DMARC Adoption in the UAE: 2023 Report

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol designed to give email domain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorized use, or “spoofing”. Email authentication is important because it helps to prevent spam and phishing attacks that can harm both individuals and businesses. These attacks can use a fake email address that appears to come from a legitimate source to trick recipients into disclosing sensitive information or downloading ransomware.

The UAE is home to many large corporations and financial institutions that are attractive targets for cybercriminals. Furthermore, the country’s population is highly connected and reliant on technology, making them more susceptible to phishing and spoofing attacks. To combat these threats, the UAE has implemented various measures to enhance cybersecurity, which work to protect the country’s critical infrastructure and provide support to individuals and organizations.
