Tag and identify external email that appears to be from a known From address. This is often known as CEO or Friendly From Spoofing. 


We can detect when your users are getting emails with your CEO’s name combined with a random email address, or emails from their colleagues sent from an external email address. 

 

To guard against display name spoofing you will upload a list of your users to the Address Book in the portal. 


One this is completed each incoming message will do a "fuzzy search" based on the sender of that message to determine if it might be an impersonation attempt.


Here are some common examples:

CFO of the company is named Jane Smith and her email address is jane.smith@our-company.com.
If an email message comes in with a FROM looking something like these:
  • jsmith@another-company.com
  • Jane Smith <jsmith@another-company.com>
  • J Smith <jsmith@another-company.com>
  • Jane Smith <jane.smith@another-company.com>
  • J Smith <jane.smith@another-company.com>
  • J Smith <janesmith@another-company.com>


These emails will be tagged and identified as possible spoofed emails.
