Earlier this year, fellow MSP Today writer Greg Tavarez (and my editorial teammate for the upcoming MSP Expo 2025) wrote a great piece about EasyDMARC, a vendor of the cloud-native email security and deliverability platform. In it, Tavarez reminded readers about how email very much remains “a cornerstone of business communication,” but admittedly there are vulnerabilities that continue to make it a prime target for fishy cybercriminals. (Especially when they’re phishing.)
“Phishing and spoofing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, often bypassing traditional security measures and jeopardizing sensitive data and financial resources,” Tavarez wrote. A Verizon report on data breach investigations also shone light on this alarming upward trend, revealing that “93% of successful cyberattacks have begun with a phishing email” since 2021.
Suffice it to say, being on the receiving end of an annoying phishing attempt has unfortunately become all but commonplace. However frequent, though, we shouldn’t be forced to normalize panicking and scrambling through the aftermath of having unwillingly become a victim.
So, earlier this morning EasyDMARC announced that it successfully closed its $20 million Series A funding round.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), as we know, is the global standard that helps protect against phishing and other forms of nasty email spoofing. By verifying the sender's authenticity, DMARC ensures that emails received are truly from the intended source. And as the aforementioned EasyDMARC article from Tavarez also read, “organizations can gain highly valuable insights into email traffic so they can identify potential security breaches promptly.” In this vein, EasyDMARC’s one-stop solution for all things DMARC helps organizations save time and headaches by resolving security in just a few clicks
Now, with this additional $20 million in funding, EasyDMARC plans to invest further in its DMARC-focused team. The company reportedly plans to, quote, “strengthen its channel partner ecosystem across Europe, the U.K., the U.S., and APAC, providing its MSP partners with additional resources and streamlined processes to better serve their end-customers.”
Dana Sadovnic, Principal at Radian Capital, commented on the funding round her firm supported.
“EasyDMARC is poised to capitalise on a massive and largely untapped market opportunity, driven by generational tailwinds from Google and Yahoo’s regulatory announcements and rising phishing attacks,” Sadovnic explained. “The overwhelming market interest in EasyDMARC underscores the value of its sophisticated product suite, which enables companies to effectively configure, manage, and monitor DMARC security protocols throughout their lifecycle. We’re thrilled to partner with EasyDMARC for this journey."
EasyDMARC CEO Gerasim Hovhannisyan added that “Phishing emails remain one of the most dangerous gateways for cyber attacks, and we remain passionate about provenly simple and accessible solutions to this threat.”
