Why Domain & Email Security Matters

Government domains and email systems are constantly targeted by automated bots, cybercriminals, and fraudsters seeking to:

  • • Impersonate government institutions
  • • Steal credentials and sensitive data
  • • Disrupt public digital services
  • • Defraud citizens, suppliers, and staff

A strong, shared security baseline significantly reduces incidents, lowers response costs, and protects public trust.

Email Authentication & Anti-Spoofing

  • DMARC – Prevents domain impersonation and fraud
  • SPF & DKIM – Ensures only authorized systems send emails
  • BIMI – Enables verified government branding in inboxes
  • MTA-STS & TLS-RPT – Enforces encrypted delivery

Government emails become trusted, authenticated, and protected.

Domain Health & Visibility

Real-time dashboards provide:

  • • Domain authentication status
  • • Compliance levels across protocols
  • • Misconfigurations and security gaps

ICT teams identify risks early and maintain continuous compliance.

Threat Intelligence & Monitoring

  • • Origin of malicious traffic
  • • Unauthorized sending attempts
  • • Trends targeting government domains

Supporting proactive defence and evidence-based decisions.

Web & Domain Protection

  • • Web Application Firewall (WAF)
  • • DDoS Protection
  • • Bot & Scanner Mitigation
  • • Continuous Monitoring & Alerting

Attacks are blocked before they impact public services.
