Fortra Email Security
DMARC enforcement and BEC defense suite incorporating Agari technology.
Technical Architecture & Overview
Fortra Email Security is the home of the Agari products Fortra acquired in 2021, covering DMARC protection, cloud email protection against BEC and impersonation, suspicious email analysis, and threat intelligence.
