The Spoofing Nightmare: Imagine This…
You’re sipping coffee when your inbox pings—a customer forwards a frantic email from your CEO: “Transfer $50K immediately!” But something’s off. Hackers spoofed your domain, fooled your team, and now your brand’s reputation is at stake.
65% of phishing attacks exploit domain spoofing. The good news? DMARC could’ve stopped this.
DMARC: Your Domain’s Bodyguard
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) acts like a security checkpoint for your emails—only verified emails pass, while fakes get blocked.
How DMARC Protects You:
Verifies Identity: Cross-checks emails using SPF (sender verification) and DKIM (digital signatures).
Enforces Policy: Rejects or quarantines unverified emails based on your rules.
Provides Insights: Sends detailed activity reports so you can spot and stop imposters.
