Ekaru Joins EasyDMARC’s MSP Program to Strengthen Email Security for Clients

Feb 11, 2025 5:09:19 PM

In a recent strategic move, EasyDMARC, a leading cloud-native email security and deliverability platform, has partnered with Ekaru, a managed service provider (MSP) based in the greater Boston area. This collaboration is set to bolster email security and improve email deliverability for Ekaru’s clients, addressing rising concerns about phishing, spoofing, and fraudulent email activities.

The Growing Threat of Email-Based Cyberattacks

Email security has become an urgent issue for businesses of all sizes. According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 93% of all successful cyberattacks start with a phishing email. This underscores the importance of safeguarding email domains from malicious use, especially as cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics.

Ekaru’s Proactive Approach to Email Security

Ekaru has taken a proactive stance to help its clients protect their email domains. The company recognizes the critical role email plays in modern business operations and has partnered with EasyDMARC to enhance its clients’ email security measures. With the upcoming PCI compliance deadline on March 31, 2025, and NIST guidelines emphasizing the need for trustworthy email, the partnership aims to make DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) enforcement a priority.

“Email is the gateway to your business, and without DMARC enforcement, you’re potentially leaving it wide open to cybercriminals. With PCI compliance requiring stronger email protections by March 31 and NIST emphasizing the need for Trustworthy Email, now is the time to act. Implementing DMARC isn’t just a recommendation, it’s a necessity to protect your customers, your reputation, and your bottom line, ” said Ann Westerheim, Founder and President of Ekaru.

A Perfect Match for Cybersecurity

Both EasyDMARC and Ekaru share a commitment to providing robust email security solutions to their clients.

"We are thrilled to welcome Ekaru to our growing partner network. Their commitment to delivering exceptional IT services and support to their clients aligns perfectly with our mission to make email safer for everyone," said Gerasim Hovhannisyan, CEO of EasyDMARC.

EasyDMARC’s platform, which offers advanced tools such as AI-powered DMARC Report Analyser, email source reputation monitoring, and comprehensive management solutions for DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, will empower Ekaru to better secure their clients' email environments.
