Email Security for the Public Sector

OPSWAT provides a zero-trust email security solution, where no email or attached file is trusted. This approach protects institutions against advanced email threats, including malware and phishing. It protects communications while safeguarding sensitive data from breaches, helping maintain services and operations.

In the public sector, protecting email systems against unknown and zero-day malware, exploits, and phishing attacks is a top priority. Best-in-class cybersecurity solutions are necessary to secure citizen data, uphold public confidence, and guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of government services. Whether they are a federal organization or a local government institution, our email security solutions provide the relevant defense to modern cyber threats.

Provide Safe and Reliable Government Services

Citizens depend on public service organizations to protect them and their information while operating efficiently to accomplish everyday tasks. A public sector email security solution assists by protecting a vital communication channel from individual threat actors to nation-state cyberattacks.

A comprehensive email security solution protects your organization and the people it serves by:

  • Keeping citizen records, classified data, and confidential communications secure when sent between departments or even externally
  • Safeguarding national security by protecting organizations like law enforcement and defense from breaches that could compromise critical systems
  • Meeting local, state, and federal data protection regulations like privacy laws
  • Adding efficiency to operations by establishing a secure channel for collaboration and information sharing
CHALLENGE
Zero-day Malware

Zero-day malware can bypass detection by a single or few anti-malware engines. Varied anti-malware engine outbreak response times, due to location or market focus, increase risk of breach

SOLUTION
Multiscanning - Defense Layer
  • Detection of zero-day malware and advanced threats using up to 30 anti-malware engines with heuristics & ML
  • Reduction of false positives with multiple engines
