Research from Valimail indicates that domains lacking DMARC enforcement are nearly 4X more likely to get spoofed — how Microsoft’s new feature could help differentiate junk from legitimate emails
Hey friends. I’m back for yet another email-related discussion. Email is an extremely utilized and important tool for communication across not only businesses and organizations across the world but for personal use as well. Approximately one-third of the population of the planet has an email address. This is why it’s essential for every organization protects their domains to ensure that no one impersonates them via email.
This is where DMARC, or what’s known as domain-based message authentication, reporting and conformance, comes in handy. But not everyone uses DMARC, even though it provides protection against email phishing and spoofing. This means that when Microsoft releases its new Office 365 feature that will give organizations the option to block emails from senders whose domains lack DMARC authentication mechanisms, those non-DMARC authenticated organizations are going to be in trouble.
So, what is there to know about this new Office 365 update and how will it affect your email capabilities?
Let’s hash it out.
