Easy Solutions Unveils DMARC CompassTM


SUNRISE, Fla. --(Business Wire)--

Easy Solutions®, the Total Fraud Protection® company, today announced the availability of DMARC Compass, enabling organizations to quickly achieve the utility of a trusted, more secure email communications channel as an integrated part of their ongoing fraud monitoring and threat mitigation intelligence capabilities.

In September, Easy Solutions first announced support for the use of the DMARC draft specification within its customer base. At the time, the company noted that customers had already seen 20% uplift in visibility into phishing attacks targeting their brands, and improved takedown times as a result. The powerful combination of fraud detection, attack takedown and DMARC Compass (News - Alert) allows companies to quickly and cost-effectively improve email delivery across their organizations, while mitigating threats and reducing risk of fraud.

DMARC, which stands for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance", is a technical specification to help reduce the potential for email-based abuse by solving long-standing operational, deployment, and reporting issuesrelated to email authentication protocols. DMARC enables email receivers to authenticate legitimate messages and exchange information with email senders about how to handle unauthenticated messages (monitor, quarantine or delete). Now, with DMARC Compass, enterprises can also leverage this intelligence to clearly understand where phishing attacks are originating from, and shut them down in a faster, more targeted manner. Additionally, organizations can increase their visibility over authorized e-mail campaigns, and ensure third-party organizations sending e-mails on their behalf are accounted for.



"DMARC holds great promise, not just in reducing the issue of fraudulent email, but even more so as a key component of threat detection and mitigation," said Daniel Ingevaldson, CTO of Easy Solutions. "When fully deployed, it enables financial services companies of all sizes, retailers and services firms to not only secure email channels and reduce fraudulent or spoofed email, but also to improve threat intelligence around targeted attacks on their brands. To date, organizations have only had highly costly options to help them deploy DMARC. With DMARC Compass, we are making it simpler and more cost-effective for them to take advantage of this specification."

The DMARC industry group was founded in 2012 by leading technology, financial service, media and retail companies to fight email fraud, helping email senders and receivers work together to better secure emails, and thereby protecting users and brands from painful, costly abuse. Most recently, the IETF has created a working group for DMARC, and will be developing the final standard.


Easy Solutions' Total Fraud Protection platform delivers proactive, integrated, cross-channel fraud protection across transactions performed through online and mobile platforms, as well as via ATMs, Point-of-Sale terminals, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems. This ability to quantify and protect against cross-channel risk in real-time continues to grow more critical, as criminals leverage multiple channels to conduct highly sophisticated fraud.
