An enhanced level of email protection for your school
Strengthen your defence against online threats
Email is the most common way people are targeted for online attacks. To help protect schools and kura from the increasing number of email-based cyber threats, we offer an industry-leading inbound Email Protection solution. Any school, regardless of size, can be a potential target to attacks and should have increased levels of protection in place.
Email Protection provides an enhanced level of email security and added peace of mind. It’s fully funded for eligible schools by the Ministry of Education and it works together with schools’ existing Microsoft or Google email services.
Should an email-related incident arise, you’ll get a faster, more efficient response from our team. Take a look at an example of this in action.

How does it work with my Microsoft or Google email service?
You can view an example of how Email Protection works with Microsoft and Google here.
When emails are sent to school addresses, our Email Protection platform intercepts these to scan for security risks and filter out malicious emails.
The remaining emails are passed on to the school’s Google or Microsoft email service, which filter out further emails based on their respective settings.
Safe emails are delivered to school users’ inboxes.
