Most federal departments aren’t using DMARC: Wyden
URL Copied
Found on the Sophos Naked Security blog: Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) contacted the US Department of Homeland Security in a July 18 letter where he 'asked the agency to “take immediate steps” to mandate that all federal agencies implement DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance), an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol launched in 2012 that helps prevent email domain spoofing.' He noted that DMARC has been implemented by very few government agencies to date.
This is good to see, and one hopes it helps drive DMARC adoption. It's not a phishing cure-all, but I still think it's an important step in the fight to reduce the risks around email forgery.
