John Sakellariadis writes: A report released late last month by Valimail, an email security vendor, warns that the vast majority of political action committees, states, counties, and election systems vendors have failed to implement a basic email security protocol known as DMARC, or Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance.
MarTechSeries interviewed Valimail’s CEO and co-founder, Alexander Garcia-Tobar, about the latest trends in email security, anti-phishing protection, and more.
Dan Raywood interviews Seth Blank, Valimail’s VP of Standards and New Technologies and M3AAWG’s technical committee co-chair, about DMARC and email authentication.
Joe Uchill quotes Valimail’s Seth Blank on DKIM: “It would ideally be paired with DMARC, a standard to make sure the email address in the ‘from’ line isn’t being spoofed.”
“Government agencies and political actors across the country remain vulnerable to a spoof email scam like the one blamed on Iran by the U.S. spy boss, cyber-analysts said.” Philip Ewing quotes Valimail’s research report in this article for NPR.
