Intelligent. Complete. MailGuard.

Email spam filter for companies with proactive phishing protection and malware defense. MailGuard blocks threats directly in the gateway before they reach the inbox.

What MailGuard does

Attacks blocked before they land.

Multi-layered detection against the most common threats — click through.

Phishing and spear-phishing — caught in real time.

MailGuard analyses content, sender behaviour and link structure. Suspicious mails never reach the inbox — without false alarms in day-to-day work.

  • URL rewriting with reputation check at time of click
  • Detects brand impersonation: Microsoft, DHL, banks & more
  • Learns from your mail flow — few false positives
  • Reports show risk sources, trends and click rates

Attachments are unpacked, inspected and disarmed.

Suspicious Office documents and archives are unpacked recursively, checked for their true file type and stripped of macros and active content. Detects macro loaders and executables disguised as images.

  • True file type by signature, not just the extension
  • Protects from macro malware, loaders and active content in PDF and Office files
  • Quarantine with one-click release for IT admins
  • Hidden attachments in encrypted archives are detected

Fake executive emails — automatically flagged.

Fraud detection catches when someone impersonates a manager or accounting, even from an external account that looks like an internal one.

  • Display-name spoofing flagged instantly
  • Lookalike domains (e.g. Cyrillic letters) filtered
  • Suspicious payment requests are held, not delivered
  • Optional awareness training: phishing simulations included

Spam detection with a configurable threshold, without losing important mail.

Multi-layered filter with real-time reputation: rspamd rules, Spamhaus lists, fuzzy hashes and our own heuristics complement each other. Quarantine with self-service for end users.

  • Multi-layered: rspamd, Spamhaus reputation, fuzzy hashes, heuristics
  • Quarantine self-service with daily digest
  • Whitelist/blacklist per user, group or domain
  • Bypass for newsletters and transactional mail

Accidental data leaks — automatically prevented.

Detects sensitive content (IBAN, patient data, contracts) and blocks or encrypts before sending. Protects you from expensive GDPR incidents.

  • Detects structured data: IBAN, patient ID, credit card
  • Reacts by rule: block, encrypt, warn
  • OCR for images and PDFs — no leak via screenshot
  • Audit log for data protection officers and compliance

Frequently Asked Questions about Conbool MailGuard

Why is the standard spam filter of Microsoft 365 or Exchange not sufficient?
Conbool MailGuard closes critical security gaps of standard filters, especially with targeted phishing campaigns, CEO fraud, and zero-day malware. Through cloud attachment inspection with CDR, modern heuristics, and multi-stage analysis, we intercept threats before they reach the Microsoft ecosystem and thus the inbox.
How does MailGuard protect against retroactively manipulated links and attachments?
Incoming URLs are rewritten and checked against reputation and malware feeds at the time of click, including Spamhaus DBL, zero-reputation domains and PhishTank. This also blocks links redirected to a malicious site after delivery. File attachments are unpacked, checked for their true file type and stripped of macros and active content before delivery.
Can the platform stop unintentional data loss (DLP)?
Yes, integrated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) filters automatically analyze outgoing messages for sensitive information such as credit card data, IBANs, or defined company secrets. These emails can be centrally blocked, forwarded to compliance officers, or – in conjunction with SecureMail – automatically encrypted.
How does our IT department maintain control over false positives?
MailGuard offers a multi-tenant governance console with detailed live message tracking. Administrators can granularly set quarantine policies, while end users can safely release harmless emails themselves through regular quarantine reports (digests), which relieves the IT helpdesk.
Does the deep email inspection slow down our communication?
No, the entire engine of Conbool is designed for highest enterprise performance. The complex analyses take place in the millisecond range, so the email flow for business operations remains virtually delay-free.
Can security policies be adapted for different departments?
The ruleset can be segmented very precisely. For example, you can define more restrictive filters and stricter CDR rules for management or the finance department than for general newsletter or info mailboxes.
