DMARC
DMARC is an email authentication protocol designed to safeguard a domain from unauthorised use. It effectively prevents cybercriminals from impersonating your domain in phishing or spoofing attacks.
What is DMARC?
DMARC, which stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance, prevents spoofing and phishing by ensuring that the "From" email address aligns with the authenticated domain preventing attackers from impersonating a domain to send fraudulent emails.
It protects your brand reputation by stopping malicious actors from using a company's domain to send spam or phishing emails, which can damage the brand's reputation.
DMARC is essential for shielding your domain from phishing and spoofing attacks. Plus, DMARC reports provide valuable insights into how your domain is being used and help you spot unauthorised activities before they turn into serious threats.
Easy to Implement and Monitor
Once it's set up, DMARC lets you keep an eye on and manage how unauthenticated emails are treated—whether they're quarantined, rejected, or reported—giving you more control over your email security.
Protects Your Brand
DMARC helps prevent cybercriminals from impersonating your domain in phishing or spoofing attacks, safeguarding your company's reputation.
Improves Email Deliverability
DMARC helps improve the likelihood that your emails will land in your customers' inboxes rather than being marked as spam by ensuring that only legitimate emails are sent from your domain.
Boosts Email Security
DMARC collaborates with SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) to make sure that only authorised senders can send emails on your behalf, which greatly lowers the chances of phishing and fraud.
Provides Actionable Reports
DMARC creates detailed reports that reveal who is sending emails on your behalf and whether they are successfully passing or failing authentication. This helps you identify any potential misuse of your domain.
Ensures Regulatory Compliance
Many industries need robust email security practices to stay compliant. DMARC can assist you in meeting these requirements, particularly when it comes to cyber insurance.
