In their own words
Mailinblack Protect
Mailinblack Protect is an email-security solution for companies, public administrations, and healthcare institutions. It covers anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-phishing, and anti-spearphishing protection, with inbound and, in Protect Advanced, outbound controls. Secure Link uses artificial intelligence to analyze links in received messages and warn users about dangerous destinations. A deep-learning model classifies email legitimacy and productivity while detecting threats, notifications, and newsletters. Administrators can configure filtering parameters, keyword categories, SPF verification, IP exclusions, rules, and alerts. Protect is available in Cloud or On-Premise configurations and is described as compatible with all messaging systems and hosting providers. Setup materials cover Office 365, G Suite, Exchange, OVH, 1&1, Gandi, Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail. A Microsoft 365 option uses Microsoft APIs to retrieve domains, accounts, and groups and configure connectors. Data is hosted in France on HDS-certified infrastructure, with processing described as GDPR compliant. DLP and DKIM signing require Protect Advanced; DLP also requires Protect Out enabled and in use. Pricing is on request.
