KnowBe4 is excited to announce that now you can use our brand new, innovative Mailserver Security Assessment (MSA), to help you assess your organization’s mailserver configuration settings and check the effectiveness of your email filtering rules.
With email still the #1 attack vector used by cybercriminals, MSA helps you to see what types of messages may make it through your filters from the outside.
A recent Cyren Email Security Gap Analysis discovered an astounding average miss rate of 10.5% in which enterprise email security systems missed spam, phishing and malware attachments.
Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4 said, “IT admins can now do an automated assessment of their email security. Armed with that data they can see what emails may make it through, and take steps to lower the risk of social engineering attacks making it to their users.”
MSA can deliver over 30 different emails and test how an organization’s email configuration handles a multitude of message types in as little as an hour such as:
- SPF Testing - Use a domain with an SPF record that has a soft fail or hard fail)
- Domain Spoofing - Spoof customers domain (from only, reply to only, altered top level domain
- Punycode domain - Use puny code domain for the from/reply to
- Microsoft Office Docs - Word, Excel, PowerPoint
