Industry trends, challenges and email resilience
The email security industry has become increasingly critical as organisations contend with rapidly evolving cyber threats. Traditional perimeter defences are no longer sufficient; advanced protection requires intelligence that adapts to new attack vectors such as whaling, domain spoofing and zero-day exploits. SMX’s layered security filters reflect this shift, emphasising both pre-emptive threat detection and post-delivery analytics.
Compliance and data governance are also central in sectors such as government and finance, where retention policies and audit trails are mandatory. SMX’s secure archiving and detailed reporting tools help organisations meet these requirements without imposing undue operational burden.
Cloud adoption adds complexity: integrating third-party security into platforms like Microsoft 365 requires seamless compatibility, real-time threat intelligence feeds and scalable infrastructure. SMX’s approach, with local support teams in both Australia and New Zealand, caters to regional regulatory landscapes while supporting global email security needs.
Innovation in email security continues with services such as domain-wide adoption of DMARC (domain-based message authentication), brand protection and executive threat training — all aimed at reducing spoofing risks and building organisational resilience.
