groupios On Premises – Email Security Gateway

It's not your spam filter that protects your company. It's the emails that never reach you.

Today, cyberattacks almost always start with an email. We stop compromised emails before they reach your company.

Why companies get hacked despite having a spam filter

Cyberattacks often begin with an email Firewalls and endpoint security alone aren't enough. Email remains a central attack path for cybercriminals. Classic spam filters mostly work with fixed rules. New attack methods evolve faster than these rules. Phishing, malware, and compromised accounts can be the result. Modern email security must detect attacks before they cause significant damage such as: Ransomware & production standstill Financial damage / insolvency Loss of reputation Data loss & legal consequences Loss of trust with customers & partners Every malicious email that gets delivered costs your company more than every email that gets blocked.

The most important questions before an investment decision….

Why is a separate email security gateway needed if Microsoft 365® or a spam filter is already in use?

Modern cyberattacks increasingly bypass conventional spam filters by exploiting legitimate communication channels, compromised accounts, or previously unknown attack patterns. The groupios Email Security Gateway performs a multi-stage analysis of incoming messages before they reach your mail infrastructure. This allows threats to be detected and rejected early - regardless of whether you use Microsoft 365®, Exchange, Postfix, or other mail servers.

How does the gateway minimize my business risk?

A successful email attack today can have far-reaching consequences beyond pure IT damage - for example production outages, data loss, reputational damage, legal consequences, and loss of customer trust, which can have significant economic impact. The groupios Gateway therefore follows a proactive security approach: attacks are detected and stopped early, before they reach users or mail servers. This significantly reduces operational risk.

Is the groupios Email Security Gateway suitable for public authorities, critical infrastructure operators, and regulated industries?

Yes. The groupios Email Security Gateway was specifically developed for organizations that must meet the highest requirements for data protection, information security, and digital sovereignty. It operates fully on-premises or in a controlled infrastructure, so companies, public authorities, and municipal IT service providers always retain full control over their communication data.

Why is the gateway's architecture more secure than conventional security solutions?

The groupios Gateway acts as an SMTP proxy with no mailboxes or email archiving of its own. It processes emails only during transmission and leaves behind no additional data stores. Combined with a redundant worker architecture, this results in a particularly small attack surface alongside high availability and a maintenance-friendly structure.

What strategic value does the groupios Email Security Gateway offer our organization?

The gateway is more than a pure security measure. It’s an integral part of a sovereign IT strategy and gives your company, authority, or municipality full control over email communication. It also helps reduce dependency on external cloud services, makes it easier to meet legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and helps build a highly available, scalable security architecture.

Mare Cloud brings all security solutions together in a single platform.
