Using the SPF, DKIM and DMARC Frameworks to reduce Spoofing in Office365 Vincent Choy

Email Spoofing has become common place. Hackers are creating fake email and messages, targeting both the unsuspecting public, your customers, or even your own users, for financial and other malicious gains. This is because Email lacks the ability to verify authenticity of all received mails. Fraudsters have taken advantage of this fundamental flaw to full advantage. 3 Frameworks, SPF in April 2014, DKIM in 2011, and DMARC in 2015. Together, these 3 frameworks work in tandem to help combat email fraud. Many security devices and email providers have adopted these standards, including Microsoft Office 365 and Google. However, these frameworks are often misunderstood. This session explains how these frameworks help prevent mail fraud and why adopting these frameworks in an organization would help both their own users, and their customers, suppliers or even the general public from being spoofed by fraudsters using the organization's email domain.
