MailGuard Partners Blog

It’s official, MailGuard is super proud to boast that we are now a Microsoft Gold Partner. In a sign of how fast we’re moving, it was only in June that we were celebrating Silver status, but hey, that’s old news. Now it's official, in September MailGuard was recognised as a Microsoft Gold Partner! 

Exciting news about Azure Australia Central (AAC): after lengthy preparation and testing, Microsoft’s secure public cloud infrastructure, is fully operational and the first users are online.

There has been a 2500% increase in the sale of cybercrime kits on the dark-web since 2016, said Angus Taylor MP, Australian Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security in a recent interview.
Taylor expressed his concern about this surge in online criminal activity. He noted that there has been “a high take-up of digital technologies” by Australian companies, but about 30% of smaller companies have inadequate cybersecurity measures in place. 

“We can go from 52,000 customers and a few thousand sellers to 17 million partner sellers and 75 million buyers around the world… that’s the opportunity ahead of us.

“I recruited MailGuard 2 years ago... a cybersecurity solution that sits on Azure and uses Office 365… We helped MailGuard move into 12 additional countries and form significant partnerships... At Insight UK alone, they’ve identified over 150,000 Office 365 users for MailGuard.”

MailGuard is proud to announce that we’ve been certified as a Microsoft Silver Partner.

MailGuard’s Silver Partner status is a gratifying recognition of our commitment to excellence within the Microsoft Partner ecosystem.

Silver Partners are certified as achieving proven expertise in specialized areas of business and as such form an elite tier of the Microsoft partnership system.  

In 2016 the Australian Government launched their cybersecurity strategy, which included AU$230 million to fund education, training and research.

The Australian Cyber Security Growth Network - AustCyber - was founded as a result of that initiative; with the mission of nurturing the Australian cybersecurity industry.

Game, set, match

I’m very pleased to announce that MailGuard is now an official launch partner of Microsoft Azure Australia Central. 

Our email filtering technology is now hosted on Microsoft's secure public cloud, which is certified by the Australian Signals Directorate.
