DMARC for Enhanced Email Security

Navigating the New Email Security Mandates

New email security mandates around DMARC will be in action in February 2024 for Google and Yahoo. These changes are crucial, and as a savvy email sender, you need to be in the loop to ensure your messages keep landing in those coveted inboxes!

What is DMARC? 

DMARC, or Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance is an email authentication protocol designed to enhance security by preventing email spoofing and phishing attacks. It acts as a guardian for your email, ensuring the authenticity of your sender domain.

Why is DMARC Important?

DMARC plays a crucial role in maintaining your brand reputation and securing your email communications. By setting up a DMARC policy, you establish a framework that not only reduces the risk of email fraud but also strengthens protection against phishing attacks.
