KISS:
Email Spam Filter for Australian Businesses
vProtect
Spam is more than an annoyance.
For a business, an email that slips through the filter can lead to stolen credentials, malware, ransomware, fraudulent payments or a compromised mailbox.
vProtect is Velocity Host's email spam filter for Australian businesses and works by adding a dedicated spam filtering service in front of Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or your existing business email service, helping filter spam, phishing attempts, malicious links and malware before messages reach your users.
Is Your Existing Email Spam Filter Enough?
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace both provide built-in spam and security filtering. For ordinary junk mail, those controls can be effective but the issue is that unwanted and malicious email continues to evolve, and businesses may want an additional filtering layer in addition to their existing email service.
Australian Signals Directorate reporting* has highlighted the impact of cybercrime on Australian businesses, including business email compromise and other email-related threats.
A dedicated spam email filtering service such as vProtect is designed to complement, rather than replace, the security controls already included with your email provider.

What Is an Email Spam Filter?
An email spam filter examines incoming messages and applies detection rules before they reach the user's inbox. A modern spam filter can assess sender reputation, message characteristics, links and attachments, while continuously updating its detection as new threats emerge.
vProtect uses cloud-based anti spam email software to provide continuous spam detection. The service is designed to reduce unwanted email reaching users while providing quarantine and reporting tools so legitimate messages can be reviewed when necessary.
What Does vProtect Block?
- Bulk spam and unwanted marketing email.
- Phishing messages designed to steal passwords or other credentials.
- Business email compromise attempts that impersonate staff, suppliers or customers.
- Malware and ransomware delivered through email attachments or links.
- Spoofed sender addresses and lookalike domains.
- Known malicious links, including links hidden behind shortened URLs.
What You Get with the vProtect Spam Filtering Service
- A quarantine that lets you review filtered messages.
- Real-time filtering updated as new threats are identified.
- Protection for email addresses across your business.
- Reporting to help you understand what is being blocked.
- Australian-based support during Australian business hours.
- No lock-in contract.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee.
No email spam filtering service can guarantee that every malicious message will be identified or that every unwanted message will be blocked.
Effective email protection is layered: filtering should work alongside secure passwords, multi-factor authentication, endpoint security, user awareness and appropriate backup and recovery processes.
Works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Other Email Services
Paying for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other email services does not mean a business has no further email-security decisions to make. While these platforms provide built-in filtering and security controls, a dedicated spam filtering service can add another layer focused specifically on email filtering and threat detection.
Modern threats can include phishing, impersonation, malicious links and attachments, and messages designed to look like normal business correspondence. Layered protection gives businesses more opportunities to detect and stop threats before they reach users
vProtect is designed to sit in front of your existing email service rather than replace it, so your team can continue using familiar email applications and workflows.
