Multi-Tier Email Protection: Reducing Business Email Compromise Risk with IRONSCALES
Business Email Compromise (BEC) has rapidly evolved into one of the most damaging cyber threats facing UK businesses today. With attackers becoming more sophisticated, relying on traditional email security solutions is no longer sufficient. A modern, multi-tier approach is critical to detect, prevent, and respond to threats in real-time.
At Intology, we help organisations implement robust, intelligent email security solutions—like IRONSCALES—to create a multi-layered defence strategy that protects against evolving email-based attacks.
What is Business Email Compromise (BEC)?
Business Email Compromise is a type of cybercrime where attackers impersonate a company executive or trusted partner to trick employees into transferring funds or sharing sensitive data. These attacks are:
Highly targeted and socially engineered
Often bypass traditional security filters
Cost UK businesses millions annually
Why Multi-Tier Email Protection is Essential
A single-layer defence leaves gaps for attackers to exploit. Multi-tier email protection leverages multiple security layers to reduce the risk of BEC:
Gateway Filtering: Blocks known threats at the perimeter.
Advanced Threat Protection: Uses AI and machine learning to detect unknown and sophisticated phishing attempts.
Inbox Detection & Response (IDR): Flags suspicious content that makes it past traditional filters.
User Awareness & Training: Empowers staff to recognise and report phishing attempts.
Automated Remediation: Removes malicious emails from all inboxes swiftly.
Each layer complements the others, significantly lowering the chance of successful attacks.
