Overview

The entire email security industry is focused on looking for malicious content and emails with a bad reputation. Cybercrooks have figured this out and altered their tactics. Legacy email security companies haven’t changed, even though criminal tactics have changed. In contrast, Agari has broken away from traditional thinking. Its novel approach presents a new way forward by modeling good email behaviors and sender/receiver attributes to understand trust relationships at the forensic level. By modeling the good, Agari protects against dynamic and evolving phishing threats, many of which have never before been seen. Many of these threats have no recognizable digital signatures or they activate post-delivery, so they easily slip past legacy defenses. Agari can even identify latent threats. In other words, Agari can go back in time and find dangerous emails that are lying in wait in unsuspecting company inboxes. Agari founder and CEO is the inventor of the DMARC email authentication technology, which today is the universal standard used by a majority of companies and government agencies worldwide. Agari’s approach works. It experienced 197% growth in EMEA in 2019, for example, and is the go-to email security provider for the Fortune 1000. Its first customer, one of the biggest banks in the world, is still a customer today; its first employee is still an employee today (10 years later).
