EmailAuth’s Revolution in Email Security: Automated Threat Response
Explore how EmailAuth revolutionizes email security with automated threat response, taking the hassle out of remediation.
Guide
Agent permissions across multiple customer tenants
Keep every customer’s data, credentials, approvals and queued work within its own enforceable tenant boundary.
Guide
Agent-assisted onboarding for an approved sending service
Plan agent-assisted sender onboarding with verified service identity, exact change previews, accountable approval, real-message checks and clear product limits.
Guide
Agentic DMARC operations: define the tasks, evidence and control boundaries
Define agentic authentication work as bounded tasks with attributable inputs, explicit authority, recorded execution and independently checked outcomes.
Guide
Agentic email authentication in regulated environments
Build an evidence-backed approval and audit process for agent-assisted authentication without treating a protocol pass as regulatory compliance.
Guide
An agent-assisted workflow for cleaning up obsolete SPF permissions
Remove obsolete SPF authority only after separating retired services from quiet, seasonal and shared dependencies.
Guide
An agent-assisted workflow for preparing a customer operating report
Prepare a customer operating report that connects coverage and failures to owned actions across the service lifecycle.
Guide
An agent-assisted workflow for reviewing ageing exceptions
Use an agent to assemble exception evidence while keeping renewal, retirement and risk acceptance with accountable owners.
Guide
Assess DMARCbis readiness with standards-linked evidence
Assess DMARCbis readiness using RFC 9989 and RFC 9990, a standards-linked gap register, legacy comparisons, approved changes and reproducible acceptance tests.
Guide
Authentication-agent audit trails: retain inputs, recommendations and approvals
Create an audit trail that links observed evidence to the exact recommendation, approval, attempted action and verification result.
Guide
Compare a recommendation engine with an accountable operating workflow
Separate useful advice from authorized execution by testing the complete path from evidence to a verified outcome.
Guide
Define approval boundaries for an authentication agent
Define authentication-agent approval boundaries for DNS, keys, policy, permissions and data sharing, with exact scope, execution checks and proposed tests.
Guide
Design approval gates for an agent's authentication recommendations
Bind each approval to a concrete tenant, current baseline and exact change, then verify the result before declaring success.
Guide
Escalation when an agent cannot identify a sender confidently
Escalate uncertain sender attribution with a bounded evidence packet instead of approving or blocking a service from a provider label.
Guide
Evaluate agentic email operations with a proof of concept you can reproduce
Test evidence, permissions, approval, execution and recovery as separate capabilities before trusting automated changes.
Guide
Evaluate AI summarisation against the original authentication evidence
Check AI summaries claim by claim, including what the summary leaves out, before using them to change authentication policy.
Guide
Govern AI agents that send email on behalf of the organisation
Control an agent’s recipients, content and sending identity independently of whether its mail passes authentication.
Guide
Human review of high-impact policy recommendations
Give human reviewers a decision packet that exposes uncertainty and business impact before high-impact policy changes.
Guide
Investigate an unknown sender with a read-only agent
Use an agent to organize unknown-sender evidence without granting approval authority. Keep candidate attribution, human decisions and later changes separate.
Guide
MCP access to authentication data: scope tools and credentials
Give an authentication analyst only the data and tools its task needs, and keep service credentials outside report content.
Guide
MCP servers and DNS write access: assess the approval boundary
Bind DNS approval to an exact tenant, record change and observed baseline before any MCP tool executes.
Guide
Measure operator effort without inventing savings
Design an honest authentication workflow comparison that includes review, failed runs, setup, variability and the evidence needed before claiming time saved.
Guide
One-click DNS publishing: review permissions, change previews and rollback
Require an exact preview, narrowly scoped authority, conflict detection and verified outcomes before treating one-click DNS publishing as safe.
Guide
Prepare a DKIM rotation with an agent
Prepare agent-assisted DKIM rotation with selector inventory, secure custody, current algorithms, approved cutover, evidence-based overlap and recovery gates.
Guide
Prevent instructions in reports or email samples from controlling an agent
Treat reports and email samples as untrusted evidence and enforce authority outside the model that reads them.
Guide
Prompt-injection risks in authentication analysis workflows
Evaluate prompt-injection risk by measuring unauthorized outcomes and useful task completion across a realistic authentication-analysis test set.
Guide
Protect report data and message samples supplied to AI services
Reduce, classify and control authentication evidence before sending it to an AI service.
Guide
Read-only analysis versus permission to change DNS
Bind each approved DNS change to the correct tenant, current state and exact diff, then verify the outcome.
Guide
Require evidence and uncertainty in an AI-generated DMARC recommendation
Require a recommendation to expose its evidence, competing explanations and permitted next action before anyone acts on it.
Guide
Rollback and stop controls for authentication automation
Stop further writes promptly and restore a known state only when the rollback itself remains authorized and safe.
Guide
Sender identity for application-generated and AI-generated email
Identify the application account, domain and accountable owner behind automated mail; AI authorship does not change DMARC identity rules.
Guide
Test agent behaviour using misleading, incomplete and conflicting evidence
Test how an agent handles uncertainty and hostile evidence, not only whether it can complete a clean demonstration.
Guide
Test an agent's sender attribution against ambiguous infrastructure
Test sender attribution on shared and indirect infrastructure, rewarding correct abstention instead of confident guesses.
Guide
Use an agent to investigate an authentication failure spike
Investigate authentication spikes with an agent using validated reports, meaningful denominators, competing causes, exact approval and reproducible results.
Guide
Validate an agent's proposed DNS change before execution
Treat the proposed DNS change as an exact, scoped transaction that must pass both authorization and mail-specific validation.
Guide
Verify the result after an agent-assisted configuration change
Verify published configuration, effective authentication and the intended business flow before calling an agent-assisted change successful.

Enterprise provenance
Why top financial institutions and governments retired their email security dashboards.
Traditional email authentication platforms sell you a dashboard and ask your engineers to do the labour. In high-stakes environments, manual oversight means delayed enforcement, configuration drift and unmonitored shadow domains.
EmailAuth is the agentic email provenance platform. Our agents enforce p=reject, keep third-party senders aligned and move your domains to full RFC 9989 compliance, the new DMARC standard,, with human-in-the-loop auditability.
