Recently, we published our white paper “Email Security Without Compromise – the MDaemon Approach.” In this post, we’re sharing our latest white paper, which details how SecurityGateway intercepts email threats before they reach Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, or any other mail server — with multi-layered protection, deep administrative visibility, and full deployment flexibility.
Our new white paper covers MDaemon's layered defense strategy, enterprise-grade security features, and why it's a compelling alternative to Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365.
SecurityGateway includes AI email classification for stronger protection against email-borne threats.
In an age where cyber threats are growing in both sophistication and frequency, securing your email infrastructure is more important than ever. MDaemon includes a variety of tools and settings that can help administrators protect their users and connected devices from spam, malware, hacking attempts, data breaches, and email spoofing.
Email is still the number one way attackers get into an organization. In 2025, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) logged more than $20.8 billion in reported losses, a 26% jump over the prior year, and business email compromise (BEC) alone accounted for roughly $3 billion of that total. For managed service providers (MSPs), those figures are more than an industry headline. When a client gets hit, the MSP is the one who has to explain what happened, clean up the damage, and answer the hard question of why the defenses did not hold.
Threat actors are continuing their assault on businesses, individuals, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) this year, and email is still the top vector. As your clients turn to you for secure services, you need to make sure you have the right email security solution in place to protect your customers.
For hackers, it's a numbers game. An estimated 3.4 billion phishing emails are sent every day, but all they need is for one of them to find a willing victim and do damage to your network.
And in 2026, the odds have shifted further in the attacker's favor. Generative AI now writes the majority of phishing emails, producing fluent, personalized, typo-free messages that are far harder to spot than the clumsy scams of a few years ago. Research shows AI-crafted phishing lures achieve dramatically higher click rates than traditional ones, while costing attackers almost nothing to produce at scale.
Needless to say, leaving email security up to end users is probably not a good idea.
2020 has been a banner year for cybercriminals. They have stolen billions of dollars and data on billions of individuals by preying on widespread fear and uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A brief glance through my spam folder in MDaemon Webmail recently reminded me of the need for on-going education on the topic of phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams. I’d like to be able to tell you that the recent crush of cyberattacks on the healthcare sector, as exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has run its course – but then I’d be the one scamming. Looking through the latest Health IT Security monthly news archive turns up a long litany of phishing, ransomware, malware, spoofing, password theft and other data leaks, and server vulnerabilities that affect millions of patients and financial donors – and it’s not even the end of the month.
It's just a fact of life: If there's email, there will always be spam. If you’re involved with email security for a healthcare organization, 2020 is absolutely the year you can’t afford not to take this seriously. The healthcare sector has become a major target for cyberattacks during the COVID-19 pandemic, and these attacks are successful so often that Becker’s Hospital Review publishes a monthly update on healthcare provider malware, ransomware and phishing incidents. The most recent list includes:
