-- Following the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore's latest cyber landscape findings, CLDY.com, a Singapore-based provider of web hosting, domain registration and email hosting, is urging SMEs to review their email security arrangements. The company is highlighting the relationship between technical protections and the way employees handle unexpected messages. Its recommendation covers email configuration, account access and independent verification of requests involving payments or sensitive information.
CSA's Singapore Cyber Landscape 2025/2026, released on Jun 30, 2026, reported approximately 4,800 phishing attempts in 2025, down 21% from about 6,100 in 2024. The figures show a decline in reported activity, while also establishing that phishing remains an ongoing issue. They describe reports across Singapore, rather than a count of attacks against SMEs or CLDY customers. CLDY is using that wider context to encourage businesses to review how their own email accounts are protected and used.
Phishing is an attempt to deceive a recipient into disclosing information or taking an action through a message that appears trustworthy. Business email compromise, or BEC, is a related form of fraud involving business communications, such as an impersonated supplier requesting a change to payment details. A convincing message can misuse a familiar name or arrive through an account that has been compromised. The response therefore involves more than deciding whether the wording looks suspicious.
In their joint advisory on protecting enterprises from BEC, CSA and Microsoft identify controls including email filtering, authentication and multi-factor authentication where possible. Those measures address different parts of the risk. Filtering can screen messages, authentication can support anti-spoofing protections, and stronger account access can make unauthorised entry harder. None removes the need to question an unexpected instruction that changes an established business process.
CLDY offers secure email hosting with published features including spam filtering and encrypted webmail access. Its service information also describes an email control panel for managing accounts and settings. The company's recommendation is that businesses understand which protections are included in their selected service and how those protections are configured. The presence of a security feature should be considered alongside the permissions, passwords and working practices surrounding the account.
The operational part of the review focuses on actions that a suspicious message might trigger. An unexpected bank-detail change or request for confidential records should reach a person authorised to check it through a contact route already known to the business. Staff also need a clear way to report a suspicious email without continuing the conversation with its sender. These arrangements give technical safeguards a supporting business process when a message reaches an inbox.
CLDY is also encouraging SMEs to review access when employees change roles or leave the organisation, and to identify who manages email-related domain settings. Domain registration, email hosting and website administration can involve different accounts even when services are purchased together. Recording those responsibilities helps the business direct a security concern to the appropriate administrator. It also makes the review relevant to existing arrangements, rather than dependent on changing providers.
The company provides email hosting alongside web hosting and domain registration for businesses managing their online operations. Its position is that email security combines suitable infrastructure with people who know how to check and escalate an unusual request. Further information about CLDY's email hosting features is available on its website.
