Spam Filters Are Not Security.
Most businesses rely on basic spam filters to protect their inboxes. But cybercriminals in 2025 have outpaced those filters by miles. For SMBs in Illinois, especially those in healthcare, finance, or manufacturing, email is now your #1 attack surface.
Let’s break down why basic isn’t enough—and what real protection looks like.
Common Email Threats That Get Through Spam Filters
🚨 Spear phishing that mimics your CFO’s writing style
🚨 Business Email Compromise (BEC) where attackers spoof your domain
🚨 Ransomware delivery via trusted file links
🚨 Credential harvesting forms disguised as Microsoft logins
Spam filters catch junk. But these aren’t junk. They’re traps.
