Display Name Phishing Protection offers you further security against the most sophisticated of social engineering attacks. When you specify a high-authority user within your organization (e.g. a CEO or CFO), you’ll be adding added protections around filtering emails using their name or sender address. With this feature, you’ll see less of those pesky fake invoices and get more.
modusGate’s enhanced Malicious URL Scan incorporates top-of-the-line threat intelligence from 3 billion devices used daily, identifying, reporting and updating against malicious content, hosted malware and social engineering attacks that are meant to compromise accounts and devices and victimize businesses while users are caught inattentive.
modusGate’s updated DMARC Reporting further bolsters the platforms ability to help you maintain the authority and reputation of your sending domain, allowing you to analyze and interpret the masses of sophisticated data produced by your DMARC record, further improving the usability of your organization’s email while also protecting everyone you send emails to.
The additional updates for modusGate’s dual-AV, Office 365 implementation, “Mailsploit” protections and SPF and DKIM Engines provide added security, efficiency and ease of deployment, while modusGate’s new user interface brings it all together, offering a convenient, easy and visually appealing means to manage and monitor your email security solution and performance, along with a Threat Dashboard that allows for easier monitoring and understanding of where and how email threats are emerging.
