Email security gateway helps to reduce cyber security risks arising from phishing emails (i.e., personal & institutional data leaks, malicious URLs for credentials stealing, virus and ransomware distribution via attachments, and financial loss with business email compromise). It leverages AI and machine learning technology to identify and quarantine spam, phishing or fraudulent email with its global intelligence from worldwide customers and global IP reputation databases.

Quarantined Email Digest is sent daily at 5:30pm with the sender’s address quarantine.email@cityu.edu.hk and subject “Quarantined Email Digest: xx new Messages”.

The email security gateway enables a "URL Defense" feature to protect you from malicious URLs in external emails. When you receive an external email that contains a URL, the URL will be rewritten with a prefix “https://urldefense.com/v3/”. You can identify the protected links when you hover your mouse cursor on the links. When you click on a link, the URL Defense will evaluate the destination website. If the website is identified as malicious, you will be prompted with a warning web page. If the website is identified as safe, you will be able to access the site.
When you click on the rewritten URL, the email security gateway will check the destination website against global threat databases. If the website is identified as malicious, a warning message will be prompted as below when you click on that URL. If the website is recognised as safe, you will be able to access it safely.
