We are extremely proud to partner with these award-winning vendors and pride ourselves on selecting vendors to work with who provide best-in-breed technology solutions to our customers.
These technologies underpin our three core areas; Secure Email Ecosystem, Threat Detection and Response, and Cloud Security.
InfoTrust is a market leader in helping organisations to secure their email ecosystem and since partnering with Agari at the beginning of 2017, we have undertaken a number of large-scale email authentication projects with Australian businesses. The Agari Email Trust Platform works to solve the inherent flaws within email, organisations are able to utilise the AI-based solution combining their email data sets to develop a model for what legitimate communications look like and helping to reduce the reliance on employees to identify socially engineered cyberattacks. It streamlines the deployment and implementation of DMARC, a globally known email authentication standard. This technology combined with InfoTrust’s professional services and customer success approach, has meant that a number of Australian organisations are now at a point where they have authenticated their domains, reduce the number of fraudulent emails purporting to be their company and rebuilt their customers’ trust.

Symantec’s Data Loss Prevention solution, a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for 10 consecutive years now, enables organisations to identify sensitive information that resides within their business and ensures it is properly managed. With the introduction of legislation such as the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme and the EU GDPR regulation, now more than ever it is imperative that companies are able to confidently manage their data, setting policies and enabling advanced protection on sensitive information that may be leaving the business. InfoTrust partners with customers to implement Symantec’s DLP solution but also aids organisations with the production of robust cybersecurity frameworks, helping them to mature their cybersecurity practices and policies.
CrowdStrike has quickly become one of the market leading Endpoint Security solutions globally, recognised earlier this year by Gartner as a leading visionary within their quadrant, their innovative technology and services provide a differentiated offering to others within the market.

Phishing attacks have increased dramatically over the last few years, with the global pandemic escalating the situation further. Cybercriminals take advantage of insecurities and fear and play on human nature to trick and deceive. In fact, according to the OAIC, phishing attacks that involved compromised credentials accounted for 30% of all cyber incidents in the first half of 2021. And human error formed a major source of these breaches. Unfortunately, due to the clever social engineering tactics used by cybercriminals, technical filters alone aren’t sufficient to protect against phishing.
In today’s digital age, we all use a vast amount of information to conduct our business activities, sharing, and interacting with data across multiple devices and networks. As such confidentiality, integrity and availability are key. You only have to look at recent news headlines to realise that even organisations with comprehensive security strategies are still vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. Vulnerabilities can lie within the technology being used, the cyber-awareness of its employees, and the sophistication of attacks.
During the great cloud rush, many organisations moved to various cloud environments, for the productivity advantages, improved reliability and security compared with running on premise environments. But the naysayers conveyed the risks associated of security concerns and outages, having the potential to bring down a company or even an economy if a there was a massive outage.
Based on InfoTrust analysis at the start of 2019 of over 9000 Australian company domain MX and SPF records, over a third of these organisations rely on Microsoft O365 Productivity suite.
This includes some of Australia’s largest organisations that would undoubtedly disrupt an economy if they were without email for a sustained period of time.
Australia’s annual Cyber Week is due to return on 25-29 October 2021. The event combines virtual and in-person sessions, giving cybersecurity and business professionals a chance to network, share knowledge and build shared resilience. By debating topical issues and highlighting threats and solutions, the event fosters a greater understanding of cybersecurity in Australia.
Mimecast recently released its State of Email Security Report for 2021. The fifth edition of its annual report used interviews with over twelve hundred of information technology and cybersecurity professionals across the globe to gather vital cybersecurity insights. The report offers an insight into the latest email threats along with advice on how to build cyber resilience and mitigate the risks of email-borne attacks.
Last month CrowdStrike released its 2020 Global Threat Report, reflecting on the past year’s cybercrime and the types of attacks and techniques criminals have been utilising. In this blog post, we take a look at the key trends from the report and what they mean to Australian businesses.
