- Scanning of inbound email traffic to identify and flag potential phishing attempts
- Use of AI, machine learning, anti-phishing and anti-malware engines to distinguish between safe and risky content
- Risky email quarantining to ensure that potentially malicious emails are removed from users' inboxes and sent to a dedicated quarantine area for further inspection
- Real-time alerts to notify MSPs about phishing attempts
Guardz launched its cybersecurity solutions for MSPs in April 2023. Along with its phishing protection solution, Guardz provides ransomware protection and data loss prevention solutions. It also offers an affiliate program for MSPs and other technology providers.
