Email protection + employee readiness
Anti-Phishing Services for Michigan businesses.
Phishing protection works best when email controls, employee awareness and the response process support one another. CTS helps businesses connect these responsibilities to the way their IT environment is managed.
The business question
Make a suspicious message easier to stop.
An unexpected invoice, a shared-file notification or a request that appears to come from a colleague can interrupt an ordinary workday. People need more than a reminder to be careful: they need useful controls and a clear way to report concerns.
A payment request arrives at the wrong moment.
A familiar display name is not enough to approve a payment change. Give employees a route to verify the request through an established channel and report the message for review.
Explore the decision
Follow the decision, not the display name.
Choose a response to an unexpected request and explore the next useful step.

Illustrative planning exercise, not an assessment, live monitoring or a product configuration. No input is sent or stored. Service capabilities and decisions are agreed with your team.
Define the service
What the relationship needs to cover.
The useful scope connects the technical capability with the people and operating work around it.
Email protection
Review filtering, impersonation exposure and the configuration of the business email environment.
Employee readiness
Discuss awareness training and appropriate simulation exercises, with practical feedback rather than blame.
Reporting and follow-through
Define where a suspicious message goes, who reviews it and how an affected account is handled.
From discussion to operation
Make the next step explicit.
Start with the current environment, define the responsibility and agree on how the work will be reviewed.
- 01
Review the starting point
Understand the email platform, current protections and how employees report suspicious messages.
- 02
Align the controls
Connect filtering, identity protection and user guidance to the risks the business faces.
- 03
Improve from findings
Use reports and exercise results to identify recurring gaps and priorities.
Coverage depends on the email platform, licensing and service scope. Training and filtering reduce exposure; neither makes every message trustworthy.
Questions before you decide
Understand what you are buying.
These distinctions help make the service conversation more useful.
Is training enough?
Training is one layer. Email configuration, identity controls, reporting and investigation have separate jobs.
What if someone has already interacted with a message?
Current customers should contact CTS through the service request process so the situation can be assessed. Do not wait for the next awareness session.
Can this fit within Managed IT?
Yes. Discuss how the email protections and awareness work align with the managed support and security responsibilities in your agreement.
Part of the wider environment
Connect the responsibilities.
This service works alongside other parts of your IT and security operating model.
