INCREASE IN PHISHING ATTACKS FUEL THE GROWTH IN THE ADOPTION OF DMARC

Phishing attacks growing by more than 150% per year has helped increase the adoption of domain-based message authentication, reporting, and conformance (DMARC)—an email validation system designed to protect a company’s email domain from being used for spoofing and phishing scams. Adoption of DMARC has grown 28% over the past three years.
