Brand protection

Your brand is your most valuable asset

Conosco’s Brand Protection service provides comprehensive security for your email communications, ensuring they are transmitted without the risk of unlawful interception, redirection, or alteration.

By implementing advanced security protocols such as DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), we take proactive measures to protect your brand’s integrity.

These technologies not only enhance the security of your emails but also help safeguard your reputation against phishing attacks and fraudulent activities, allowing you to communicate confidently and effectively with your audience.

Advanced protection against email threats

Our comprehensive solutions deliver powerful defence against phishing, spoofing, and various other email-based threats that can jeopardise your business.

By fortifying your email infrastructure, we empower you to sustain trust and credibility among your clients and partners. Our dedicated team of experts meticulously configures and monitors your email security settings, ensuring they are always up-to-date.

Over time, we proactively adjust your settings, guaranteeing that your communication remains secure and reliable at all times.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

Your public SPF record lists the IP addresses authorised to send email on behalf of your domain

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)

DKIM provides non-repudiation by digitally signing your email headers and body, ensuring your sent emails are tamper-proof.

DMARC

DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM, instructing a recipient if they should accept or reject unauthenticated email impersonating your domain. The reporting capabilities ensure you have visibility in sending services.

Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI)

BIMI enables you to display your branded logo in the recipient's inbox. Requires DMARC enforcement, further enhancing security and trust

Mail Transfer Agent - Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS)

MTA-STS ensures inbound email is sent by mail servers using an encrypted channel, preventing connections from being downgraded to cleartext

Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment

We continuously monitor and adjust your email security settings to reflect your authorised senders as they change over time.

We mitigate the risk of inbound email interception and alteration.

Your business is vulnerable to email interception and alteration without effective brand protection. This can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and damage to your reputation. Our Email Domain Security service ensures that your emails are transmitted securely, protecting your data from unauthorised access. Partnering with Conosco provides peace of mind and ensures that your communications are secure.

We enhance the reputation and deliverability of your outbound email.

Overzealous policies configured by a receiver of your email can have a negative impact on delivery. Configuring authentication of your sending services and enforcing with DMARC significantly increases trust and deliverability. Partnering with Conosco reduces the complexity of your DMARC journey.

FAQ

Conosco’s Brand Protection service includes monitoring and securing your email domains, implementing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC protocols, and providing continuous threat intelligence to protect against email spoofing and phishing attacks.

Yes, because your email gateway will not protect your supply chain from threat actors impersonating your domain.
Without DMARC, it's trivial to send an email impersonating your brand (email domains). They don't even need to trick your staff to expose their email account credentials.

Implementing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC helps to:

Authenticate your emails and prevent spoofing.
Improve email deliverability by reducing the chances of your emails being marked as spam.
Protect your brand reputation by ensuring that only legitimate emails are sent from your domain.

Email security settings should be reviewed regularly, at least quarterly, or whenever there are significant changes in your email infrastructure or threat landscape.

Email spoofing involves sending emails that appear to come from a trusted source but are actually sent by malicious actors. This is often used in phishing attacks to trick recipients into providing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.

Yes, implementing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC can improve your email deliverability and reduce the chances of your legitimate emails being caught in spam filters.

While having an email security client is beneficial, Conosco’s Brand Protection service can work alongside your existing email security solutions to provide comprehensive protection.

Yes, Conosco's Brand Protection service can be configured to protect multiple domains and brands, ensuring consistent security across all your email communications.

We even lock down domains you own but do not use to send email or receive

The complexity of your email eco-system coupled with the technical implementation of SPF, DKIM and DMARC can lead to misconfigurations, negatively impacting email delivery. DMARC is a journey towards enforcement which requires careful monitoring, discovery and ensuring your authorised sending services are correctly configured for authentication

To approach the board about brand protection, emphasise the importance of protecting the company’s reputation, preventing financial losses from phishing attacks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
