Email Security and the New DHS Directive

U.S. government agencies now find themselves having to comply with Binding Operational Directive 18-01 to enhance email and web security. What are the immediate tasks? Patrick Peterson of Agari offers insight and advice.

"The great news about this directive: It is profoundly common sense," says Peterson, founder and executive chairman of Agari. "The technology [of email and web security] is quite simple. But given the complexity of government organizations, there can be quite a few steps to go through."

In an interview about enhancing email and web security, Peterson discusses:

  • The toughest compliance task facing agencies;
  • DMARC and what agencies can learn from pioneers;
  • How Agari is helping organizations improve email authentication and security.
