Detection & Response
Business Email Protection
The service considers configuration, malicious messages and account abuse across the selected email environment.
- Email security configuration
- Malicious messages
- Account abuse
- Scoped to your selected email environment
The challenge
Email risk crosses several control layers
Email risk crosses configuration, identity, user decisions and investigation. Business email protection reviews those layers together so malicious messages and account abuse are less likely to become business loss.
Protection across the email lifecycle
Email attacks may exploit sender trust, weak authentication, unsafe links, exposed credentials or gaps in payment and data-handling processes. A single filter cannot address every route.
Cyberus reviews the selected email environment, protective configuration, identity controls and response workflow. The work identifies where prevention can improve and how suspicious messages or account activity should be reported and investigated.
Where email fraud can be stopped
- Spoofed sender. A message pretends to come from a trusted colleague, supplier or your own domain.
- Delivered lure. It reaches an inbox carrying a link, attachment or urgent request for money or data.
- Check and report. Filtering, a verification step or a user report can stop the request before it is acted on.
- Payment or access lost. Unchallenged, funds move or a mailbox falls under attacker control.
Why it matters
- Business risk: One convincing message can redirect a payment or hand over a mailbox, and no single filter covers every route in.
- Decision it supports: Teams can decide which technical settings, verification rules and reporting habits to strengthen first.
- What you receive: You receive a review of the selected mail environment with prioritized changes, owners and ways to confirm each fix.
Reduce common email attack paths
Domain authentication
Review controls that help receiving systems assess whether mail is authorized for your domains.
- Why it matters
- Weak sender authentication makes your domain easier to imitate against your own customers and staff.
- Supports
- Deciding how to protect your domain name
Inbound protection
Assess filtering, attachment and link handling, impersonation controls and exception management.
- Why it matters
- Filtering gaps and loose exceptions let risky mail through, so settings need checking against real needs.
- Supports
- Tightening what reaches inboxes
Account protection
Review sign-in controls, privileged mailboxes, forwarding rules and suspicious access signals.
- Why it matters
- A stolen login often matters more than a single bad message, especially for finance and executive mailboxes.
- Supports
- Protecting accounts attackers target
Reporting and triage
Make it straightforward for users to report concerns and for responders to preserve useful evidence.
- Why it matters
- Early, easy reporting lets responders act on one report before similar mail reaches many people.
- Supports
- Speeding up triage of suspicious mail
Business-process safeguards
Identify verification steps for high-risk requests such as payment or sensitive-data changes.
- Why it matters
- Technical controls cannot judge a plausible invoice, so people need agreed checks for risky requests.
- Supports
- Adding human checks to payment changes

Frequently asked questions
Is email filtering enough to stop business email compromise?
Filtering helps, but attackers may use legitimate compromised accounts or convincing business context. Identity controls and verification processes are also important.
Will the review disrupt mail delivery?
The initial work can be evidence and configuration based. Any proposed enforcement change should follow change control, testing and rollback planning.
What teams should take part?
Email administrators, identity teams, security operations and owners of payment or sensitive-data processes can each provide necessary context.
