Why Do Companies Need To Take DMARC Adoption Seriously?
PowerDMARC, Monday, August 21,2023
DMARC adoption is on the rise- all thanks to awareness spread by cybersecurity experts and DMARC service providers. As of 2021, almost 5 million unique DMARC records are logged, meaning the total number of valid DMARC policies has increased by a steep 84%. This is twice the percentage increase observed in the prior calendar year.
However, it's also been observed that it's primarily large-scale companies that have shifted their focus toward email security and DMARC policies. In contrast, small-and-mid scale companies have still not taken this crucial step.
Phishers Hit Irrespective of the Business Size and Capacity!
Business size doesn't matter for phishers and scammers. Since small-and-mid scale business owners have limited resources (finances, team, time, etc.), they are unable to leverage the benefits and protection offered by DMARC, enabling bad actors to see them as potential targets.
Apart from the lack of resources, they also bear the mindset that malicious attackers target only big businesses.
