SECURE DELIVERABILITY
Supporting Compliance with Email Security Standards
real-time threat detection
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, malicious actors target vulnerabilities in networks, systems, and applications. Data breaches and cyber-attacks can result in significant financial and reputational damage. TrustedSend configures DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication method designed to detect forged sender addresses in emails, a common tactic used in phishing and spam.
TrustedSend Real-time threat detection offers proactive protection by identifying and mitigating threats as they happen, unlike traditional methods that respond after the fact. This dynamic approach helps secure sensitive data and maintain digital integrity.
HOW WE DO IT
The TrustedSend Team ensures secure email encryption by managing critical records that protect data in transit, using advanced protocols to help organizations comply with email security standards and safeguard confidential communications.
We deploy DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) which adds a unique digital signature to verify your identity. This digital key ensures that only authorized senders represent your domain, preventing impersonation and maintaining trust.
We also support TLS (Transport Layer Security) Reporting and MTA-STS (Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security) protocols, enhancing email security by enforcing TLS for encrypted connections, verifying server certificates, and preventing the delivery of unprotected messages. These tools protect email and website data (signified by “https”) from hackers, ensuring user privacy and security without additional effort.
Technical Jargon
WHAT IS DKIM
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a powerful email authentication protocol that helps verify the integrity and authenticity of an email. By leveraging DKIM for real-time threat detection, organizations can quickly identify and mitigate potential email-based attacks, such as spoofing, phishing, and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
How DKIM Enables Real-Time Threat Detection
1. Email Integrity Verification:
- DKIM attaches a digital signature to outgoing emails, which is linked to a cryptographic key published in the domain’s DNS.
- When a receiving server checks the DKIM signature, it can determine if the email has been altered in transit.
- If the signature fails validation, the email may have been tampered with, signaling a potential security threat.
2. Immediate Authentication Feedback:
- When an email fails DKIM verification, it can be flagged or quarantined in real-time.
- This immediate feedback helps protect recipients from malicious emails and provides domain owners with instant indicators of potential abuse or compromise.
3. Anomaly Detection:
- Real-time systems can analyze DKIM failures and detect patterns of suspicious activity.
- For example, repeated DKIM failures from certain IP addresses or regions can indicate an ongoing spoofing or phishing campaign.
4. Integration with Security Infrastructure:
- DKIM verification can be integrated with SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems and other threat detection platforms.
- This integration allows for real-time alerts, automated responses, and detailed logging to mitigate threats quickly.
Benefits of Real-Time Threat Detection with DKIM
✅ Instant Fraud Identification:
Catch spoofed or altered emails the moment they are detected, reducing the chances of phishing attacks or data breaches.
✅ Improved Email Security Posture:
Ensure all emails claiming to be from your domain are validated, reinforcing trust and reducing the risk of email-based threats.
✅ Automated Threat Mitigation:
By integrating DKIM with automated security tools, threats can be identified and neutralized in real-time without manual intervention.
✅ Enhanced Visibility and Reporting:
Gain insights into email authentication failures and anomalies, helping identify potential attackers or vulnerabilities in your email infrastructure.
