THE THREAT LANDSCAPE

Why Email Security Cannot Be an Afterthought

Email remains the single largest attack vector for businesses of every size. Over 90% of all cyberattacks begin with a malicious email — and the sophistication of these attacks is growing faster than traditional defences can keep up.

Business Email Compromise (BEC), spear phishing, ransomware payloads, and zero-day malware now routinely bypass basic email filters. Organisations that rely solely on their email platform’s built-in security are dangerously exposed. A layered, AI-powered email security strategy is no longer optional — it is a business-critical necessity.

SOLUTION 1 — FIRSTWAVE CYBERCISION™

Cisco-Powered Email Security with FirstWave ADR AI

CyberCision Email Security delivers government-grade, enterprise-class protection through a 100% cloud-delivered model. Built on Cisco’s industry-leading ESA/IronPort engine and the world’s largest commercial threat intelligence network — Cisco Talos — enhanced by FirstWave’s proprietary ADR (Advanced Detection & Response) AI.

 Trusted by Cisco, NTT, Telstra, and Vi (Vodafone Idea). The only solution offering Cisco Secure Email and Cisco Talos on a pay-as-you-go subscription. Deploys in minutes via Microsoft 365 API — no hardware, no agents, zero friction.

AI-Powered Threat Detection

Combines Cisco Talos intelligence — 350+ analysts, 20M daily malware samples, 1.6M daily blocklist updates — with FirstWave ADR AI to detect phishing, ransomware, BEC, and zero-day threats that traditional filters miss.

Anti-Spam & Graymail Detection

Industry-leading spam catch rates via Cisco IronPort Anti-Spam. Graymail detection keeps inboxes clean from newsletters and bulk mail without false positives that block legitimate business communications.

Advanced Attachment Sandboxing

Unknown and suspicious attachments are detonated in an isolated virtual environment before delivery. Ransomware, trojans, and hidden macros are caught and quarantined before they can execute on any user’s device.

Real-Time URL Analysis & Rewriting

Malicious links are rewritten and verified at time-of-click. Post-delivery URL clawback automatically removes messages containing newly-identified malicious links from inboxes after initial delivery.

Spear Phishing, BEC & Whaling Defence

FirstWave ADR analyses sender behaviour, domain reputation, and message patterns to detect targeted spear phishing, business email compromise, executive whaling, typo-squatting, and spoofed sender attacks.

Outbound DLP & TLS Encryption

Data Loss Prevention filters prevent sensitive data leaving your organisation. Supports PCI, credit card, and custom keyword policies. Opportunistic TLS encryption applied to all outbound messages.

Outbreak Filters & Real-Time Intelligence

Cisco Talos outbreak filters detect and quarantine new threat campaigns in real time, even before signature updates are available — providing critical zero-day protection during active attack campaigns.

5-Day Email Spooling & Business Continuity

If your mail server becomes unavailable, CyberCision spools inbound email for up to 5 days, ensuring zero message loss during planned maintenance windows or unplanned outages.

Microsoft 365 API Integration

Connects directly to Microsoft 365 via API for frictionless deployment — no MX record changes or DNS disruption required. Also compatible with all other email platforms where you control the domain and DNS records.

Centralised Multi-Tenant Dashboard

A unified web console and mobile app provide real-time visibility across all users, domains, and security events. Detailed threat reports, quarantine management, and granular policy controls in one place.

SOLUTION 2 — MICROSOFT DEFENDER FOR OFFICE 365

Native Microsoft 365 Email & Collaboration Security

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is the native, deeply integrated security layer built directly into the Microsoft 365 platform. Available in Plan 1 (SMBs via Business Premium) and Plan 2 (enterprises), it adds advanced threat protection on top of the foundational Exchange Online Protection included in all Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

Plan 1: Safe Links, Safe Attachments, anti-phishing with mailbox intelligence, and real-time threat detection. Plan 2 adds Attack Simulation Training, Threat Explorer, Automated Investigation & Response (AIR), and advanced threat hunting — the complete enterprise security platform for Microsoft-centric organisations.

Safe Attachments — Detonation Engine

Every email attachment is opened and executed in a Microsoft-managed virtual environment before delivery. Detects malware, ransomware, and polymorphic threats that signature-based scanning misses, with typical scan completion under 15 minutes

Safe Links — Time-of-Click URL Protection

All URLs in emails, Microsoft Teams messages, and Office documents are scanned and rewritten. At time-of-click, the link is verified against Microsoft’s threat intelligence — blocking access to malicious sites even if the link appeared safe at delivery.

Anti-Phishing with Mailbox Intelligence

Machine learning analyses email patterns across your organisation to detect impersonation attempts, spoofed senders, and lookalike domains. Mailbox intelligence builds a map of each user’s normal communication patterns to flag anomalies.

Zero-Hour Auto Purge (ZAP)

After delivery, if a message is retroactively identified as malicious spam, phishing, or malware, ZAP automatically moves it from user inboxes to quarantine — providing retroactive post-delivery protection against evolving threats

Spoof Intelligence & DMARC Enforcement

Detects emails sent from domains impersonating your organisation or trusted partners. Enforces DMARC, DKIM, and SPF authentication policies to prevent domain abuse, brand impersonation, and email spoofing attacks.

Attack Simulation Training (Plan 2)

Run real-world phishing simulations against your own users to measure susceptibility, identify high-risk individuals, and deliver targeted security awareness training — directly within the Microsoft 365 admin console.

Threat Explorer & Real-Time Detections (Plan 2)

Provides a live, searchable view of all email threats targeting your organisation. Security teams can investigate suspicious messages, trace attack paths, and take immediate remediation actions without leaving the Defender portal.

Automated Investigation & Response — AIR (Plan 2)

When a security alert triggers, AIR automatically investigates the scope of the attack, determines affected users and messages, and recommends or executes remediation actions — dramatically reducing manual response time.

LAYERED DEFENCE ARCHITECTURE

How CyberCision™ + Microsoft Defender Work Together

The most effective email security strategy is layered. No single product catches 100% of threats. iAmaze deploys CyberCision and Microsoft Defender as complementary, reinforcing layers — ensuring threats missed by one layer are caught by the next.

YOUR BUSINESS

Protected Users, Secured Data, Peace of Mind

Layer 1 — Threat Origin

All attacks originate externally: phishing campaigns, spam botnets, BEC actors, ransomware operators, and nation-state attackers targeting your users’ inboxes.

Layer 2 — CyberCision™ First Line

CyberCision intercepts all inbound email at the perimeter. Cisco Talos reputation filtering, ADR AI analysis, sandbox detonation, and outbreak filtering block the vast majority before entering your environment.

Layer 3 — Microsoft Defender

Defender applies Safe Attachments, Safe Links, anti-phishing intelligence, and ZAP as a second verification layer — catching sophisticated threats that evaded the first layer and providing post-delivery remediation.

Layer 4 — Clean Delivery

Only fully verified, sanitised messages reach user inboxes. Malicious attachments are blocked, links are rewritten, and dangerous senders are quarantined before any user interaction.

Layer 5 — iAmaze Managed SOC

iAmaze provides continuous monitoring, threat reporting, alert triage, policy tuning, and incident response — ensuring your email security posture adapts to evolving threats around the clock.

Layer 6 — Your Protected Business

Your users, data, and reputation are protected. Finance, executive, operations, and customer-facing teams communicate with full confidence and regulatory compliance.
