Emails were never designed with security in mind, which is precisely why they require cautious use and integration with third-party tools. Email analysis is a practical approach that checks email authentication results, sender identity, routing paths, and attachments to ensure the message is safe to open and engage with. You can manually analyze emails for…
In today’s digital world, email remains one of the most essential communication channels for organizations of all sizes — from multinational brands to local businesses. Yet while email offers immense marketing and operational value, it also brings challenges. One of the biggest barriers to success isn’t just sending email — it’s getting it into the…
Email continues to be one of the most widely used communication channels for businesses, consumers, and service providers worldwide. However, its widespread use has also made it a prime target for abuse. Phishing, spoofing, and impersonation attacks have increased dramatically, causing significant financial losses and eroding trust in email communication. To counter these threats, major…
To perform a DKIM lookup for your domain and verify email authentication, extract the DKIM selector from a signed message’s header, build the DNS name as selector._domainkey.yourdomain, query its TXT record with dig/nslookup (or an API), interpret the key tags, and optionally validate a message’s DKIM-Signature against that published public key. Context and background DKIM…
If you run a website based on WordPress and rely on it to send emails — user sign-up confirmations, notifications, password resets, newsletters, or contact-form replies — then you probably know how finicky email deliverability can be. Out-of-the-box WordPress typically uses the PHP mail() function, which often results in un-authenticated emails that get flagged as…
The third edition of the month revolves around key cybersecurity incidents. Cyber mishaps this week include a breach of Facebook login credentials, phishing attacks that exploit email routing gaps, fake Instagram password reset emails that sent a panic wave among the Indian user base, and a customer data breach at Betterment. Facebook login credentials accessed…
1) Unclear pricing creates unnecessary stressWhen buyers can’t even estimate affordability, anxiety replaces curiosity. A pricing estimator lowers emotional friction and keeps prospects engaged instead of guarded. 2) It quietly disqualifies the wrong leadsPeople far outside your price range self-select out early, which saves your sales team time, energy, and morale. 3) Serious buyers engage…
The divide between MSPs that grow year after year and those that plateau is getting wider. And it has nothing to do with: What separates growing MSPs from stagnant ones is how they operate day to day. The MSPs that scale intentionally adopt a small set of behaviours that most others either postpone, overthink, or…
Email continues to be one of the easiest ways for attackers to reach businesses. Phishing, spoofing, and brand impersonation attacks rely heavily on email because it is trusted, widely used, and difficult to police without proper controls. For service providers responsible for protecting client environments, securing email identity has become a foundational requirement. This is…
Implementing DMARC in Office 365 measurably improves inbox placement and reduces spoofing by giving Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Outlook strong, aligned authentication signals (SPF/DKIM), but misconfiguration or unenrolled third‑party senders can lead to legitimate messages being quarantined or rejected—so phased rollout and continuous monitoring are essential. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) sits…
In today’s digital world, email continues to be one of the most essential forms of communication for businesses. From customer support to marketing campaigns and internal workflow, email delivers critical messages every second. But as the volume of email grows, so do threats like phishing, spoofing, and spam. That’s where proper email authentication steps in…
Use a DMARC creator like DMARCReport by entering the required tags (v=DMARC1 and p), selecting optional tags (rua, ruf, adkim, aspf, sp, pct, fo), validating syntax/alignment and report routing, then publishing the generated TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain with a staged monitoring-to-enforcement plan and ongoing report-driven tuning. Context and background: what a DMARC creator does and…
In today’s email ecosystem, ensuring your messages are authenticated and trusted by mail servers is no longer optional: it’s mission-critical. Misconfigured email authentication is one of the leading causes of low deliverability, placement in spam folders, and spoofing attacks. That’s where SPF and DKIM come in: two foundational email authentication protocols that help protect your…
In today’s email threat landscape, phishing attacks have grown far more sophisticated than ever before. Gone are the days when scammers relied on bad grammar, obvious spoofed domains, or clearly malicious links. Modern attacks can mimic legitimate system alerts so convincingly that even tech-savvy users hesitate to dismiss them. One such evolving threat is what’s…
You implement a DMARC policy for a domain using Gmail/Google Workspace by configuring SPF and DKIM alignment for all senders, publishing a DMARC TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain with monitoring (p=none, rua/ruf), analyzing reports, and then progressively enforcing p=quarantine and p=reject—using pct and sp for subdomains—while monitoring results in Google Admin/Postmaster Tools and DMARCReport. Implementing DMARC…
