What is Email Security?

Guardio automatically detects harmful emails that make it past your spam filter, flags them in your inbox, and alerts you right away. Malicious emails are designed to steal your money, information, or identity, so you must remove them from your primary Inbox by using the Report Spam feature.

On your Guardio dashboard, you’ll find a list of all the malicious emails in your inbox here:

How do I set up Email Security?
