BITS and the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) are pleased to offer complimentary email authentication support services to our member companies.

Agari collects terabytes of email data from sources across the Internet to assess, visualize, and protect against email threats to financial institutions, such as phishing and other fraud. Our service allows you to reduce reputational risk and protect your customers from fraud such as spam, phishing, and malware attacks. We do this by providing a holistic view of your email landscape from the cloud down, tracking down all servers sending email on your company’s behalf, publishing authorization policies to Mail Providers, and automatically feeding phish URLs to customers and their takedown vendors for immediate removal.
