Strengthening email threat protection for Company C

Background

Company C, a tech services provider with over 500 employees, experienced increasing email-based security threats, including phishing attacks, malware, and attempted data breaches. As their business expanded, the company’s reliance on email for communication and sensitive information exchange grew, making it a prime target for cyberattacks. Existing email security measures were insufficient, leading to concerns about data loss, business disruption, and reputational damage.

The Challenge

Increased phishing attempts

Rising volume of sophisticated phishing attacks targeting employees.

Lack of email threat protection

Minimal email encryption and security controls, increasing the risk of data breaches.

Cybersecurity vulnerabilities

Lack of advanced threat detection, leaving the company vulnerable to malware and ransomware.

Lack of cybersecurity awareness

Insufficient employee awareness of cybersecurity threats and best practices.

Our Solution

We deployed a comprehensive email threat protection solution, designed to safeguard against a wide range of email-based cyber threats.

1
Spam filtering & anti-malware
Deployed an enhanced filtering system to automatically quarantine spam, malicious links, and attachments.
2
Security awareness training
Conducted company-wide training sessions to educate employees on recognising and avoiding phishing attempts, reinforcing the human element of cybersecurity.
3
Email encryption
Set up end-to-end encryption to secure sensitive email communications and prevent unauthorised access.

The Outcome

95% Reduction in phishing attacks
The AI-powered detection system reduced the number of phishing emails reaching employee inboxes, minimising the risk of data breaches.
100% Secure email communication
End-to-end encryption ensured that sensitive business data shared via email remained protected, with no reported breaches.
Improved employee vigilance
Security training led to a 70% increase in reported suspicious emails, demonstrating greater awareness and proactive measures among staff.
Faster response times
Real-time monitoring and threat detection with immediate response to potential email threats, preventing any operational downtime.

Easy to Work With

Daffodil were incredibly helpful. We had a very short window of time to arrange for a video conferencing system to be in place to accommodate a senior site visit. Debbie Ogden and her team went above and beyond to facilitate our timeframe with professionalism. Extremely responsive and easy to work with & contact. Much appreciated service.
