New DMARC Email Standard Helps to Thwart Phishing Attacks, Protect Your Brand

Domain Assurance by Return Path integrates DMARC standard helping companies to quickly take advantage of DMARC benefits.

Phishing attacks continue to be one of the top Internet security threats, costing companies and individuals billions of dollars every year. The Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformation (DMARC) specification, co-developed by Return Path and a consortium of email senders, ISPs, and security vendors, is focused on putting an end these attacks. By leveraging existing email authentication technologies SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), DMARC enables email senders to empower all ISPs with the ability to report as well as monitor, quarantine, or reject any email that is not appropriately authenticated.

To help new and current customers take advantage of DMARC quickly and easily, Return Path has already implemented DMARC policy standards into its Domain Assurance anti-phishing solution. Domain Assurance automatically analyzes data provided by ISPs through DMARC and provides detailed reporting back to companies empowering them with the ability to make informed policy statements and block future phishing attacks with confidence.

"Google has worked with Return Path for more than a year now to provide their clients the tools needed to better protect Gmail users from phishing and other malicious email," said Adam Dawes, Product Manager, Google. "Return Path's extensive experience positions it well to improve mail senders' authentication practices and help clean up the email channel. Most importantly, Return Path’s Domain Assurance product is already set up to support DMARC, and senders can start receiving data from Google and visualizing it with Return Path immediately."
