  Feature requirements & definitions  
  Connection security enforcement, Inbound; DMARC, SPF, DKIM, Fraud Analysis

Full Support: Connection security enforcement for DMARC, SPF, DKIM performed at the time-of-delivery by an email gateway. These gateways can be virtual (SaaS), hosted (IaaS), and on-prem. If a non-gateway solution enforces DMARC, SPF, and DKIM before delivery, it may also be considered "full support".

Full Support Advanced: Provides the features of full support +AI/ML to enhance DMARC, SPF, and DKIM protections reputationally or behaviorally.

Partial Support: DMARC, SPF, DKIM, fraud analysis validation is performed after delivery rather than connection-level enforcement..

Answers the question: Does the vendor provide email gateway level security?

Concerns: Email connection security is very important for stopping spoofing and fraud. Many vendors claim to provide enforcement level of email fraud protectiony but actually leverage a scoring system which should be looked at closely. Each vendor will have high claims but widely ranging efficacy.

Full Support Advanced: Provides the features of full support +AI/ML to enhance reverse lookup, fake domain, lookalikes, domain authentication protections reputationally or behaviorally.

Partial Support:  Reverse lookup, fake domain, lookalikes, domain authentication, fraud analysis validation is applied after delivery to a scoring system rather than enforcement at time of delivery connection-level enforcement..
