The trust layer of the internet is broken. We are fixing it.

One autonomous Agent. From observation to enforcement, without breaking the stack you already run.

What is broken.

84%

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.

Decades

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.

$1,500

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 the trust layer of your domain. Twenty-six rules. Twelve action types. Six progression phases. It reads your DNS, decides what to change, and writes the update only when the signals say it is safe. From observation through quarantine to enforcement, with risk-gated advancement and rollback at every step.

26 rules · 12 action types · 6 phases · deterministic · no model

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.

Who runs this.
