Client Challenge: Securing Communication Channels

In a data-sensitive industry like clinical research, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of communications is critical. Email continues to be the top vector for cyber threats—including phishing, malware, and spoofing. The organisation needed:

  • A secure email communication system
  • Protection from phishing, spam, and malicious attachments
  • Prevention of data leakage through email
  • Advanced threat detection and email content filtering

Their existing infrastructure lacked a comprehensive approach to preventing evolving email-based attacks, making them vulnerable to malicious intrusions.

ECS’ Tailored Email Security Services

Recognising the high stakes involved, ECS deployed its advanced Email Security Solutions to fortify the client’s communication systems. With the cyber threat landscape growing more sophisticated, ECS conducted a thorough audit of the client’s email infrastructure to identify all potential points of vulnerability.

To meet the client’s critical security needs, ECS selected the Fortinet Email Security Platform. This globally trusted platform delivers:

  • Over 99.7% spam detection rate with near-zero false positives
  • Multi-layered malware detection
  • Anti-phishing and URL threat protection
  • Seamless integration with the existing IT ecosystem
  • Real-time monitoring and email flow analysis

Our email protection solutions were implemented to ensure complete security of all internal and external communications. The platform offered enterprise-grade controls, empowering the client to stay ahead of both known and emerging email threats.

Results: Enhanced Email Security Posture

Post-implementation, the client reported a dramatic reduction in spam and phishing emails. With ECS’ email security services, they achieved:

  • Stronger protection of sensitive research data
  • Improved employee awareness and reduced threat execution via email
  • Proactive defence measures across their email infrastructure
  • Full compliance with regulatory and industry-specific data protection standards

By securing entry points and implementing a layered defence strategy, ECS not only mitigated existing threats but also fortified the organisation’s future-readiness against cyberattacks.
