CHALLENGE

The Cost Of Cloud Compromise And Shadow IT

With the increased use of SaaS applications, cloud account takeover and Shadow IT present an increasing security risks to organizations. Using more than just a few cloud services can easily hit the limit of 10 DNS lookups, meaning SPF can break and good email won’t be delivered. The Senior Information Security Engineer and his team were looking to use Valimail’s Enforce solution to help stop domain impersonations, such as messages from lookalikes and fraudulent domains, by authenticating emails at the sender level.

SOLUTION

Gain Visibility And Control Over Unauthorized Email

By implementing Valimail’s solution, emails that looked to be malicious were blocked from reaching their inboxes. Valimail also helped to implement strong sender identity validation through DMARC, to ensure that attackers weren’t spoofing their domain or brand.

This tech-forward financial services company utilized Valimail’s SPF records which contain macros. The records allowed them to leverage Valimail’s patented technology to directly address the 10 lookup limit in SPF. Without Valimail’s patented instant SPF, IT security teams would have to go through the manual process of:

  1. Interpret high volumes of XML dumps
  2. Parse through thousands of IP addresses to find and map to 3rd party platforms
  3. IP addresses point to cloud platforms or servers running the services
  4. Guess which services are running on the platform or server
  5. Determine legitimacy of the service and service owner

With Valimail’s instant SPF Macro, and its service identification technology, this tech-forward financial services company had the ability to save time and a ton of manual work for their team.
