Introduction: Why Your Brand is Under Attack
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, protecting your name and reputation online is no longer optional—it is critical. Business owners often worry about complex cyber threats, but the largest threat often slips right through the inbox: fake emails.
Due to a historical email flaw, cybercriminals can easily impersonate almost any domain and deliver fraudulent emails directly to your client’s inboxes, damaging your business and impacting the deliverability of your legitimate communications. It’s a massive problem: 96% of phishing attacks arrive via email, with approximately 3.4 billion malicious emails sent daily worldwide
.
Hosted by Valter Schmaltz, the recent White Arrow Technology webinar, “Protect Your Brand Identity,” outlined clear, easy-to-follow steps for any business owner seeking to ensure that every email from their company is trusted.
The Non-Technical Solution: DMARC, SPF, and DKIM
While the problem sounds technical, the solution is straightforward: you need strong authentication standards to secure your domain
.
The essential standard is DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), which works alongside SPF and DKIM
.
White Arrow Technology, leveraging the industry-leading DMARC management platform, simplifies this process. This platform is specifically created for visibility, automation, and ease of use, allowing you to configure, monitor, and enforce authentication across all your domains from a single dashboard. This implementation is crucial because it mitigates the email flaw, stopping fake emails from being sent from your domain
.
Four Ways DMARC Boosts Your Business
DMARC compliance provides benefits far beyond mere protection, directly improving how your business operates and is perceived:
1. Trust: By stopping malicious emails from using your domain, you ensure that recipients can trust the authenticity of your emails
.
2. Delivery: Strong DMARC policies ensure that all legitimate emails sent with your name reach the intended inbox, rather than being diverted to Spam or Junk folders
.
3. Visibility: The DMARC reports collect data from servers worldwide and transform it into actionable insights. You gain unparalleled visibility into your email traffic and who is sending emails from your domain. The platform provides real-time insights and proactive threat detection
.
4. Compliance: Sendmarc helps ensure adherence to global regulatory standards across every department and email service used
.
For businesses looking for additional protection, advanced defenses are available, such as Lookalike Domain Defense (preventing criminals from imitating your domain name) and Breach Detection (monitoring the dark web for compromised credentials, which is vital since 25% of business breaches are caused by phishing attacks). Furthermore, Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) works with DMARC to build brand recognition by displaying your company logo next to your emails in inboxes
