Phishing protection built for accounting firms. Not generic email filters.
Filter, flag, and quarantine the email scams that target CPAs during tax season, without slowing legitimate client mail.
Phishing is the #1 way attackers break into accounting firms.
Phishing email is how 9 of 10 ransomware incidents at small firms start. Tax-season volume is the cover.
Client trust at stake
One wire-fraud email to a client erodes years of relationship. When a CPA's address sends the scam, the damage doesn't stay technical.
Tax-season noise hides the threat
Hundreds of W-2, 1099, and engagement-letter emails daily. Lookalike sender domains and fake document links blend right in.
IRS and FTC are watching
Pub 4557 and the Safeguards Rule require documented email-threat controls, not just antivirus. Auditors ask for the proof.
How phishing protection works at Verito
Six layers across inbound mail, outbound mail, and the people in between.
Inbound filtering
Every link and attachment is detonated in a sandbox before the message lands. Malicious mail never reaches the inbox.
Lookalike domains
Catches partner, CEO, and client-impersonation emails. The kind that copy a real address with one swapped character.
One-click reporting
Every suspicious email includes a report button. Staff flag suspicious mail in one click, and it routes straight to our security team for review.
Outbound protection
Blocks Social Security numbers, EINs, and bank details from leaving by mistake. Required by FTC Safeguards.
Required by WISPPhishing training
Quarterly drills with per-user reporting. Staff who click get targeted training before the real attacker shows up.
Required by WISPSame protection everywhere
Banners, warnings, and reporting work identically on desktop, web, and mobile. No plugins or extensions required. Staff get the same defense everywhere.
Proof and coverage
