Why Does Canada Need DMARC Protection?

Email phishing is responsible for more than 9 out of every 10 data loss incidents in the world. That’s more than any other single factor making organizations like yours lose sensitive data. Worse yet, they could be using your brand name to target the general public—your customers—and causing them to lose trust in your brand.

Email Spoofing in Canada is Major Threat

As of May 2020, Canada has just over 9000 domains implementing DMARC, placing it 10th on the list of countries with DMARC-protected domains. This leaves a majority of Canada’s registered domains unprotected against cyberattacks. What’s more, not all DMARC users will have it enforced — you’re only DMARC-enforced when you set your policy to quarantine or reject.

Why is DMARC Important?

Most domains use protocols like SPF or DKIM to stop email spoofing. While these are useful, they have flaws an attacker can exploit. DMARC, on the other hand, does something different:

 

  • SPF + DKIM

DMARC combines the power of SPF & DKIM to authenticate email.

  • Reporting

Get constant feedback about emails that pass or fail the DMARC check.

  • Full Control

Decide what happens when your email fails DMARC; set your policy to quarantine or reject.

  • Brand Safety

Get total protection for your brand by preventing domain spoofing.
