Email authentication is broken. We are fixing it.
Six protocols. One autonomous Agent. From p=none to p=reject without breaking mail.
What is broken.
DMARC sits unenforced.
Across 189 countries observed by Atlas, only 15.6% of monitored domains have advanced past p=none. The rest publish a policy and never enforce it.
DKIM keys never rotate.
Password rotation is a baseline security practice. DKIM key rotation, which underpins every authenticated email, is left to expire with the deployment.
BIMI is gated by a toll.
The Verified Mark Certificate sits between every brand and its logo in Gmail. Annual pricing starts near $1,500. The cost has nothing to do with email security.
What we built.
The Authex Agent. A deterministic engine for email authentication. Twenty-six rules. Twelve action types. Six DMARC-progression phases. It reads your DNS, decides what to change, and writes the update only when the signals say it is safe. From p=none through p=quarantine to p=reject, with risk-gated advancement and rollback at every step.
What we believe.
Enforcement first.
Reaching p=reject is the goal. Everything before it is a stepping stone toward enforcement.
Autonomous. Not advisory.
Dashboards do not change DNS. Reports do not stop spoofing. The Agent acts. We measure ourselves by what changes, not by what is flagged.
Real DNS. Not synthetic.
Every recommendation comes from live DNS records and live SMTP behavior. There is no synthetic test data in our pipeline.
