What is the best email protection for a small business?
A layered setup: the native filtering in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, an API-based anti-phishing layer that detects BEC and impersonation by behavior, MFA on every mailbox, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC enforcement on your domain. This covers inbound attacks and stops others spoofing you.
Is Microsoft 365 email protection enough?
It blocks most spam and known malware, but socially engineered attacks with no link or attachment — invoice fraud, CEO fraud, supplier account changes — often get through. Most organizations add a dedicated anti-phishing layer on top.
How long does it take to add email protection?
With API integration, minutes. There is no MX record change and no agents, and historical mailboxes are scanned on day one.
