Email Authentication Made Easy

HistoryDMARC was first developed in 2010, and it became an initiative in 2015 under the Trusted Domain Project. Currently, approximately 70% of consumer Inboxes worldwide are protected by DMARC – that’s more than 2.5 billion mailboxes worldwide.

However, the adoption rate of DMARC has been slow. Many organizations are still not aware of DMARC and its benefits. Many of those who have implemented it, have done so incorrectly, without realizing the full extent of its impact.

IMPLEMENT SPF / DKIM / DMARC STANDARDS

Detect Fraud. Prevent Threats.DMARC provides a way for participating senders and receivers to streamline the analysis process by coordinating their verification efforts. This prevents spammers and phishers from using valid organization names to conduct cyber attacks and provides insight into any attempts to spam, phish, or spearphish using your organization’s brand or name. Using DMARC, businesses can reduce the likelihood that their domain will be used in an attack, and they’ll be protected against incoming threats from other compromised domains. As a result, this increases customer confidence and builds trust in your brand.
