SME Email Security Gets a Boost as Hornetsecurity Partners with Amazon. SMEs using Amazon’s Simple Email Service (SES) for email marketing or transactions now have a new, AI-powered security layer to protect their communications.
Hornetsecurity, a global leader in cloud-based cybersecurity, has teamed up with Amazon to offer its Vade Advanced Email Security Add-On as part of the Amazon SES Mail Manager ecosystem. This powerful tool brings enterprise-grade protection to SMEs who rely on SES for sending high volumes of email—whether for marketing, customer updates, or e-commerce transactions.
What’s New — and Why It Matters for SMEs
The new add-on leverages AI technology—including behavioural analysis and natural language processing—to analyse and filter incoming and outgoing emails in real-time. The goal? To stop threats like phishing and malware before they ever hit your inbox or your customers’.
For SMEs, this partnership represents a rare opportunity to access advanced email security tools that are often priced or designed for larger enterprises. Now, even the smallest business using Amazon SES can integrate robust protection with minimal setup or disruption.
Key Features for Small Business Users:
* Real-time threat scanning powered by artificial intelligence
* Seamless integration with existing SES Mail Manager dashboards
* Protection against spam, phishing, and malware — without needing a dedicated IT security team
* Full control over email security policies — choose what fits your needs and budget
* Pay-as-you-grow model — ideal for scaling companies or start-ups
For Small Business owners juggling marketing, operations, and IT, the biggest draw may be simplicity. The add-on integrates directly with Amazon’s Mail Manager, meaning there’s no complex deployment or new system to learn. You just enable the add-on and get back to business.
Why This Is a Smart Move for SME Cybersecurity
Small Businesses are increasingly being targeted by email-borne threats—often because they’re seen as easier targets. The ability to deploy automated, intelligent security tools within the platforms they’re already using (like Amazon SES) helps level the playing field.
“This kind of integration is a game-changer for small businesses that rely on email to grow and engage with customers,” said Daniel Hofmann, CEO of Hornetsecurity. “With AI-driven protection baked right into SES, SMEs can now enjoy the same calibre of email security as large enterprises.”
SME Cyber Takeaway:
If you’re an SME using Amazon SES for marketing or transactional emails, this partnership gives you an easy way to significantly strengthen your cyber defenses—without the high costs or complexity of traditional email security systems. It’s a smart, scalable move for businesses that want to grow safely in a digital-first world.
