With a comprehensive suite of inbound and outbound phishing defense solutions for the enterprise, Agari enables a multi-layered defense strategy to protect the workforce, customers, and partners from email attacks rooted in identity deception and impersonation.
Unique to Agari is the Agari Cyber Intelligence Division (ACID), an industry-first threat intelligence team focused on BEC (business email compromise) threat actor investigation. Emerging from ACID research is Agari Active Defense, a commercial offering delivering actionable intelligence driven through direct engagement with BEC threat actors.
“Agari is committed to supporting GRF with its cause, helping to defend their systems and engaging the community of information security professionals as partners,” said Armen Najarian, Chief Identity Officer, Agari. “GRF is delivering mindful work to break down barriers, develop trust, and facilitate cross-sector threat information sharing. We look forward to Agari’s participation in the November Virtual Summit on Security & Third-Party Risk and other events to follow.
