Managers in charge of ensuring security at enterprises face constantly changing, ever evolving email-based attacks. Conventional safeguarding mechanisms and rigid data sources soon come up against their limits. Companies need solutions which continuously adapt to meet new threats without requiring enterprises to continually restructure their own infrastructures or change providers.

At Retarus, transparency is not a marketing claim – it is a core design principle. With the introduction of our new Observability Metrics, we are taking the next logical step, delivering a level of visibility that is currently unique in the market. Effective immediately, customers gain full, unfiltered, real-time access to all security-relevant data generated by Retarus Email Security.

In discussions with the security teams of many of our enterprise customers, Retarus’ experts often encounter a commonly overlooked risk. The issue is that some email security solutions activate the DKIM “l=” tag (length tag) by default. While this option indeed made sense in the past, it now poses significant security risks.

The run-up to Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many people – unfortunately, it is for cybercriminals as well. While companies focus on closing the fiscal year and employees are busy with vacation planning and gift shopping, attackers prepare targeted campaigns. Sören Schulte, email security specialist at Retarus, explains what IT managers need to watch out for to successfully fend off phishing, CEO fraud, and other scam techniques.
