An email standard known as DMARC is an effective way to stop spammers and phishers from using company “domains” (the part of your email address after the “@”) to carry out dangerous cyber attacks. It’s a way to verify the sender of an email has permission to use your email domain and send email. DMARC is especially effective in addressing business email compromise (BEC) — a targeted email attack — which is a growing threat to companies.

A side benefit to using DMARC protection is that it may lead to better delivery of email to your customers’ inboxes instead of to their spam folder! The tools below can help you set up DMARC and also to understand the information it provides.
