Why SPF/DMARC Matter for Brand Protection

A quick overview of email authentication and why it reduces spoofing risk.

SPF and DMARC are the two most important DNS-based defenses against email spoofing.

A strong SPF policy restricts which servers can send emails on behalf of your domain.

DMARC adds reporting and enforcement so receivers can quarantine or reject fraudulent mail.

Start with p=none, monitor reports, then move to quarantine or reject for full protection.
