New analyst report recognizes Retarus among Notable Vendors for Enterprise Email Security

As a critical component in multiple business processes, business email is also the primary gateway for cyberattacks. Rising incidents of attack through deceptive phishing, malware, ransomware, and BEC are causing significant headaches for corporate email security. The Forrester report provides a detailed overview of current market dynamics across the email security business and guides companies in selecting a suitable provider for their needs. With its Secure Email Platform, Retarus self-reported that it addresses the principal use cases identified by Forrester.

All-encompassing security for email communication

The Retarus all-in-one service delivers reliable protection for business email against BEC and malware attacks, phishing attempts and ransomware and provides dependable data loss prevention. With modules for Email Security, Email Compliance and Email Infrastructure, the Retarus Secure Email Platform covers all aspects of business email communication – from security and continuity to compliance to application traffic and routing. Comprehensive, continuously refined phishing and virus filters is enhanced through patented detection and reaction mechanisms such as Retarus Patient Zero Detection, a real-time solution to identify and avert zero-day attacks. Already infected messages can even be retrieved from mailboxes post-delivery, but before they are opened, significantly reducing risk.

Retarus’ email gateway offers innovative mechanisms for detecting and repelling CxO fraud. It detects fake sender addresses used in BEC attacks, exposes these emails as fraudulent before any harm can be done, and quarantines them. When warding off novel threats, Retarus utilizes state-of-the-art, AI-based sandboxing technology. In addition to classic security features, the Retarus platform also offers functions such as Predelivery Logic. With minimal effort, it facilitates email environment consolidation, no matter how complex. The services of the Secure Email Platform can be integrated seamlessly into all email systems and adapted to meet new requirements at any time. Services also fulfill the very highest data protection standards and compliance guidelines. Retarus processes all data in compliance with GDPR in self-run, audit-ready data centers.
