Intermedia Email Protection Gets New Anti-Phishing Features

Total phishing attacks surpassed 1.2 million in 2016 – a year-over-year increase of 65 percent.

… Intermedia LinkSafe™ for sophisticated point-of-click protection against malicious URLs that would take readers to known phishing sites. While the industry has traditionally only made this type of malicious link protection available at higher price points, Intermedia includes sophisticated email security techniques in its offering to SMBs and the partners that serve them.

Email and security integration create new opportunities for partners

“Email fraud has evolved, and it is no longer enough to have email protection against just malware and viruses contained within attachments. Phishing and ransomware have become huge threats to businesses of all sizes. The channel community has a real opportunity to help companies defend themselves while also differentiating their own offerings. These Intermedia Email Protection features will be valuable to every mailbox a partner sells and can be sold under the partner’s own brand,” concluded Smith.
