SAN MATEO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/17/13 — , the leading provider of a cloud-based email security solution that analyzes a company-s email ecosystem and prevents malicious activity targeted towards consumers, today announced that it has been inducted into the Hall of Innovation. Agari received the award at the annual J.P. Morgan Technology Innovation Symposium for enabling the firm-s implementation of proactive controls to prevent targeted fraud and phishing attacks.
JPMorgan Chase-s Hall of Innovation recognizes companies whose technologies have had a major impact in driving business value.
“Through the Hall of Innovation, we are happy to recognize emerging technology companies that are helping JPMorgan Chase deliver next generation technology solutions,” said Larry Feinsmith, Head of Technology Strategy and Partnership Development within the Office of the CIO at JPMorgan Chase. “We continue to experience significant value through our engagement with early stage companies like Agari, and our relationship has been mutually beneficial to help develop their offering to meet the email security needs of large enterprises.”
“Our work with Agari has been instrumental in our ability to offer our customers unprecedented security for their inboxes,” said Anish Bhimani, Chief Information Risk Officer at JPMorgan Chase. “Thanks to Agari-s analytics and threat intelligence platform, together we have prevented millions of phishing emails from being delivered to customers- inboxes.”
The Agari platform protects the world-s most trusted brands and ensures that the only emails customers receive are authentic. Agari-s proven hosted, DMARC cloud-based service blocks phishing attacks on behalf of the largest banks, social media companies and consumer brands in the world, protecting brand reputation and preventing millions of dollars in damage to innocent consumers.

The group is dedicated to developing Internet standards to reduce the threat of email phishing and to improve coordination between email providers and email sender domain owners.
