Phishing and spear phishing
Credential-harvesting pages, malicious attachments and never-seen-before links, including QR-code phishing (quishing) that hides the payload in an image.
The email threats we stop
Secure email gateways were built for spam and malware. The attacks that cause real loss today are quiet, targeted and text-only.
Business Email Compromise
Invoice fraud, payroll diversion, supplier-account changes and CEO fraud — clean messages with no malware, detected through behaviour and language, not signatures.
Account takeover
Compromised internal mailboxes sending lateral phishing to colleagues, customers and partners, caught by scanning internal traffic as well as inbound mail.
Impersonation and deepfakes
Look-alike domains, display-name spoofing, VIP impersonation and AI-generated voice or video follow-ups to an email request.
How our anti-phishing protection works
We connect to your tenant through API, learn normal communication behaviour for every mailbox, and judge each message on intent and relationship rather than on signatures alone. Confirmed threats are removed automatically from every mailbox that received them, and your users become a detection sensor instead of a liability.
- API-based deployment for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — no MX change, no agents
- Adaptive AI baseline of who normally emails whom, in what tone, about what
- Automated remediation that pulls a malicious message from every affected mailbox
- Inbox-level scanning of internal and external traffic, not just the perimeter
- Phishing simulation and security-awareness training for employees
- One-click user reporting banner that feeds the detection model
- SIEM, SOAR, XDR and EDR integration so incidents land in your existing workflow
- Per-mailbox licensing with annual or pro-rata terms, managed in the Lion Group portal

Email security FAQ: phishing, BEC and authentication
What is email security?
Email security is the set of controls that protect mailboxes and email traffic from phishing, business email compromise, malware, account takeover and data loss. Modern email security works inside the mailbox through API integration with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, rather than as a gateway in front of it, so it can inspect internal mail as well as inbound mail.
What is Business Email Compromise (BEC)?
Business Email Compromise is a targeted attack in which an attacker impersonates an executive, employee, supplier or partner to trick someone into approving a payment, changing bank details or sharing sensitive data. BEC messages usually carry no malware or malicious link, so signature-based email filters let them through. Detection relies on behavioural baselines, sender-relationship graphs and natural-language analysis of intent and tone.
Does Microsoft 365 need extra anti-phishing protection?
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace block high-volume commodity spam and known malware well. They are far weaker against low-volume, socially engineered attacks: BEC, VIP impersonation, supplier fraud, QR-code phishing (quishing) and deepfake-assisted requests. That gap is why most organisations add a dedicated anti-phishing layer on top of their native protection.
What is DMARC and how does it relate to email security?
DMARC tells receiving mail servers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM authentication, which stops attackers spoofing your own domain. It protects your outbound identity and your brand, while inbound anti-phishing protects your people. You need both — see our DMARC management page for how Lion Group runs enforcement for you.
How quickly can email security be deployed?
With native API integration deployment takes minutes: no MX record change, no mail-flow risk, no endpoint agents. Historical mailbox scanning starts immediately, so you see the phishing and BEC attempts already sitting in mailboxes on day one.
Also need to stop domain spoofing?
DMARC enforcement protects the mail you send. We run it as a managed service.
