Email Security Is Business Security: How Cyberlogic Builds a 360° Shield Against Modern Email Threats
- Insights
Email is the heartbeat of modern business communication but it’s also the most exploited channel for cyber attacks. Whether it’s phishing, spoofing, ransomware delivery, or business email compromise (BEC), email remains the front door that threat actors try to kick in first.
Too many businesses underestimate how vulnerable their email systems are until it’s too late. We help organisations take a proactive, layered approach to email security by combining the right technologies, the right training, and the right strategic guidance.
We’ve built strong partnerships with leading security vendors like Sendmarc, KnowBe4, and Mimecast to help our clients defend against both human and technical attack vectors. Combined with our procurement, licensing, and lifecycle management services, our approach goes far beyond traditional “IT support.”
Here’s what you need to know about building a serious, scalable, and sustainable email security posture
Preventing Spoofing at the Source with DMARC
Sendmarc is a leading provider of DMARC solutions in the South African market and one of several trusted partners we’ve chosen to help protect our clients from email spoofing. By partnering with providers like Sendmarc, we ensure our clients have effective, scalable tools to secure their email domains.
A strong DMARC solution provides:
- A full suite of email authentication tools: DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT.
- Real-time visibility into spoofing attempts.
- Guided policy frameworks to transition smoothly from “monitoring” mode to full enforcement.
- Reporting dashboards to easily track and measure your domain security progress.
As global tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo tighten their requirements for email authentication, and regulators increasingly demand domain protection, DMARC has shifted from a “nice to have” to a non-negotiable.

Security Awareness Training: Strengthening Your Human Defences
Phishing remains the most successful method for breaching business systems, and no amount of software alone can fully protect against it. That’s because phishing targets people, not just machines. That’s why security awareness training isn’t optional anymore, it’s essential.
We work with leading security awareness training providers, including KnowBe4 and Mimecast, to equip your teams with the knowledge and skills needed to spot, report, and avoid phishing attempts.
Our comprehensive security awareness training includes:
- Customised phishing simulations that mimic real-world threats.
- Bite-sized, engaging training modules tailored by job role or risk level.
- Behavioural metrics to track improvement over time.
- Automated campaigns to reinforce security awareness consistently.
Many businesses fall into the trap of assuming that “common sense” will protect their staff. It won’t. Education is a frontline defence, and effective security awareness training makes that defence continuous, engaging, and effective.
Advanced Email Security and Continuity: Protecting Your Communications
Even with authentication and training in place, your email systems still need a perimeter. Think of it as the security guard that checks IDs at the gate before letting anyone into your inbox. That’s what an email security tool does. It works as an advanced platform that sits in front of your mail server, inspecting messages for known threats and suspicious behaviours in real time.
An effective email security solution provides:
- Advanced threat protection for both incoming and outgoing emails.
- AI-driven impersonation detection and sophisticated anti-spam filtering.
- Data loss prevention (DLP) measures and secure email encryption.
- Archiving, continuity, and disaster recovery capabilities to ensure resilience and business continuity.
For regulated industries and organisations managing sensitive customer data, advanced email security is critical. It helps you maintain compliance, secure sensitive information, and swiftly recover operations in the event of a disruption.
Our team collaborates with leading providers like Mimecast, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, and others to ensure comprehensive email security and continuity solutions tailored to your business needs.
A Unified Strategy for Email Security
Most companies don’t fail at email security because they don’t care; they fail because it’s fragmented. One team might handle training, another manages Microsoft 365, someone else owns compliance, and no one’s watching the big picture. We help clients design, deploy, and manage email security as part of a broader, long-term IT strategy. Our teams:
- Advise on risk, based on your industry and exposure.
- Procure the right hardware, software, and licensing to suit your needs and optimise your costs.
- Integrate solutions seamlessly into your IT environment.
- Support you with lifecycle management and expert oversight.
Our clients also benefit from strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, HP, SentinelOne, KnowBe4, and more.
Ready to Strengthen Your Email Security?
If your business relies on email, the question isn’t whether you need better security, it’s “what gaps are we leaving open?” Ask yourself:
- Have you implemented DMARC, SPF, and DKIM across all domains?
- Are your employees regularly trained to spot phishing threats?
- Is there a real-time filter catching malicious emails before they hit inboxes?
- Do employees have a clear process for reporting suspicious emails or potential security incidents to stakeholders?
- Are there regular internal communications or alerts to keep staff updated on emerging phishing tactics and malicious indicators?
- Is there a system in place to track and respond promptly when a phishing or malicious email is reported?
- Do you conduct phishing simulations, particularly during peak business periods to identify potential weaknesses among employees?
If the answer to any of those is “no” or “I’m not sure”, get in touch with our team and let’s talk about building a complete, business-aligned email security stack that doesn’t just tick compliance boxes but actually keeps your people and your data safe.
