Are you protected when you login to your email system?

Not if you don’t have MFA or Identity verification enabled.

ConsultCity Email security services can help you!

Multi-factor authentication (MFA), or two-step verification, requires you to present a second form of authentication, such as a verification code, to confirm your identity before you can access resources.

Email Security


Gartner believes that cloud email needs cloud security, recommending “a strategic approach to security that layers inbound, outbound, and internal detection and remediation” to address gaps in current email security.

Does your organization need protection from malware, ransomware, harmful links, and more?

Yes, you do! ConsultCity Email security services can help you!

Common Email Threats

Ransomware & Malware

Phishing > 90% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email

Spam > 80% of emails received

Account Takeover > 60% of phishing capture at least one user’s credentials

Domain Compromise

Spoofing - Header anomalies, domain similarity, “spear phishing” and whaling”

Internal Threats - Unauthorized sharing of sensitive data like HIPAA electronic protected health information(ePHI) and credit card numbers(PCI)

Do I need to secure our Domain Name Systems(DNS)? Give Us a Call and Let Us Help You!

Yes, you do! ConsultCity Domain security services can help you. (703) 752-1100 | info@consultcity.com


U.S. Department of Homeland Security and EU agencies are urging companies to take action to protect and secure their Domain assets due to DNS related attacks occurring with increasing frequency, sophistication, and severity.

What does DNS do for me?

Domain names, domain name systems (DNS), and digital certificates are used to direct and secure internet traffic used in all of the fundamental components of applications that enable your company to conduct business; your website, email, ecommerce, banking, and etc.


Okay now my DNS is compromised. What does that mean for my business?


  • Your online presence is partially or completely compromised.

  • Criminals can redirect websites for financial gain or hold domain activity hostage for ransom.

  • Intercept email to conduct espionage or even harvest credentials to breach your network.

  • Hijack email system to solicit information and/or redirect payment from your customers or your financial institutions(banks)

  • This can have a serious impact on your company's revenue and reputation and expose your company to significant financial penalties as a result.

Use a Tier 1 DNS provider

  • Internet Corporation for Assigned Name and Numbers (ICANN) accredited provider.

Enable WHOIS protection

  • Whois provides the contact data of domain owners.

  • Enable registrant information masking with the DNS provider to avoid this visibility.

Secure Domain Names and DNS portal access

    • Organizations should seek to consolidate domains to one DNS provider to ease management and increase visibility.

    • The provider should offer two-factor authentication.

    • Organizations should routinely review permissions for staff with access to domains and their DNS portal.

    • Choose a secure provider able to alert companies to changes in permissions.

    • Enable DNSSEC to encrypt queries to the internet service providers. DNSSEC digitally signs the root zone to prevent tempering with DNS records by bad actors which increases the confidence of the returned DNS results.

    • Implement Registry locks to prevent unauthorize transfer Domains.

Setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC DNS records to protect email traffic.

SPF - Sender Policy Framework:

  • Prevents the sender address of an e-mail from being forged.

  • List authorized MTAs allow to send emails on behalf of the domain.

DKIM - DomainKeys Identified Mail:

  • Email security standard designed to make sure messages aren't altered in transit between the sending and recipient servers.

  • Uses public-key cryptography(encryption) to sign email with a private key as it leaves a sending server to minimize spam and phishing.



What is DMARC?(video:2.45m)

DMARC- Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance:

  • Publish domain’s email authentication practices. Email sender can determine how the recipient handles an email that does not meet SPF and/or DKIM requirements.

  • State what actions should be taken on mail that fails authentication checks.

  • Enable reporting of these actions taken on mail claiming to be from its domain. This ensures a consistent verification of the authenticity of the email.
