Getting Started with DMARC
Fully protect your organisations’ reputation
Common business email compromise (BEC) attack tactics include:
- Domain spoofing: "Company <person@company.com"
- Lookalike domain spoofing: "Company <person@c0rnpany.com"
We help you prevent fraudsters from sending emails that use your trusted domains—and domains designed to mimic them. Our solution helps you:
- Get 360-degree visibility across your ecosystem, including emails destined for business gateways and your own gateway
- Dynamically identify lookalikes of your domains registered by people outside of your organisation
- See which of your domains attackers have attempted to hijack
- Proactively address malicious lookalikes of your domain with our Virtual Takedown Service
Get visibility into supplier risks
With our solution, you can go beyond DMARC visibility into your supplier risk with Supplier Risk Explorer. We help you:
- Automatically identify your suppliers
- See message volume and the email delivered from malicious lookalikes of your suppliers’ domain
- Assesses and prioritise the risk suppliers pose to your organisation, including impostor threats, phishing, malware and spam
