Zero Trust Email Security
Email security needed a new trust foundation, so we built it.
Traditional approaches to email security make trust decisions based on message sources or content analysis. These methods are easily spoofed and manipulated, especially with the rise of AI. Shield’s zero trust foundation is built around each user’s unique communication patterns.
By automatically learning who your clients interact with and how they handle messages, Shield creates a trust network of verified contacts. Its adaptive intelligence (AI) uses behavior-based email filtering to personalize protection for each user, delivering only the emails they want with no extra effort required.
Why It’s Time to Replace Legacy Email Filters for Good
Clients Decide What's Safe
Every email demands a decision: Is it safe? Should I trust it? Most clients aren’t qualified to make these decisions.
No One Tool Can Do The Job
Legacy gateways can’t catch internal threats. API solutions react too late. You’re forced to stitch together multiple solutions to provide comprehensive protection for your clients.
Trust Is The Default Setting
Traditional tools make trust decisions for you. Anyone with your email address can demand your attention at any time, turning your inbox into an open door for distraction and risk.
Threat Intelligence
Email protection that evolves as quickly as threats do.
Phishing, spoofing, and impersonation attacks are constantly evolving—and legacy filters can’t keep up. Shield uses multiple layers of behavioral intelligence to detect and stop both known and emerging threats before they ever reach the inbox.
As attack patterns change, Shield adapts in real time—giving MSPs a smarter, self-improving defense that protects users from the latest phishing, impersonation, and spoofing tactics.
Heads-Up Display
Dynamic security insights, never static banners.
Other vendors’ security banners just create noise without adding real protection. Shield’s Heads-Up Display shows real-time security insights that update instantly as you work. Using clear color signals—green means trusted, red means risky—these dynamic insights help you feel more confident with good messages and more careful with suspicious ones.
The HUD works with any email client, without any apps or plugins to install or update. It also provides one-click access to a key feature called X-ray.
X-ray
Security findings made human.
X-ray is a secure email client, letting you safely preview any message while revealing what’s happening behind the scenes. See inside each email to understand its true security story, explained in plain English so you can make confident, informed decisions.
“Every time users go into X-ray, it shows them exactly why something might be suspicious and teaches better security habits in real-time. It’s organic security awareness training.”
— Zachary Kinder, Net-Tech Consulting

Bundler
Because some emails can wait.
Not every email needs your attention right now, even if you want to read it eventually. Shield’s Bundler automatically collects these non-urgent messages in a separate folder, keeping your inbox focused on what matters most today.
You’ll get reminded to review your bundled messages on your schedule. Use Shield’s optimized reader view or stay in your email client; it’s your choice. With Shield’s reader view, AI-generated message summaries help you quickly get the gist of each email so you can move on with your day.

Lockbox provides an extra layer of protection for sensitive emails. Messages can only be unlocked using multi-factor authentication, so your messages are secure even if your email account is compromised.
Burner Addresses
Create temporary addresses on the fly, customize how messages sent to that address are delivered, and burn them when you want to stop receiving emails.
Shield Control
Control is the administrative side of Shield, built directly into the product interface. Manage your organizations, adjust risk levels, and easily respond to users’ requests to verify if an email is safe.
Spy Tracker Blocking
Shield automatically removes spy trackers before they hit your inbox to protect your privacy.
VIP Pass
Anyone who emails you at this address will be trusted for immediate delivery. Messages are still run through the threat security layer first, so you’ll always know they are safe to interact with.
Enhances M365
Shield works with Microsoft 365, not against it. Shield even fixes some of the shortcomings of Microsoft’s security, like when messages you want get repeatedly put into junk or held in the quarantine.
