Our Story

It all started with my mom. Like many people adjusting to the digital world, she often found herself unsure about the emails landing in her inbox. She would forward every suspicious message to me, asking, “Is this real?” or “Should I click this?” After years of playing email detective for her, I realized she needed an easier way to identify phishing scams without relying on me. That’s when the idea for emailSONAR was born—a service that quickly determines if an email is trustworthy with a simple forward.

A friend and I talked about how large corporations have entire IT departments dedicated to detecting phishing attempts. Some email providers try to filter out scams, but they aren’t always accurate—important messages sometimes get flagged as spam, while dangerous emails slip through. Individuals and small businesses don’t have access to those same resources, leaving them vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks. We wanted to create a service that anyone could use, without needing technical expertise or expensive security solutions.

With emailSONAR, you don’t need to second-guess every email or research phishing scams yourself. Just forward a suspicious email, and we’ll analyze it quickly, providing a clear response in seconds. No complicated setups, no software installations—just a fast, reliable way to stay protected.

Security shouldn’t come at a premium, so we’ve made emailSONAR an affordable solution for everyday users and businesses alike. Whether you’re helping a parent stay safe online or protecting your own inbox, we’re here to make email security effortless.
