The one constant in cybersecurity is the fact that email remains the top reason for network and data breaches. From social-engineering attacks to malicious attachments, email presents a threat to businesses of every shape and industry. More than ever, advanced email security is needed to ensure this vital channel of communication remains safe and productive.
Research from Deloitte found that 91% of all cyberattacks begin with a phishing email to an unsuspecting victim. Further, 32% of all successful data breaches involved the use of phishing techniques. Phishing is a large part of the expanding Internet crime environment; The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) fielded more than 800,000 complaints in 2022 alone, which led to more than $10 billion in estimated losses.
While the losses are staggering in scope, it’s important to remember that any business or organization can be targeted. In fact, more attacks are levied at small and mid-sized businesses than their larger brethren. Recent research shows that SMBs are three times more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals than larger companies. This is due to smaller organizations deploying fewer or dated security resources.
However, new technology and trusted managed services providers (MSP) can help level the field. Through them, every business can unlock the advanced email security they need to strengthen their perimeter. Here, we’ll examine one such new email security solution.

Empower Advanced Email Security with Graphus
Arnet Technologies has protected Ohio businesses with managed cybersecurity and IT services for more than a decade. Now, we’re adding to our robust cybersecurity package by partnering with Graphus.
Graphus is an automated email security platform that provides an additional security layer for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 users against phishing and social engineering attacks. This innovative solution utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and scan incoming emails, integrating with existing security measures through cloud APIs.
How Graphus Works
With no hardware components or software to download, Graphus uses AI to create trusted profiles based on how employees communicate with business contacts. It then seeks out irregularities, compared to the trusted profiles, in message content and attachments. Graphus becomes more effective with use as well, as user interaction and feedback provide more data and insight into how to defend against emerging threats.
This advanced email security tool offers multi-layered protection, essential in defending against business email compromise and social engineering attacks. Its effectiveness is built on three pillars of protection.
TrustGraph® — This patented AI technology analyzes historical and real-time communication patterns between people, devices, and networks. It automatically detects and quarantines malicious emails by pulling them out of all infected inboxes — even Zero-Day attacks it hasn’t encountered before.
Employee Shield® — This is an alert to employee recipients of a potentially suspicious message. It places an interactive warning banner at the top of the email that allows users to quarantine — or mark the message as safe — with a single click. It alerts users to potential dangers and empowers them to help augment your security by placing the message in quarantine, pulling it from all affected inboxes. If it’s a false alarm, it can be returned quickly.
Phish911(™) — While Employee Shield is the active alert, Phish911 is the technology that allows employees to proactive quarantine and report suspicious and unwanted emails for IT or admin to investigate further. These two components work in tandem to add another layer of protection.
How Graphus Improves Email Security
Quick and Easy Installation — With no convoluted configuration process, you can start protecting your business quickly through seamless cloud API integration. Forget weeks, Graphus can be ready to go in minutes.
No Email Delay — Because Graphus analyzes messages in real-time, there is no delay in delivery to your inbox. Safe messages are never quarantined.
Detects Zero-Day Attacks — Unlike a Secure Email Gateway (SEG) that relies on proven bad URLs to filter out potential attacks, the TrustGraph algorithm processes and detects potential new attacks based on real-time data collection.
Automated Defense — Graphus integrates at the API level to detect social engineering attacks, automatically, based on historical data and trusted profiles.
Visual Alerts — The platform provides employees with an impossible-to-miss warning about suspicious emails and the immediate means to address them.
