Email threats are constantly evolving—and even with robust security systems in place, no solution is perfect 100% of the time. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure your defences are agile, responsive, and user-informed.

The good news? MESH Email Security has introduced a powerful new tool to help do just that: the Report Spam and Phishing Button.

This update allows end users to report suspicious emails directly from their Outlook inbox, giving both your internal team and the MESH detection engine valuable insights to fine-tune spam filtering. In this article, we’ll explain what the new feature does, how it benefits your organisation, and how to set it up correctly, plus a few best practices to help your users get the most out of it.

Let’s be honest — cybersecurity isn’t always the most thrilling subject. But when you’re the one responsible for keeping your business running smoothly, safely, and without disruption, it becomes a lot more relevant. Especially when you consider just how much of your business depends on the internet — emails, cloud apps, video calls, file sharing, customer databases — the list goes on.

That’s where Cisco Umbrella comes in. It’s one of those tools that doesn’t shout for attention, but quietly plays a vital role behind the scenes for many businesses. Think of it like a security guard standing at the digital doors of your business, checking every visitor before they come in.

Let’s unpack what that really means.

We rely on the cloud for almost everything these days — emails, shared documents, project timelines, and collaboration tools. It’s all just… there, when we need it. Convenient, efficient, and supposedly safe. But what if, tomorrow, it wasn’t?

It’s not something most people think about until they have to. A file gets deleted. An account is compromised. Maybe someone leaves the company, and with them goes a chunk of your data. Or worse — a ransomware attack locks up your files, and your only options are to pay up or start from scratch.

That’s where Datto SaaS Protection+ comes in. It’s not another app you need to learn. It’s not a technical nightmare. It’s more like a safety net, working quietly in the background, catching anything that might slip through the cracks.

Phishing attacks have become one of the most common—and costly—cybersecurity threats facing businesses today. Whether it’s a convincing email that looks like it’s from your bank or a message claiming to be from a colleague, these scams are designed to trick you into handing over sensitive information.

At Carden IT Services, we believe awareness is the first step in protecting your business. In this article, we’ll explore the dangers of phishing attacks, how to recognise a phishing attack, and—most importantly—how to defend against them.
