A secure email service for local authorities and cities

Local government IT departments manage a large number of cities, which can make their tasks both time-consuming and overwhelming. As a result, these IT teams are often overwhelmed and don't have the skills or resources to keep up with rapid cybersecurity developments. Among the many critical responsibilities, email protection is a sensitive one. Essential for both internal and external communication, its security cannot be neglected or compromised. Ignore it can lead to serious risks, such as phishing attacks and malware entering the system. This is why local authorities and other public sector organizations are increasingly relying on outsourced spam filtering solutions to protect their data and operations.

A beneficial email service

There are several advantages to implementing a cloud-based email protection solution. First, as email security threats become increasingly complex, outsourcing this responsibility ensures that maintenance and management are handled by professionals and experts in the field. These specialists have the most up-to-date knowledge and tools to effectively combat evolving email-borne threats. Additionally, cloud-based solutions typically offer the benefits of scalability and regular updates, ensuring that security measures remain current. This allows IT departments to focus on their core operations with the guarantee that their mailboxes and data are securely protected.

Moreover, implementing an anti-spam solution also helps users to keep their mailboxes less cluttered with unwanted or unjustified email. As a result, mailbox management is optimized and the risk of cyber-attacks and data leakage is significantly reduced. This not only streamlines mailbox management but also contributes to a more efficient workflow. By filtering spam and malicious emails, users can avoid wasting time on unnecessary messages. Users also benefit from access to a quarantine zone where they can review emails that have been securely blocked or release legitimate emails that do not comply with increasingly strict rules. This level of control ensures the solution maintains a balance between security and accessibility.
