MailGuard Partners Blog

Last month, we shared an exclusive Q&A discussion between our CEO Craig McDonald, and Angus Mansfield, Managing Director of XCentral as part of a special feature during Scams Awareness Week 2019. 

It might be your clients' CFO, reviewing transactions for the monthly executive payroll.  

Emerging IT is an Australian managed service provider and has been a valued reseller and partner of MailGuard's since 2016.

The company was founded in 2001 and today, it delivers managed services to over 100 clients. In 2016, the company turned from a Network Operations Centre (NOC) to a Security Operations Centre (SOC). This has seen the implementation of next-generation anti-spam, web defence and antivirus protection.

We spoke with Christos Pavlou, the National Sales Manager of Emerging IT, to learn more about the company’s ethos, its approach to cybersecurity, and the biggest value that MailGuard brings to its clients. 

It's an important question, considering it's highly likely that your clients will get hit by a scam at some point or another. 

MailGuard is proud to announce that our CEO & Founder, Craig McDonald, has been presented with the 2019 Victorian Pearcey Entrepreneur Award.

I was going to begin this blog by posing a question to you about ‘How high cybersecurity is on your clients' list of priorities?’ 

Running from 12-16 August, the ACCC’s annual Scams Awareness Week aims to minimise the impact of scams on the community by raising awareness and promoting education about ways to detect and avoid scams.

A plain-text email purporting to be from Dropbox asking you to upgrade your account. A super legitimate-looking email supposedly from Netflix directing you to sign in to unlock new benefits. A notification apparently from EnergyAustralia with your latest bill attached.

Do your clients know how to spot which of these emails are real and which of these are fake?

Premier Technology Solutions has been a valued MailGuard Partner since 2016.

Premier was founded in 2001 on the principle that Australian businesses deserve smart, reliable, and efficient IT solutions delivered with pride and integrity. The company has grown to a business with over 40 staff based primarily in Melbourne, delivering premium managed IT services Australia wide.

The firm's solutions and services extend from the desktop to the cloud, and its client base spans a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to financial services, through to hospitality and not for profits.

We spoke with Anthony Quaresima, CTO of Premier on the company's approach to cybersecurity, why it partnered with MailGuard, and tips on collaborating better.   

Imagine a company with the most experienced cybersecurity team, and the best software and hardware defences. You’d probably think that this organisation won’t ever find itself on the end of a devastating cyber-attack, right?
