Email is a critical communication channel to engage with customers. Unfortunately, it is also the primary vector that cybercriminals use to exploit a brand and target its customer base with advanced phishing attacks. Malicious emails from cybercriminals can damage a brand, erode customer trust, and impact a corporation’s bottom line. Increasingly, consumers are valuing security and trusted communications as a brand differentiator.
A related challenge organizations are facing involves the complexity of today’s email channel. Driven by the addition of new cloud-based email services, the acquisition of new companies, or the set-up of unauthorized email servers by shadow IT, an organization’s “email identity” is constantly changing. This creates both a security risk when unauthorized email is sent on behalf of that organization’s brand, as well as a potential business problem if legitimate email is blocked from getting to customers.
Automated Email Authentication
Fortra's DMARC Protection stops phishing by automating the process of DMARC email authentication and enforcement to protect customers from cyberattacks, preserve brand identity, and improve digital engagement.
Fortra threat hunting teams are continuously monitoring and analyzing emails claiming to be from domains across the world’s largest cloud email providers. Combining Fortra DMARC Protection tools with third-party sender knowledge, Fortra lets you authenticate your organization’s legitimate email, thereby blocking unauthorized email from reaching your customers. And when criminals switch tactics to employ look-alike domains, Fortra DMARC Protection alerts you to these messages and allows you to detect the malicious URLs so you can take down the website.
Actionable Insight Into Your Email Ecosystem
For many organizations, cloud-based email services such as Salesforce, Marketo, or Mailchimp represent the majority of emails sent. Often, organizations may not even know all the cloud service providers sending email on their behalf. Fortra DMARC Protection includes cloud-based threat intelligence, which automatically identifies, monitors, and manages emails being sent on your behalf by third-party email senders. This enables businesses to easily identify and authorize legitimate email communications, block malicious emails from cybercriminals, and protect consumers and partners from email attacks.
