Built by a security consultant,
for businesses that need it simple.
Authex is the result of 8+ years helping businesses secure their systems. I saw how complex email authentication was for SMBs, so I built a solution that makes it simple.
The Story
I started as a freelance IT technician in 2018, eventually becoming an IT consultant specializing in cyber security. Working with small and medium businesses, I noticed a pattern: email authentication was confusing, poorly implemented, and often ignored entirely.
DMARC, SPF, DKIM - these protocols are essential for preventing email spoofing and protecting brand reputation. But the setup process? Overcomplicated. The monitoring tools? Expensive and enterprise-focused. SMBs were left vulnerable.
So I built Authex. A platform that handles the complexity behind the scenes, giving you simple CNAME records to add and AI-powered insights to act on. No PhD in email protocols required.
