Overview

What the service does and how it fits into a customer-ready data protection strategy.

What it does

MailHive Email Security protects organisations from spam, malware, phishing attacks and other email-borne threats by filtering messages before they reach Microsoft 365, Exchange or other mail platforms.

Delivered as a cloud-based MX gateway service, inbound email passes through multiple layers of security inspection, helping identify malicious content, suspicious senders and unwanted messages before they reach end users. This reduces the likelihood of successful phishing attacks, malware infections and business email compromise while improving user productivity by keeping inboxes free from unwanted email.

A built-in quarantine portal allows users to safely review and release legitimate messages when required, reducing helpdesk requests and improving the user experience. Combined with centralised policy management, reporting and UK-based support, MailHive Email Security provides a simple and effective layer of protection for modern email environments.
