Actionable steps to improve your organization’s email security and cyber resilience.
Cybercriminals consistently take advantage of how easy it is to impersonate an organization’s email to dupe their customers, supply chain and even their own employees. Domain spoofing, where an attacker essentially forges your email to make it look as though their communication has come from a trusted source, is a common tactic used in phishing campaigns and business email compromise (BEC), the use of which grew by 54% and 67% respectively in the last 12 months alone[1]. It’s a big reason why email continues to be the tool of choice for cyber attackers.
Ignoring this problem can significantly impact your brand reputation, business relationships and the successful delivery of your own outbound business email. To successfully combat this type of attack you need full visibility into all email senders using your domain to identify legitimate versus fraudulent senders.
Enter Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC).
[1] Mimecast State of Email Security Report, 2019
Put a stop to fraudulent senders with complete visibility into who is sending mail on your behalf.
Reduce time and complexity with an easy-to-use cloud service.
Prevent brand abuse and scams using your domains.
Alerts, reports and charts to help achieve enforcement and monitor ongoing performance.
Confidently enforce DMARC policy to prevent domain spoofing and improve your email deliverability.
DMARC is an email validation system designed to uncover anyone using your domain without authorization, and ultimately block delivery of all unauthenticated mail. It builds on existing SPF and DKIM authentication techniques by adding a critical element, reporting.
DMARC reports provide detailed information about who is sending email using your domains. Using this information, you can specify what to do when emails fail DMARC authentication checks.

DMARC is a key tool in defeating email impersonation, and is part of a broader defensive arsenal. DMARC is the most effective way to combat direct domain spoofing most often used to target those outside your perimeter. But there are other types of impersonation too, including those using similar domains to yours, that DMARC cannot detect or stop. These can target customers and your supply chain and are also often used to trick your own employees. Mimecast offers end-to-end protection as an email sender and receiver and delivering perimeter and beyond perimeter protection.
