Email Gateway

An Email Gateway is a security solution designed to filter, monitor, and manage email traffic entering and leaving an organisation’s network.

It acts as a barrier between an organisation’s internal email systems and external email sources, providing protection against threats such as spam, phishing, malware, and data breaches. Email gateways enforce security policies, ensuring that only legitimate and safe emails reach the intended recipients.

Key features of an Email Gateway include:

  • Filtering and blocking spam and malicious emails
  • Scanning for malware, phishing attempts, and other threats
  • Enforcing data loss prevention (DLP) policies to protect sensitive information

Implementing an Email Gateway involves:

  • Deploying the gateway to handle inbound and outbound email traffic
  • Configuring security policies and filters to address specific threats
  • Monitoring and analysing email traffic for ongoing security management

Email gateways are essential for safeguarding an organisation’s email communications, preventing threats, and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
