Email is a vulnerable access point for hackers who are continuously developing new and advanced strategies to expose critical data. As such BEC, or impersonation emails from trusted senders, are a major threat to organizations. According to the FBI, BEC attacks grew 136 percent over the past two years, with reported attacks totaling $12.5 billion. Symantec Email Fraud Protection takes a multi-layered approach to stopping fraudulent emails that target employees, partners and customers, and protecting brands’ reputations from hackers who impersonate company leadership.

Not only are email threats costly, but manually enforcing email authentication standards including SPF, DKIM or DMARC can be time-consuming and require highly technical resources to accurately identify third-party email senders without false positives that block important emails. Email Fraud Protection removes the need for administrators to manually set and maintain email sender parameters, instead email authentication standards are met by automatic monitoring of approved third-party senders.
“It’s not easy to find a solution that can stop email impersonation through DMARC, especially in a business world where you have multiple legitimate senders for a domain. Symantec Email Fraud Protection is that solution,” said James Charlton, IT security manager at MS Amlin – Global Specialty Insurer and Reinsurer.
