Advanced Email Security: Beyond Basic Filtering

In today’s threat landscape, email remains the primary vector for cyberattacks. NourNet’s award-winning solutions go beyond simple spam filters by employing sophisticated technologies:

  • Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR): Neutralizing malicious attachments by stripping active content and delivering only safe files.
  • Cloud Sandboxing: Detonating suspicious files in a secure, isolated environment to observe behavior before they reach the user.
  • Click Protection: Real-time URL inspection to prevent users from accessing malicious links or phishing sites.
  • Encryption and Archiving: Ensuring that sensitive corporate communications are stored securely and remain compliant with legal discovery requirements.

Strategic Compliance with NCA and SAMA Regulations

Data residency is a critical requirement for the financial and government sectors in Saudi Arabia. NourNet distinguishes itself by hosting all security features locally within our KSA-based data centers. This local hosting model is essential for organizations striving to meet:

  • NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC): Ensuring national data is protected within the Kingdom.
  • SAMA Cybersecurity Framework: Meeting the rigorous security standards required for the Saudi banking and insurance sectors. By choosing NourNet, clients achieve a perfect balance between cutting-edge global technology and strict local compliance.
