Our email filtering service blocks spam, bulk marketing, known phishing attempts, malware-laden attachments, and emails from blacklisted senders before they reach your inbox. ### How do you handle false positives in email filtering? We configure quarantine policies that hold suspicious emails for review rather than silently deleting them. ### Can email filtering stop ransomware? Email filtering is one of the most effective first lines of defence against ransomware delivered via email. ### Do we need email filtering if we already use Microsoft 365? Microsoft 365 includes Exchange Online Protection as a baseline, but its default settings leave significant gaps. ### How quickly is email filtering deployed? For Microsoft 365 environments, we typically complete email filtering configuration within one to two business days.
