Strengthen your email security with San-iT DMARC Protection
With cybercriminals continually evolving their tactics, it’s imperative for organisations to adopt robust email security to protect themselves. Spam filters, virus-checkers and user awareness training are commonplace, and with good reason; they are all vital measures to reduce the number of attacks that get through.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is often overlooked, but should be part of every organisation’s security arsenal. Rather than defending against threats coming into your network, DMARC Protection prevents cybercriminals from “spoofing” your domain to make their emails more convincing.
“Spoofing” is where a threat actor impersonates an email address belonging to a legitimate organisation in order to trick recipients into trusting their emails. Well-implemented DMARC protection prevents criminals from using your domain to target others.
Protect your business against reputational, legal and financial repercussions
Spoofing attacks don’t just damage their target. A compromised email system that results in a successful attack can tarnish your organisation’s image and lead to severe legal and financial consequences. San-iT DMARC Protection offers a proactive approach to protecting your reputation and maintaining trust with your customers.
Defend against Business Email Compromise attacks
A Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack is where cybercriminals impersonate a senior member of an organisation in emails targeted at their colleagues. Often, BEC emails purport to come from a company director, instructing staff to approve an urgent payment to an account controlled by the scammers. San-iT DMARC Protection prevents threat actors from using your own domain to target your staff, reducing the risk of BEC attacks.
Protect your unused domains
Unused or inactive domains are often prime targets for cybercriminals looking to launch phishing attacks or impersonate legitimate organisations. These dormant domains represent a potential security risk that can often be overlooked.
San-iT DMARC Protection allows you to monitor emails sent from all domains associated with your organisation – not just your primary domain. By enforcing DMARC policies across your entire domain portfolio, you can mitigate the risk of unauthorised email use with unused domains, preserving trust in your brand.
Improve your email delivery rate
In addition to enhancing security, DMARC can significantly improve your email delivery rate. By establishing DMARC, servers can easily establish the authenticity of your email domains, flagging fewer of your emails as spam and maximising the effectiveness of your communications. With San-iT DMARC Protection in place, you can optimise your email marketing campaigns, enhance customer engagement, and drive business growth with confidence.
Keep ahead of industry requirements
Google and Yahoo already require DMARC protection for any domain that sends 5,000 or more messages a day to their servers; this includes emails sent from third-party services using your domain, such as MailChimp, HubSpot and Constant Contact – which can result in marketing emails failing to reach your customers. Other email server providers are expected to implement similar requirements in the near future, while industry bodies such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards Council have announced plans to mandate the use of DMARC, organisations without DMARC protection will be left scrambling to bring their email security up to par, instead of getting ahead of the curve now.
