What is DMARC?

DMARC is an email authentication system that protects your organization’s domains from spoofing, phishing, and other cyber attacks. It builds on the widely deployed email verification techniques, SPF (Sender Policy Framework),and DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail).

What does DMARC Stand for?
