Detection & Mitigation

Stop the attacks that still reach the inbox.

Most organisations already have good built-in email protection. Cybergen adds the advanced layer on top, catching impersonation, invoice fraud and targeted phishing that slip through, without ripping out what you already use.

Layered, not replaced

Add to what you have. Don't rip and replace.

Cloud email platforms block the bulk of spam and known malware well. The attacks that get through are different: emails with no link or attachment, sent from a lookalike or compromised supplier account, asking someone to change bank details or approve a payment.

We strengthen your existing platform with an additional layer that understands normal communication patterns, spots what is out of character and removes threats from every mailbox, even after delivery. Your mail flow stays as it is.

Anatomy of a modern attack

No link. No attachment. Still dangerous.

Business email compromise relies on trust, not malware. Here is how behavioural analysis spots an illustrative invoice fraud email that traditional filtering would let through.

  1. First-time senderThis address has never emailed your finance team before.
  2. Lookalike domainyourc0mpany-payments.com is not your real supplier domain.
  3. Reply-to mismatchReplies go to a different, free webmail address.
  4. Urgency and payment languageRequests a change before this week's payment run.
  5. Unusual request for this supplierBank details have never changed for this relationship.
  6. Verdict: quarantinedRemoved from every mailbox and the finance team alerted.

How it fits

Gateway, API or both

Some organisations need in-line filtering before mail arrives. Others gain most from a layer that connects by API and sees inside the mailbox. We recommend the combination that suits your platform, risk and compliance needs.

Secure email gateway

  • Filters mail before it reaches your platform
  • Useful for policy, archiving and compliance routing
  • Requires a mail flow (MX) change

API-based protection

  • Connects to your platform without changing mail flow
  • Learns normal behaviour to catch impersonation and account takeover
  • Removes malicious mail after delivery

What we protect against

Eight ways email gets weaponised

Credential phishing

Fake login pages and lures designed to steal passwords and MFA codes.

Business email compromise

Invoice fraud, payment diversion and CEO impersonation with no malicious payload.

Supplier account compromise

Attacks sent from a real, compromised supplier mailbox you already trust.

Malicious attachments

Weaponised documents and archives used to deliver ransomware and infostealers.

QR code phishing

Codes in emails and PDFs that move the attack onto an unmanaged phone.

Account takeover

Detect compromised internal mailboxes sending unusual mail or creating risky rules.

Spoofing your domain

Attackers sending email that appears to come from your own organisation.

Outbound data loss

Sensitive data sent to the wrong person or to a personal account.

Domain protection

Stop attackers sending as you

We configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC, identify every legitimate sender and move your domain safely towards enforcement.

MonitorQuarantineReject
p=none

Monitor

Spoofed emails are still delivered, but you gain reports showing who sends email using your domain.

p=quarantine

Quarantine

Emails that fail authentication are sent to junk or quarantine instead of the inbox.

p=reject

Reject

Emails that fail authentication are refused outright. Attackers can no longer send as your domain.

Post-delivery removal

Found it once? Gone everywhere.

Some threats are only recognised after they arrive, when a link turns malicious or a user reports something odd. We pull every copy from every mailbox in one action, then check whether anyone clicked or replied.

  • Automatic removal when a verdict changes
  • One-click search and remove across all mailboxes
  • Follow-up on users who clicked, replied or entered details
The human layer

Your people are part of the defence

When something gets through, a fast and rewarding reporting loop turns every employee into a sensor.

Report

One-click reporting button in every inbox.

Triage

Reported emails analysed automatically, with analyst review.

Respond

Malicious messages removed from every mailbox.

Feedback

The reporter is told the outcome and thanked.

Email security FAQ

Your questions, answered

Can't see your question? Ask our team.

Do we need to replace our existing email security?

Usually not. Most organisations keep their built-in cloud email protection and add an advanced layer for the threats it misses, such as impersonation and invoice fraud. We only recommend replacing something when there is a clear reason.

What is the difference between a secure email gateway and API-based protection?

A gateway sits in front of your mail platform and filters messages before delivery, which requires a mail routing change. API-based protection connects directly to your platform, sees internal and outbound mail as well as inbound, and can remove threats after delivery. Many organisations benefit from one or both.

Will this slow down our email?

API-based protection works alongside normal delivery, so users should not notice a difference. We tune policies during deployment to keep false positives low.

What is DMARC and why does it matter?

DMARC is an email authentication standard that tells receiving servers what to do with messages that claim to be from your domain but fail checks. Moving to enforcement stops attackers sending email that appears to come from you.

Can you manage reported phishing emails for us?

Yes. We can triage user-reported emails, remove confirmed threats from every mailbox and give feedback to the people who reported them.

Does email security help with data loss?

Yes. Outbound controls such as encryption, misdirected email checks and data loss prevention rules help stop sensitive information leaving by mistake.
