one simple process catches most of the rest:

  1. Treat every new or changed bank instruction as suspicious.
  2. Call the requester at a phone number you already have on file, never one from the email.
  3. Require a second person to approve payments above a set amount.

This matters most for law firms handling settlements and trust accounts and for accounting firms handling client funds and tax refunds.

Encrypted email

Sending sensitive information safely.

Practices covered by HIPAA and firms bound by client confidentiality need a reliable way to send sensitive documents. We configure encrypted email in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace so staff can protect a message without learning a new tool.

If an email-borne attack does get through, our incident response team, included in your plan, takes over.

Common questions

Email security FAQ

Email security is the set of controls that stop malicious email from reaching your people and stop criminals from abusing your email accounts. It includes filtering for phishing and malware, protection against impersonation, email authentication records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), and monitoring of mailbox activity for signs of account takeover.
Microsoft 365 includes useful protections, but the defaults are rarely configured well and many small businesses have gaps such as legacy sign-in methods, missing DMARC or no one reviewing alerts. We harden the settings you already pay for, add protection where needed and have our SOC watch for mailbox compromise.
Combine technology and process. Technology: DMARC to stop direct spoofing of your domain, impersonation protection for lookalike domains, and alerts on suspicious mailbox rules. Process: verify every new or changed payment instruction by calling a known phone number, never the one in the email. The FBI's IC3 recorded $2.77 billion in business email compromise losses in 2024.
They are DNS records that prove which servers may send email for your domain. SPF lists approved sending servers, DKIM adds a cryptographic signature to each message, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails those checks and sends you reports. Together they make it much harder for criminals to send email that appears to come from you.
At least once a year and after major changes, such as moving email platforms or adding a new office. Our free cybersecurity risk assessment is a good place to start.
