Lockwell’s Email Firewall is designed to protect your organization from malicious emails, including phishing attempts and other email-based threats. Our advanced system scans all incoming emails for signs of suspicious activity, such as harmful links, fraudulent attachments, and deceptive sender information. When a potential threat is detected, Lockwell automatically labels the email in your inbox for easy identification. Simultaneously, a security issue is generated within our system for you to review. This allows you to assess the situation, delete the email if necessary, and block the sender to prevent further risks.

This guide will walk you through the steps to grant Lockwell the necessary permissions in either your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account. Follow the steps below to get started!

In such cases, we store the email subject, sender's name and email address, and the reason the email was identified as malicious. This ensures that we can help you respond to threats effectively while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy.
