With 96% of all suspicious social interactions arriving through email, organisations must protect their email users more than ever. Over the years, email-authentication standards such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF); DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM); and the Domain-based Message Authentication, and Conformance (DMARC) have sprung up to help defend against email spoofing and fraud attacks.

DMARC brings together the power of SPF and DKIM. It has proven to be quite effective at reducing business email compromise (BEC), phishing and spoofing attacks. A common problem, however, is that being based on two other standards, DMARC can take some time to understand. Implementing a DMARC strategy can also be complex. And DMARC reports are often difficult to parse.

A raft of solutions have sprung up to help organisations set up and manage their DMARC strategies. Like many of these solutions, Proofpoint Email Fraud Defense (EFD) can help you streamline the deployment of your DMARC implementations. Proofpoint EFD, however, offers so much more than this. It provides you with unparalleled insight into the threat landscape. It also leverages machine learning to help defend your people intelligently and thoroughly. And its platform-based approach to security integrates seamlessly with other Proofpoint solutions for comprehensive and flexible protection.
