Helps businesses implement and manage DMARC and DKIM protocols for their email domains

Managed Email Authentication Service

 

What is a Managed Email Authentication Service?

The Managed Email Authentication Service helps businesses 
implement and manage DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) protocols for their email domains. This ensures that only authorised senders can use the domain, protecting against email spoofing and phishing attacks. It also improves email deliverability by ensuring that legitimate emails are recognised and not flagged as spam by recipient servers. Apex manages the ongoing monitoring, adjustments, and reporting, ensuring continuous protection and compliance.

How does a Managed Email Authentication Service work?

Businesses face a significant risk of email spoofing and phishing attacks, where bad actors impersonate legitimate domains to send fraudulent emails. These attacks can lead to data breaches, financial fraud, and loss of trust. Additionally, many organisations struggle with email deliverability issues because emails sent from their domains 
are often flagged as spam or not delivered at all if proper 
authentication protocols like DMARC and DKIM are not in place.

The Importance of a Managed Email Authentication Service

Mark

With email being the backbone of business communication, failing to secure your domain can result in phishing attacks, loss of sensitive data, and reputational damage. Additionally, many businesses find that their emails aren’t delivered if DMARC and DKIM are not correctly configured. Implementing these protocols ensures that legitimate emails reach their recipients, while fraudulent emails are blocked, thus improving security and communication reliability.

With Apex managing the service, businesses can focus on their core operations while enjoying peace of mind that their domain is secure and emails are consistently reaching their intended recipients.

What This Product Doesn't Do:

Not a Full Email Security Solution: This service manages DMARC and DKIM but doesn’t cover encryption, malware detection, or full email threat protection. Additional tools are necessary for full email security.

Doesn’t Guarantee Complete Deliverability: While it 
significantly improves deliverability, other factors such as email content and sending reputation also influence whether emails are delivered successfully.
