Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Phishing Protection Scans and alerts to any phishing attempts of incoming emails from external sources, and blocks any attempts if there is click-through.

Malware Blocking Blocking of emails containing malicious attachments. This may include immediate deletion or quarantining of the emails in question.

User Flagging of Suspicious Emails The end-user has the ability to flag suspicious emails in their inbox and junk folders.

Email Account Protection Security measures preventing your mailboxes from being hijacked or intercepted by third party malicious actors.

End-User Warnings in Email Client Software Service will place a banner in the email message warning of a possible hazard, if an email passes the software's security scrutiny but still looks suspicious.
