How do I protect business email from spam and phishing?

Business email security is built on several levels: anti-virus and anti-spam filters, domain authentication, strong passwords and trained people.

From our office in Cantù, in the province of Como, we manage mailboxes on the company domain for businesses in Como, Brianza, Milan and Canton Ticino. No system guarantees total protection, but a good configuration and the right habits greatly reduce the risks of spam, phishing and stolen credentials.

Services of interest

Business email is protected with anti-virus and anti-spam filters on the mailboxes, up-to-date systems and users who are careful with attachments. In Cantù, for companies in Como and Brianza, NewVisibility sets up mailboxes on the company domain protected in this way, without promising total protection.

A phishing email can be recognised by a suspicious sender, urgent tone, links that point elsewhere and requests for passwords or payments. If in doubt, do not click and check through another channel. This advice applies to companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Ticino.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC are three email authentication systems: SPF lists the servers authorised to send, DKIM signs the message, DMARC decides what to do if the checks fail. They are good practice for businesses in Como, Milan and Lugano.

Emails end up in spam because of missing or incorrect domain authentication, suspicious content, poorly maintained recipient lists or a weak sender reputation. From Cantù, the NewVisibility team helps companies in Como, Brianza and Milan understand where their email gets blocked.

To limit emails sent in your company's name, you configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC in the domain's DNS and check the authorised senders. No measure eliminates the risk, but it reduces it considerably, also for businesses between Cantù, Como and Milan.

If a mailbox is compromised, change the password straight away, close active sessions, check forwarding rules and filters and notify your contacts. If you need support in Como, Brianza or Milan, the NewVisibility team in Cantù can help you with the first steps.

In the province of Como you can turn to NewVisibility, a web agency in Cantù with an in-house team, our own managed servers and direct support. We manage domains, mailboxes with anti-virus and anti-spam and PEC for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, without promising total protection.

Two-factor authentication asks for a second check in addition to the password, such as a code from an app or phone, and makes it much harder to access the mailbox if the password is discovered. It is good practice for companies in Como, Brianza and Lugano.

To defend against payment scams, check every IBAN change or urgent request with a phone call to a number you already know, with a double check on significant payments. These rules apply to companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.

A company in Monza finds in NewVisibility an in-house team in Cantù, in the province of Como, our own managed servers and direct support with no intermediaries, plus international CSSDA awards for the websites we build. We support businesses in Brianza, Milan and Ticino, without promising total protection.

The TXT record holds free text and is used to verify domain ownership and to publish email rules such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC. From our Cantù office we manage it for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan, keeping the records tidy and documented.

With the mailbox of a former employee it is advisable to change the password, decide who new messages are forwarded to, set an automatic reply and archive whatever needs to be kept. For privacy aspects, ask a legal consultant. For companies in Como and Brianza our Cantù team can help.

A PEC to an ordinary email can generally be sent, but the full guarantees of certified email apply between PEC mailboxes. For special cases it is best to consult a professional. NewVisibility, in Cantù (Como), configures PEC and ordinary email for companies in Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

Having direct server support means that, when work is needed, NewVisibility does it without going through an outside supplier. From our Cantù office you have a single contact for website and hosting, with people who know your project, in Como, Brianza and Milan.

To check the email migration, you test sending and receiving, compare the folders with the original, check devices and DNS and keep the old system active for safety. NewVisibility, in Cantù (Como), carries out these checks for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
