Mimecast swallowed the email security provider DMARC Analyzer to help customers tackle the threat of domain spoofing attacks.
The acquisition will enable customers to address threats at the email perimeter, inside the email network and beyond their immediate purview, ultimately reducing the time, effort and cost effects of domain spoofing, Mimecast said.
DMARC Analyzer offers Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) setup, management and analysis. By combining the solution with Mimecast’s defences, the firm says customers can now further strengthen their cyber resilience with robust visibility into attacks that defraud customers, suppliers and partners.
Mimecast chief executive officer Peter Bauer said: “With the power of Mimecast’s Cyber Resilience platform, we now have the brand and domain protection capabilities so we can better serve our customers beyond the perimeter.”
DMARC Analyzer has been implemented by more than 25,000 organisations spanning over 175 counties, including The Home Depot, Westfield, Reader’s Digest, and Whirlpool.
Mimecast said the deal will strengthen its Email Security 3.0 approach, which is designed to deliver perimeter to pervasive email security for organisations that require comprehensive protection.
