Message security refers to the protection of messages exchanged between your organization and others. It encompasses solutions to ensure emails and other messages get where they need to be securely and confidentially. It also includes the protection of the associated message or email infrastructure from various threats and risks, including unauthorized access, data breaches, malware, phishing attacks, and spam.
Communications are now largely handled online through email, messaging platforms (like Teams or Slack), and social media channels. Experts like Concensus Technologies use advanced tools and solutions to help ensure message security across multiple accounts.
The message security solutions that Concensus Technologies provides include layered protection that addresses physical safeguards as well as human errors that lead to account breaches.
A message security solution works by analyzing your account security as well as every email you receive. A number of safeguards are included to protect organizations from threats that can lead to malware infections, reputational damage, and costly account breaches.
The system is configured and managed to help ensure that safeguards aren’t interfering with your normal message traffic. These protections go beyond email filtering and can boost your message reputation through email authentication – this means that your messages are less likely to be dumped in your customers’ spam folders.
Email is the main entry point for viruses, ransomware, trojans, worms, and other types of malware. By prioritizing message security with Concensus Technologies, you get full email protection for your accounts.
This includes a variety of safeguards that all work together to keep malicious spam and phishing out of your team’s inboxes. From antivirus and antispam to zero-hour filtering and impostor protection, you gain valuable tools in the defense against email-based cyber-attacks.
Social media is an important way for companies to stay connected to customers, enhance their brand, and gain new prospects. This type of messaging also needs protection, and it’s often left out of other types of email security solutions.
Our advanced message security solutions safeguard your social media accounts in three important ways:
Honest software developers are not the only ones using AI and machine learning. Hackers and large online criminal groups also deploy these technologies to improve the effectiveness of their attacks.
Through our message security solutions, you get advanced threat protection that fights fire with fire. This includes the deployment of predictive analysis to identify potentially dangerous URLs included in an email. As well as the ability to rewrite malicious URLs to protect users and URL and attachment sandboxing.
Business email compromise (BEC) is growing fast and it’s becoming more costly than a ransomware attack. This is when a business email account is taken over and the hacker phishes others in the company and customers pretending to be that email account owner.
Email fraud protection is another vital feature of the message security services offered by Concensus Technologies. We protect your accounts from takeover through tools like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies, typo-squatting protection, and impostor classification.
Phishing has been around for decades, yet it’s still at the top of the list of threats to a company’s security and well-being. Over the years, phishing has become more sophisticated and harder for the average person to detect.
The phishing detection techniques used in our message security tools significantly reduce the risk that a phishing message will become the source of a major data breach at your organization. From URL rewriting to AI-based learning that recognizes message anomalies, your safeguards are sophisticated enough to keep up with today’s phishing attacks.
Malicious links are widely used in phishing emails. They’re easy to hide behind buttons that say, “click here,” and hard for users reading messages on mobile devices to detect as fake.
The DNS filtering capabilities in our message security solutions significantly reduce the risk that an employee will mistakenly click on a dangerous link and either expose their account credentials or introduce malware into your system. Our team at Concensus configures your DNS filtering expertly to block dangerous or potentially malicious sites.
One of the best ways to prevent your business email or company social media account from being taken over is to protect it with multi-factor authentication (MFA). Our solution will include the implementation of simple and convenient MFA to protect your accounts.
Did you know? According to Microsoft data, multi-factor authentication can block as many as 99.9% of fraudulent account sign-ins.
Tools that protect your accounts and message infrastructure are important. But no message security solution is complete without employee education. Staff needs to be trained in how to avoid phishing, whether it’s coming in by email, SMS, or direct message.
We help you create a culture of cybersecurity awareness, which is critical for organizations of all sizes and types. We do this through:
Simply installing antivirus on your company’s systems is not enough to protect your organization from today’s sophisticated attacks. It won’t protect you from fileless malware attacks or phishing messages that contain links but no malware attachments.
You need a full-bodied email and message security service that covers all types of message-based tactics.
Not only do you get the physical safeguards you need to block threats and automate responses, but you also get protection from insider attacks as well. The better trained your employees are, the stronger the human link in your cybersecurity fence will be.
Email is still important, but it’s no longer the only digital means by which organizations and their employees communicate. They use direct messaging in apps, SMS, and social media. So, your message security solution needs to consider all types of messages.
Our solution incorporates that all-in-one approach, providing you with account protection for social media as well as email messaging.
Concensus Technologies works will organizations of all shapes and sizes, from large government institutions to small local businesses. Our message and email security solutions are scalable to fit your needs, so you’re only paying for the type of services you need, and not what you don’t.
