Email Anti-Spoofing for SMB

Email spoofing is the act of sending emails with a forged sender address. It is a type of phishing attack that tricks the recipient into thinking someone they know or trust sent them the email. Typically the recpient is asked to click on a malicious link or attachment. These attacks are used to steal sensitive information such as login credentials or financial information.

In a survey conducted by CMMC ICU in early 2023, about 50% of the Defense Industrial Base SMB was unprotected from fradusters impersonating their email addresses. Failure to protect from spoofing not only hurt the targerted victims who could be company employees or other recipients, it will also damage the company email domain reputation. When recipients mark incoming emails as spam, email servers are more likely to mark other similar emails, including the legitimate ones as spam.
