Valimail, the world’s leading provider of anti-phishing technologies to stop fake email and restore trust to communications, announced that it has entered into a Premier Partnership agreement with Gradian to make Valimail’s solutions available to the U.K. and European markets.
As a Premier Partner, Gradian will be an authorized reseller of Valimail’s entire product suite. Additionally, as an Authorized Onboarding Partner for Valimail, Gradian will provide implementation and support services for Valimail products for customers in the U.K. and Europe.
“The European market has been desperately searching for a solution to overcome the inherent problems caused by business email compromise and email phishing attacks,” said Damian Acklam, the CEO and founder of Gradian Systems. “Valimail has exactly that. We are excited to take Valimail to the market, start the work of adding trust into the secure email gateway (SEG) environment and make our customers and business partners ‘spoof proof.’”
Valimail’s suite of services includes:
Valimail Enforce, a fully automated email authentication system that stops unauthorized services and phishers from using a company’s domain to send email.
Valimail Defend, an authoritative solution that stops inbound impersonation attacks to ensure that the only emails reaching corporate inboxes are those sent from known, trusted domains.
Valimail Brand Trust, the only product that leverages both BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) and Microsoft Business Profiles to offer companies a customizable digital watermark for confirming that their emails are authentic.
“Valimail has the fastest, most effective, and most complete solution for stopping fake email on the market, and we look forward to working with Gradian to help protect U.K. and European companies from this persistent threat,” said Alexander García-Tobar, the CEO and co-founder of Valimail. “Together, we can put phishing emails where they belong: in the trash bin.”
For context, a recent study by the U.K. government found that phishing and fake emails cause more disruption for businesses and nonprofits than any other attack vector. Phishing and business email compromise (BEC) has exploded in the past year, with a 500-percent increase in attacks during 2018, while 60 percent of all companies have experienced spoofed email attacks in the past year.
Additionally, the FBI attributes $12.5 billion in losses to BEC over the past five years. Much of that damage is due to the ease with which attackers can impersonate trusted senders with spoofed “From” headers in emails — a weakness that Valimail corrects faster and more effectively than any other solution.
