Listen to Chris Nowell discuss how to ensure that your email system is secured regarding SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and impersonation protection.
ABOUT OUR EVENT
Join us for an insightful session on protecting your email system through the use of use SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and impersonation protection.
Over a year after Google and Yahoo! began blocking email from some organizations without DMARC, 60% of Calgary businesses haven’t set it up 45% of those who have set it up aren’t using it to protect themselves from having fake invoices sent from their domain. DMARC, DKIM, and SPF are only half of the equation. It’s also important to set up your email provider to avoid falling victim to impersonation attacks.
