2026 State of DMARC Report: Transportation & Logistics
Delivery updates, travel confirmations, and shipping alerts are trusted by default — which makes enforcement critical in this industry.
Key Takeaways
- Almost half of transportation and logistics domains are at DMARC enforcement, about 7 points above the global average
- Enforcement grew 7+ points in 2025, showing meaningful progress
- 22% of domains remain in monitoring mode, leaving threats unblocked
- Nearly 1 in 5 domains has no valid DMARC record, creating clear exposure
- High-volume, expected messages make this sector a frequent target for spoofing
The State of DMARC in 2026: Closing the Email Security Gap in Transportation and Logistics
Enforcement is growing but many orgs — and their customers — are still at risk.
In most industries, email is something people read. In transportation and logistics, it’s something people act on. A shipping alert or a delivery update doesn’t get a second look. People click, confirm, and move on. That’s what makes these messages so effective — and so easy to exploit when they’re spoofed.
Customer trust is why attackers keep coming back to the transportation and logistics sector: Attackers don’t need perfect impersonation — they just need something that looks routine and arrives at the right moment.
The data shows in our 2026 report real progress. More transportation and logistics organizations are moving to DMARC enforcement, and that shift is starting to change the baseline.
But gaps still matter here more than in most industries.When a domain isn’t enforcing DMARC, even temporarily, it creates an opening for messages that feel both urgent and legitimate.
For transportation and logistics, DMARC enforcement is about protecting the messages people rely on every day.
