A user friendly solution fro protection against email threat and bypass email authentication

Pros

"It's the top choice because no company can operate without security. Ensuring email protection is a major priority for any organization when building its infrastructure."

Cons

"One major threat is QR code phishing, along with TOAD (Telephone-Oriented Attack Delivery). TOAD attacks don't include links, URLs, or attachments in emails. Instead, attackers try to trick you into calling them, often by offering something enticing like a 50% discount on football matches."
