This biannual report from Agari goes in-depth on changes and trends in email and identity fraud for the second half of 2020.

Agari recently surveyed 305 senior European IT security professionals to better understand the region’s email threat landscape from the perspective of those fighting on the front lines against business email compromise (BEC), spear phishing, and other targeted email attacks. What emerges is a snapshot of a continent plagued by frictionless email scams that evade technical security controls and successfully hack the human psyche.

In this inaugural report, they take a look at the state of DMARC, leveraging Agari’s Email Threat Center, and its unique global and sector view into our customers’ DMARC traffic over the last 6 months of 2017. They also explore publicly available statistics and trends on DMARC usage. Finally, for a global view on email domains not visible to the Threat Center, they incorporate intelligence from Farsight Security, the world’s largest provider of historical and real-time passive DNS data. Farsight DNSDB provides an unmatched view into the diverse and often volatile DMARC policies located in global DNS records.

This report is a breakdown of Agari’s experience with Business Email Compromise and attacks.
