Email Phishing and DMARC Statistics
Security Boulevard, Friday, November 22nd, 2024
Phishing attacks are among the most common-and costly-cyber threats affecting anyone using the Internet. These attacks, often disguised as legitimate emails, trick people into sharing sensitive information or unknowingly downloading harmful software, with billions lost yearly.
To combat this, organizations are turning to DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance). DMARC is an email authentication protocol designed to prevent email spoofing, a tactic at the heart of most phishing schemes. Yet, despite its effectiveness, many companies have yet to adopt DMARC, leaving them vulnerable to email-based attacks.
To help you better understand the risks associated with phishing attacks and the importance of DMARC in defending against them, we've highlighted the most common phishing tactics, the risks, and how they exploit email vulnerabilities. We will also explain how DMARC can effectively protect your organization from email spoofing, a major contributor to phishing attacks.
