Your Email Is the Front Door
Cyber attacks begin long before you notice them, and your inbox is usually where they start. Labyrinth Technology provides email security solutions that stop threats before they reach your team.
Business email compromise is costly
Financial losses from compromised email accounts regularly reach tens of thousands of pounds, even for small businesses.
94% of malware arrives via email
Email is the single most common delivery route for malicious software, making it the highest-priority area to secure.
Multi-factor authentication is your first line of defence
Implementing multi-factor authentication on email accounts makes credential theft alone insufficient to gain access.
Why Email Attacks Are Getting Harder to Spot
Email security is one of the most pressing challenges businesses face today. Phishing attacks have become far more convincing, with cyber criminals crafting messages that closely mimic legitimate suppliers, colleagues, or even senior staff. It is no longer enough to tell employees to “be careful.” Phishing emails, malicious attachments, and malicious links now routinely bypass basic filters, and a single click can hand an attacker access to your entire account.
Business email compromise is particularly damaging, because once an attacker gains access to a real email account, they can impersonate that person to authorise payments or extract confidential data. With data protection laws growing stricter, a breach does not just cost money, it can carry serious regulatory consequences too. A proper cyber security strategy addresses email as a priority, not an afterthought.
How Labyrinth Technology Strengthens Your Email Security Posture
Email security services from Labyrinth Technology take a layered approach, because no single tool covers every angle. The first step is ensuring multi-factor authentication is active across all email accounts, which makes unauthorised access extremely difficult even when login credentials have been stolen. On top of that, Labyrinth Technology configures email security platforms including tools like Microsoft Defender and Mimecast to filter spam messages, block malicious emails, and detect phishing attempts in real time. Sender Policy Framework and DomainKeys Identified Mail records are set up correctly to reduce the risk of domain spoofing. Where needed, email encryption is applied to protect sensitive information in transit.
Labyrinth Technology also delivers security awareness training so your team can recognise suspicious emails before they cause harm, building a proactive security culture that works alongside your technical controls. For businesses that want broader protection beyond the inbox, managed security services from Labyrinth Technology cover continuous monitoring and threat response across your entire environment. For businesses handling sensitive data, data loss prevention policies can be configured to monitor outbound email and catch accidental or malicious data exposure before it leaves the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our IT services and solutions
Business email compromise occurs when a cyber criminal gains access to a legitimate email account and uses it to commit fraud. Because the emails come from a real account, they are far harder to detect. Attackers typically use this method to redirect invoice payments or request urgent transfers, and losses can be significant. It is one of the most financially damaging types of email attacks facing UK businesses right now.
The most common include phishing emails (designed to trick recipients into revealing login credentials or clicking malicious links), malware-carrying attachments, spam campaigns, and account takeover attacks where cyber criminals take control of an existing account to target colleagues or customers. Phishing campaigns are growing in volume and sophistication, with many now tailored specifically to the recipient's role or organisation.
Multi-factor authentication requires users to verify their identity with a second factor, typically a code sent to their phone, whenever they sign in on a new device or portal. This means that even if login credentials are stolen through credential theft, an attacker still cannot access the account without that second factor. It is one of the most effective email security measures available, and it comes included with most Microsoft 365 licences at no extra cost.
Technical controls can block the majority of threats, but some malicious emails will always get through. Security awareness training teaches employees how to spot phishing attempts, handle suspicious emails, and follow safe processes, particularly around invoice approval and financial requests. Labyrinth Technology partners with uSecure to deliver training that includes simulated phishing attacks and short video modules, reducing the risk of human error significantly.
Yes. Labyrinth Technology works with businesses running both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, configuring appropriate email security tools, authentication protocols, and monitoring for each platform. Whether you are cloud-based, on-premises, or running a hybrid setup, the approach is adapted to fit your environment.
Labyrinth Technology covers the full range of email security measures, including multi-factor authentication setup, email security software configuration (such as Microsoft Defender and Mimecast), spam filtering, email encryption, device management for mobile email access, and security awareness training. For businesses that need it, data loss prevention policies and continuous email monitoring can also be put in place to protect sensitive data and support regulatory compliance.
If your business is not using multi-factor authentication, has not configured Sender Policy Framework or DomainKeys Identified Mail records, and has no formal security awareness training programme, there are almost certainly gaps in your email security posture. Labyrinth Technology can review your current setup, identify weaknesses, and put a practical plan in place to close them. A conversation costs nothing, and the alternative can be expensive.
