Email Security Product Development

This US-based company wanted a robust email security solution that offers critical defenses against multiple inbound/outbound email-borne threats such as:

• Spams
• Malware
• Phishing
• Spoofing

To achieve this goal, the client turned to Capital Numbers.

We’ve always meticulously executed strategies that have helped global brands and promising startups maximize their ROI.

With this cybersecurity project, too, we responded with a future-focused solution that can help the client keep all email security blind spots at bay. However, our biggest challenge was to conduct extensive R&D on various email authentication techniques such as DMARC, SPF, BIMI, and DKIM. We had to implement the best security protocols to prevent all email frauds and risks.

We started this project by handpicking the best talents that can drive innovation and growth for the client.

Our primary focus was to develop a robust website that can handle and neutralize email threats before they materialize. We went ahead with the following tech stack to create the website:

We chose Angular for the frontend because it comes with all the conventional JavaScript functionalities that help with object manipulation. Moreover, Angular provides code consistency, reusability, and maintenance. Its modular structure helps break the application into reusable chunks, paving the way for quicker and efficient web development.

For the backend, we used Python. We chose this highly interactive language because it comes with extensive support libraries, numerous third-party modules, user-friendly data structures, and a vibrant community that makes developing complex applications a cakewalk.

Next, we used Django because of its Object Relational Mapping (ORM) layer that handles database access, routing, sessions, and security vulnerabilities. Plus, Django works on Python; it is backward compatible and has a REST framework that quickly builds ready-to-use APIs.

We used GitHub to help developers and programmers collaboratively work on code. To effectively build and deploy all code changes on GitHub, we used Travis CI.

Our experts used Docker containers because they help scale, modify, and update an application with new features, as per business requirements. Besides, Docker containers allow applications to quickly shuttle between different environments, be it a developer’s laptop or a public cloud environment, thereby allowing seamless portability.

To streamline container management, we used Kubernetes. We used this highly flexible solution to automatically handle storage, networking, logs, alerting, etc., of multiple containers. Kubernetes perfectly helps orchestrate containers and automate deployment, thereby cutting down on unnecessary resource costs.

For the database management system (DBMS), we used the highly secure PostgreSQL. Our team considered this extensible DBMS as the perfect choice for reliably storing, managing, and programming large volumes of assets and data.

To securely host the web application, we used Amazon Web Services (AWS). Not only does it provide enormous computing power, but it also offers elastic load balancing during peak times and auto-scaling, thereby improving app speed and agility, with 99.99% uptime and zero upfront costs.

Our mature development approach, combined with best-in-breed technologies, helped us successfully create the email security product, without release delays or disruptions.

Capital Numbers’ well-tuned processes helped its team achieve an outstanding product within the defined timeline.
