DMARC - The Next Step in Email Hygiene and Security

In 1971, Ray Tomlison developed the first email service while working at The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This development changed how we communicated.
However, even though this was an exceptional tool, it was not very user-friendly, requiring users to have specific software installed on their computers.
In 1996, Sabeer Bhatia founded Hotmail, making it the first web-based email messaging service. Exactly one year after Microsoft acquired Hotmail, I opened my first email account. I still remember the feeling of euphoria that came from receiving a virtual response to the message I sent. It might seem so mundane now, but like all new and noteworthy human experiences, everyone remembers their first time.
