Security & Email Protection

Keeping your business properly protected shouldn’t mean drowning in technical jargon or buying more than you actually need. We help Melbourne businesses put practical, effective protection in place for their Macs, their email and their data, in plain English.

Protecting your Macs from ransomware and malware

Macs see fewer issues with traditional viruses than PCs, but ransomware and privacy-invading malware are real and increasing risks for any business. We help set up simple, affordable protection, and if you’re already worried something’s gone wrong, we’ll check things over properly and help put it right, not just run a quick scan and call it done.

Email spam and threat protection

Junk email isn’t just annoying, it’s a genuine security risk. Phishing attempts, invoice scams and malicious attachments are constantly evolving, and there are several genuinely different tools we work with depending on what suits your business, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

We’ll also help you configure the technical settings behind the scenes, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, that protect your email domain’s reputation and reduce the chance of your own emails being flagged as spam by other people’s inboxes.

Barracuda email security & business continuity

Barracuda covers far more than spam filtering. Its suite includes email security with spam and phishing detection, account takeover protection to catch compromised logins before real damage is done, incident response tools to investigate and contain a threat quickly if something does get through, and Microsoft 365 cloud-to-cloud backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data. For businesses wanting a single vendor covering both email protection and Microsoft 365 backup, Barracuda is a genuinely strong option. See our Backup & Recovery page for more on how Barracuda’s backup fits alongside Dropsuite as a Microsoft 365 backup option.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365

For businesses already on Microsoft 365, Defender for Office 365 protects Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive against phishing and malicious links, and can be added as a plan add-on rather than a separate product. See our Microsoft 365 & Email page for more on how this fits alongside your existing Microsoft 365 setup.

Sophos, endpoint and email protection combined

For businesses wanting one comprehensive solution rather than several separate tools, Sophos combines endpoint protection for Mac with email protection for Microsoft 365, covering malware, ransomware and phishing under a single, manageable setup. This is our preferred solution overall, we can help you work out whether it fits your business and get it properly configured.

Encryption and security reviews

For businesses handling sensitive information, whether that’s client records, financial data, or anything else you’d rather not lose, we help set up encryption on your Mac’s internal or external drives, put secure networking equipment in place, and carry out a security review of your current setup, drawing on experience across industries where data handling matters more than most.
