Global 500 Healthcare Company

Introduction

This case study of a Global 500 healthcare company is based on a January 2018 survey of Agari customers by TechValidate, a third-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

We were able to identify and block advanced email attacks that SEGs missed by using Agari Phishing Defense. By using a second vendor for inbound malicious email detection, we reduced the risks for our company.

Company Profile

The company featured in this case study asked to have its name publicly blinded because publicly endorsing vendors is against their policies.
