Email Security

Fortify your email communication against threats with our advanced email security measures.

The methods used by cyber criminals to gain unauthorised access to systems and data are becoming more sophisticated by the day. With between 75% and 90%, of targeted cyber-attacks beginning with an email. Hackers target unprotected business email accounts to deceive employees and con people into handing over money and data, either by asking them to follow a malicious link or posing as another person (usually a stakeholder).

Sharp’s email security services are used to protect and secure email communications, accounts, and services from unauthorised access or compromise.

Endpoint Security

With flexible working becoming the norm, ensuring a high level of cyber security protection across all endpoints is crucial. Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and criminals are taking advantage of new working methods. 

From phishing emails to malware, we are seeing criminals take advantage of the fact we are not all in the office and cannot turn to our colleagues or IT team for advice or to confirm an email or link is safe.

With Endpoint Security Solutions from Sharp, you have peace of mind that your devices are monitored and secure, regardless of your team's location.
