Why MSPs Should Offer Email Protection with Heimdal

Email, despite being one of the oldest digital communication tools, remains at the heart of business operations. And precisely because of its ubiquity, it continues to be the most exploited attack vector by cybercriminals. Today, more than 90% of cyberattacks start with a malicious email, disguised as invoices, tech support messages, or even internal communications that look legitimate.

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), this creates a double challenge: protecting their clients from constant risks and standing out in a highly competitive market. The answer lies in Heimdal Email Security, a solution designed to detect and block threats before they reach the end user.

Email as an Attack Vector

Modern email attacks go far beyond simple spam. They are sophisticated operations designed to trick recipients and infiltrate corporate systems.

Key risks include:

  • Spear phishing: personalized emails with forged logos, signatures, and corporate styling.
  • Malicious attachments: from harmless-looking PDFs to Office macros that deploy ransomware.
  • Business Email Compromise (BEC): impersonating executives or vendors to divert funds.
  • Fraudulent links: fake portals designed to steal credentials.

Just one careless click can cause a multimillion-dollar incident.

The Limits of Traditional Protection

Many businesses still rely on basic filters or built-in protections from providers like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. While these block known threats, they struggle against evolving attacks or social engineering techniques.

For MSPs managing multiple clients, relying solely on these tools means leaving significant gaps.

    Heimdal detects suspicious links, newly registered domains, typosquatting, and deceptive tactics.
  3. Malware and attachment blocking
