Time to Get Strict With DMARC
DARKReading, Friday, October 18th, 2024
Adoption of the email authentication and policy specification remains low, and only about a tenth of DMARC-enabled domains enforce policies. Everyone is waiting for major email providers to get strict.
The state of DMARC email authentication and security standard looked so promising at the beginning of 2024.
Google and Yahoo had set a deadline of February 2024 for bulk email senders to adopt a Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) policy, and as companies scrambled to meet the deadline, the number of email domains with a valid DMARC record jumped 60% in two months. As of September, nearly 6.8 million domains have email sender authentication configured.
