Fortra's Agari Phishing Defense

Identity Deception has Changed the Game

Cybercriminals have learned to bypass traditional security controls and outsmart even highly trained professionals with fake messages disguised as trusted individuals and brands. By doing so, they prompt unsuspecting employees to take action.

Protect Your Employees

Agari Phishing Defense prevents these threats from reaching employee inboxes by scoring every message flowing into and within the organization to defend against these low-volume,  highly targeted identity deception-based attacks.

Solution Features

Industry leaders  count on Agari to avoid the cost and business disruption that comes from rapidly evolving, identity deception-based attacks.

Identity-Centric Approach

Signature-based email security controls inspect incoming messages for recognizable payloads such as viruses, Trojans, and Malware that have been previously reported. Modern attacks often come as plain text email messages with no recognizable payload.

To stop phishing-based threats at scale, Agari Phishing Defense takes a new approach with the Agari Identity Graph at its core.

By uniquely learning sender-receiver behavior to model “the good”, Agari Phishing Defense can quickly detect “the bad” to identify and stop spear phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and Vendor Email Compromise (VEC) attacks.

Account Takeover Detection

Credential phishing attacks trick employees into thinking they need to log into a site or application to access information. Not realizing these look-alike logins are fake, the victims willingly give up their email and password.

This typically leads to email account takeover—one of the hardest email threats to detect because follow-on attacks are launched from legitimate email accounts within your organization or at business partners.

Unlike most email security controls, Agari Phishing Defense inspects all email messages flowing between employees to detect low-volume, highly targeted email attacks from compromised accounts and prevent them from spreading within your organization.

Continuous Inbox Protection

Phishing and BEC attack tactics are constantly evolving. Some threats also activate post-delivery by weaponizing links after the emails pass security controls and land in employee inboxes.

To neutralize latent phishing and BEC scams that evaded initial detection and have been previously delivered to the inbox, Agari Phishing Defense continuously scans employee inboxes for the latest indicators of compromise (IOC) drawn from research conducted by the Agari Cyber Intelligence Division (ACID).

The ACID BEC feed is the industry’s first and only globally sourced, expert-curated intelligence on emergent BEC attacks.

API Based Integration

Email environments are notoriously complicated. Most organizations need constant access to email and work to eliminate any single point of failure.

Agari Phishing Defense is a cloud-native application that uses an API integration to quickly deploy alongside all secure email gateways to protect Office 365, G Suite, or Microsoft Exchange environments (on-premises or hybrid) from phishing attacks.

Agari Phishing Defense does not sit “in-line” with your messaging flow, removing any risk of disrupting your mission-critical business communications.

Protect All Inboxes

Protect employee inboxes from phishing attacks regardless of location: in Microsoft 365 and on-premises MS Exchange through a single administration console. Support for MS Hybrid configuration lowers administrative overhead by 60% versus maintaining two separate consoles, one for each environment. Unified administration enables consistent security policies across the organization.

Companies with regulatory compliance requirements and/or those migrating to Microsoft 365 can stop phishing attacks while supporting business requirements.

Hybrid support adds to the growing list of features, i.e. Scoring Adjustments and Skip Processing, that enterprises demand to simultaneously meet business needs and security requirements.
