Protecting Inboxes is a Civic Duty

In today's critical election landscape, protecting inboxes from phishing attacks is a civic duty that requires attention to Domain Messaging Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) records, Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM), multi-factor authentication, and monitoring email traffic for abuse vectors. The lack of focus on these security measures among the private sector has significant implications, as seen in recent phishing attacks against Burisma and Democratic Presidential Candidates. Twilio SendGrid's 360-degree view of traffic and senders helps identify malicious activity, while machine learning processes scan content for abuse vectors. A holistic approach to compliance is crucial to prevent bad actors from taking advantage of the election "noise" to barrage innocent people with socially engineered attacks, ultimately safeguarding business communications and customers' trust. By prioritizing compliance, deploying these security measures, and advocating for tools to simplify DMARC publication, individuals can help insulate themselves and their customers from phishing attacks.
