Security experts often describe good protection as “defence in depth”: multiple layers, each designed to catch what the others might miss. No single tool stops every email threat, but several working together can stop almost all of them. Here’s how Smardove applies that principle to business email, layer by layer.
Layer 1: Domain authentication
Before a message is even judged, Smardove checks whether it is who it claims to be. Support for SPF, DKIM and DMARC helps stop criminals spoofing trusted domains, including yours.
Stops: spoofed emails and impersonation of your domain.
Layer 2: AI-driven antispam with SpamFoo
Every incoming message is analysed by SpamFoo’s AI-driven antispam engine, which weighs sender behaviour, content, structure and context to identify spam and phishing, including brand-new campaigns. It runs on the mail server, so email content is not sent to external AI providers, and it learns from every user correction.
Stops: spam, phishing, scam campaigns and many impersonation attempts.
Layer 3: Virus and malware scanning
Attachments and content are scanned for viruses and malicious code before delivery, protecting every device equally.
Stops: infected attachments, malware loaders and ransomware delivery.
Layer 4: AI-driven classification
Legitimate mail is sorted into clear categories by SpamFoo’s classification engine. Real conversations stand out, automated mail waits its turn, and unusual messages are easier to spot.
Delivers: a calmer inbox where threats can’t hide in the noise.
Layer 5: Two-factor authentication
Even if a password is stolen through phishing or a data breach, two-factor authentication stops attackers from logging in without the second factor.
Stops: account takeover and credential reuse.
Layer 6: Country-based login restrictions
Administrators decide which countries may access company mailboxes. Sign-in attempts from anywhere else are blocked before they can even try a password.
Stops: brute-force attacks and logins from high-risk regions.
Layer 7: Secure mobile access
The Smardove app for Android and iOS gives staff a dedicated, secure way to work on the move, with all server-side protection applied before mail reaches the phone.
Delivers: consistent security on every device.
Layer 8: Visibility and control
The SpamFoo dashboard shows users and administrators how mail is classified and routed, while the admin panel gives central control over every account.
Delivers: transparency, faster troubleshooting and confident decisions.
Why layers matter
Imagine a well-crafted phishing email. Domain checks flag a forged sender. If it uses a look-alike domain instead, AI antispam recognises the pattern. If a variant slips through and someone enters their password, two-factor authentication blocks the login. And if the attacker tries from abroad, country restrictions stop them at the door. Each layer turns a near-miss into a non-event.
Security that doesn’t get in the way
All of this runs quietly in the background. Staff simply see a cleaner inbox and a quick 2FA prompt; administrators get clear controls instead of complex configuration.
