Are You Hitting the Mark with DMARC?

As organizations struggle to protect their end-users from email attacks despite pragmatic methods such as phishing and awareness training, there is another tool available to assist in reducing this threat - Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC). Despite the many tangible benefits of DMARC, including monitoring, quarantining, and rejecting potentially harmful emails based on various indicators, many organizations have not moved to implement DMARC to make a positive difference in email protection and delivery worldwide. This paper highlights the benefits and outline steps that security technology departments can take to effectively partner with internal stakeholders (such as Sales and Marketing) to establish a win-win scenario of appropriately protecting the enterprise while furthering business goals.
