SourceForge recently hosted Gerasim Hovhannisyan, the CEO and co-founder of EasyDMARC, a one-stop shop for your email authentication and deliverability needs. Gerasim shares DMARC know-how and offers real-world solutions to real-world problems.
What is DMARC, and why do companies need it?
If you have a domain, you need DMARC. Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance is an email authentication protocol that guards you against spoofing and phishing. Phishing continues to lead the cyberattack space, costing businesses financial, data, and reputational loss.
CEO & Co-Founder of EasyDMARC
CEO fraud (also called whaling) and business email compromise (BEC) are efficient phishing tactics, as they’re super targeted on the specific company and individuals with decision-making power.
So, what happens when you have a business domain but haven’t secured it with email authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI)? – You leave customers, partners, vendors, employees, and practically everyone in your contact list prone to receiving phishing and spoofed emails in your company’s name.
As you might realize, this can have far-reaching consequences: your contact receives a forged email with a malicious link, follows it, and fills in personal details or login information. A keylogger or similar software takes them and enriches the hacker databases. As simple as that.
From here, bad actors might use the information to steal personal or company data and begin a chain of other cyberattacks, such as account takeover, business impersonation, and identity theft.
Why do companies need DMARC? The answer is clear: integrity, control, and peace of mind.
Why choose EasyDMARC?
A phishing attack on a multimillion-dollar company inspired EasyDMARC’s creation. Now, EasyDMARC’s holistic platform helps businesses reach domain infrastructure security goals. We guide customers through SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI deployment and automate domain security processes for speedy and risk-free compliance. Another batch of our products contributes to eliminating email deliverability issues.
Monitoring and troubleshooting are key during DMARC deployment, so we give the customers all the tools they need to reach the highest level of protection as fast as possible.
What features does EasyDMARC have?
EasyDMARC constantly updates and improves its main feature list and creates better solutions to improve customer experience. We cater to businesses of any size. Regardless of how many domains they manage and what features they need, it’s always easy to make sense of and solve super technical issues on our platform – no expert help required.
Domain Scanner
Your EasyDMARC journey starts with our domain scanner. You enter the domain, and the analysis shows all existing infrastructure errors and problems. The checker will let you know whether you’re missing email authentication protocols or if there are syntax issues. Once you identify the issues, it’s time to plan the next steps in our platform.
EasySPF
If manually creating and setting up SPF records confuses you; the EasySPF feature should simplify SPF setup, flattening, and sending source reviews so that you don’t have to worry. Even with minimal knowledge about the SPF record, you can DIY your way through SPF creation, management, and troubleshooting with EasyDMARC.
Managed DMARC
Managed DMARC’s concept is similar to EasySPF, i.e., the platform helps you avoid manual labor during DMARC setup and maintenance. It eliminates the need to tinker with DNS records, ridding you of unintentional syntax errors.
Aggregate reports
We’ve mentioned that monitoring and fixing problems on the go are crucial for fast and efficient DMARC implementation. Here’s where reading, understanding, and acting on DMARC reports come in.
You’ll still receive DMARC aggregate reports if you’ve manually set up the proper tags in the record. However, DIY-ers don’t have the convenience of the user-friendly human-readable visualization EasyDMARC’s Aggregate report analyzer delivers. Instead of shuffling through the XML files to paint the whole picture of your data, we show you the bird’s eye view of all your trends and pain points on a dashboard.
Email investigation
While you can wait for aggregate reports for a holistic analysis; the email investigation tool is a fast and easy way to pinpoint existing problems. With this feature, you can check if a recent change in your DMARC record applied correctly without waiting for the full report. This solution is especially indispensable before an email campaign to ensure you don’t waste time and money.
Multi-Domain management
Email security and deliverability are becoming increasingly important for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). Thus, we dedicate a lot of resources to improving multi-domain management on our platform. Letting our users see the data for separate domains and comprising it into a full dashboard overview for in-house reporting holds much power for our MSP and enterprise clients. Appointing domain management roles and setting up reporting addresses for separate domains helps you stay organized when managing hundreds of domains.
How long does it take to implement DMARC with EasyDMARC?
The process with EasyDMARC is super smooth and fast. However, every business is unique and has specific needs.
We’ve had clients that reached compliance in three weeks, while others had to work closely with our support team for six months.
Regardless of the initial estimate, reality can be quite different. The implementation speed depends on a few factors, like the number of domains and sending sources, the email sending volume, etc.
Also, anyone who decides to take the compliance journey should realize that it’s a meticulous process that requires diligence. Overnight success doesn’t exist in the world of DMARC.
Final verdict
Whether you’re a solopreneur, a medium business, an enterprise, or an MSP, if you have a domain, you need DMARC, and EasyDMARC’s platform is the smart choice. It’s scalable, easy to use, and risk-free, meaning no emails will get lost due to deployment-related errors. With EasyDMARC, you don’t just buy a well-polished email authentication and delivery platform; you earn a superb customer experience and peace of mind.
