Fight Against Email Scam and Spoofing

To prevent email spoofing all domains must have Email Authentication system. Probably you have heard about SPF and DKIM mechanisms. But the thing is neither SPF nor DKIM alone can’t stop the impersonation of your domain and can’t prevent email spoofing. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) comes to rescue. It combines SPF and DKIM mechanisms, and gives 100% protection from exact-domain attacks. DMARC can protect you from phishing attack. Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain confidential information. By posing as a legitimate individual hackers manipulating victims to perform specific actions. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report Phishing and pretexting represent 93% of breaches. To achieve 100% protection you need to understand mechanics behind the DMARC system and how it works. It’s hard to achieve 100% protection against email spoofing and it requires diligence and some time (more than 2 months usually and depends on how complex is your email infrastructure is).
