Why Email Authentication Fails Against Phishing Attacks
On Demand
You’ve tuned your email security, and configured DMARC correctly, yet your employees are still getting phished. Why?
While email authentication and sender reputation tools help brands deliver authentic email messages, they do not stop bad actors from delivering phishing messages. In other words, DMARC, SPF and DKIM won’t protect you from Business Email Compromise (BEC), Spoofing, and other phishing threats.
Through the creation of a real-time live attack, our co-founder/CSO, Blake Darché, and our principal security researcher, Javier Castro, will demonstrate that even when you deploy DMARC:
It’s easy to establish a new phishing domain that exploits trusted infrastructure
It’s fast to set up DMARC, SPF and DKIM policies for new phishing domains to reach inboxes
The most effective way to detect phish beyond email authentication is through comprehensive message analysis, computer vision and other advanced techniques.
Attackers exploiting trusted infrastructure and new domains will compromise your trusted business partners or internal employee accounts to deliver phishing emails. It’s time to outsmart them, before they outsmart your DMARC.

They’re my last line of defense and they catch everything. They’re responsive to feedback and updating their product.
