BACKGROUND

Election battlegrounds to cyber frontiers: The Australian Labor Party’s domain shield

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) is the oldest political party in Australia. It boasts members across the entire country, and processes well over one million emails every month using several third-party bulk email services. Realizing that phishing simulations were not going to cut it, the ALP decided to embark on a journey to protect its domains.

Other solutions seemed overly complicated. Valimail offered a straightforward setup and configuration, with the added benefit of unlimited SPF lookup.

CHALLENGE

Combatting domain hijacking amid intensified election communication demands

In the midst of election seasons, the ALP engages in extensive and intensified communication efforts. The urgency to share information that upholds their platform and endorses candidates surges significantly. However, the risk of their domains being compromised by impersonators poses a substantial concern.

SOLUTION

ALP leverages Valimail for automated DMARC enforcement, strengthened with robust reporting, protection, and monitoring

At the InfoSec World conference in Florida, DMARC emerged as a game-changer for ALP officials, and revealed Valimail’s patented Instant SPF technology. Valimail took charge of authenticating new services introduced during the intense election season while safeguarding ‘boutique domains.’ Continuous reporting and advanced troubleshooting fortified their security measures.

Guided by Daniel Leigh of Techtegrity, a respected Valimail managed service provider partner in Australia, the ALP reached DMARC enforcement within just 28 days. This swift success story now stands as a hallmark of excellence, inspiring ALP branches nationwide.
