eCert's Vision: Secure Email, Protect Consumers & Improve Customer Trust with Email Fraud Solutions

Company Overview

eCert is an email trust authority that ensures trust in, and reduces fraud against, critical email traffic for financial institutions, major brands, and government agencies. eCert works as a trusted intermediary between senders and receivers to accredit domains that send email, certify their traffic to defend against email fraud ("phishing") and provide critical insight, monitoring, and enforcement tools.

eCert was founded in 2008 as a collaboration between large financial service companies and major ISPs to improve security against email phishing. The eCert collaboration offers participating companies and organizations the opportunity to take a leadership position, with major financial and Internet service industry leaders, in addressing the problem of phishing and security for their customers.

eCert is the only service of its kind in operation, and was recently selected to provide this capability for the U.S. financial services sector by financial industry consortiums, the Financial Services-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) and BITS, the technology policy division of The Financial Services Roundtable.

eCert is rapidly expanding its network of ISP and security industry partners to ensure that large-scale, high-quality email senders, receivers and their customers have the best anti-phishing and traffic protection available for email. Membership in the eCert service is open to financial institutions and other companies and organizations exposed to phishing and email traffic threats.
