Security News > 2020 > February > Threat From Spoofed Emails Grows, While DMARC Implementation Lags
Agari's Cyber Intelligence Division, which concentrates on email threat investigations, has found that 60% of employee-reported suspect emails are false positives.
Wire transfer scams also increased from 19% to 22%, while payroll diversion scams fell from around 25% to 16%. There is another shift within the fraudulent emails.
Only 15% have DMARC properly enforced to reject emails that falsely claim to come from one of their domains.
Eighty-five percent of Fortune 500 companies are not using DMARC to protect themselves and their customers from fraudulent emails.
While large organizations can deploy expensive and sophisticated solutions to protect themselves from fraudulent incoming emails, DMARC remains the best solution to protect their customers from phishing attempts that use their brand name to add trust.
