If implemented properly, DMARC will completely stop phishing attacks in which an intruder sends an email with a’ From’ address that appears to come from a secure domain. As this is the primary form of a phishing attack, DMARC is a very powerful tool to protect enterprises against phishing.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
DMARC adds three key elements to the current email authentication standards:<\/p>
DMARC aims to remove unauthorized email from the network of an individual used in phishing attacks and other forms of cybercrime.DMARC helps orgainzations to prevent harm to integrity that happens when a domain is effectively used in a phishing scheme.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
DMARC can help to successfully prevent direct domain spoofing, where attackers use an organization’s exact domain name in the \u201cfrom\u201d address within an email. Nevertheless, DMARC can not prevent look-alike domain spoofing once hackers use a domain name that is a slightly modified copy of a legal domain. DMARC can not provide coverage against newly registered domains that are often used to launch attacks for several hours or days before being shut down. For these purposes, many companies opt for a multi-layer solution to email protection which utilizes DMARC in combination with a number of other protections.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Forwarding is a bit of a DMARC edge event. Forwarding occurs when an e-mail receiver delivers an e-mail to another sender.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
DMARC is all about checking that the email in the’ From’ header is the real recipient of the message. To do this, the software parameters used to validate the senders are DKIM and SPF. Nevertheless, both DKIM and SPF do not need either DKIM or SPF to match the From header and user identification. Alignment ensures that these domains will align when configured properly.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
