A Guide to DMARC Guidelines and Email Security

Email remains a critical point of vulnerability for organizations worldwide. The significance of robust email security protocols cannot be overstated. Among these, Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) has emerged to be a pivotal standard in the battle against email-based threats like phishing and email spoofing.

What is DMARC?

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is an email validation system designed to protect email domains from unauthorized use, a practice commonly known as email spoofing. DMARC builds upon two key email authentication methods: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). SPF validates emails by verifying sender IP addresses, while DKIM ensures the content integrity of the email through cryptographic authentication.

If you would like to learn more about DMARC and email security please review our whitepaper that aims to explain DMARC regulations, providing a thorough understanding of their role in today’s communication landscape.
