Webinar - GCA DMARC Bootcamp (ILC Partner Event)

DMARC is considered the industry standard for email authentication to prevent attacks from malicious third parties sending harmful email using a counterfeit address. By implementing DMARC, you lower the odds of your domains being spoofed and used for phishing attacks against others. DMARC is also an important defense against Business Email Compromise (BEC), which is a growing risk for organizations of all sizes, with more than $1.7 billion in losses last year according to the FBI.

Continuing its efforts to accelerate DMARC adoption through advocacy and practical solutions, the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) is pleased to offer another installment of its DMARC Bootcamp. Beginning September 15th, GCA will conduct five weeks of online technical training focused on what DMARC is and how to implement it. We’ll cover the basics of SPF and DKIM and options of performing DKIM key generation and signing. We will go over each of the tags for a DMARC policy and provide a demonstration of how to create the DNS records for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on several systems.

By the end of the bootcamp, participants will have enough information and confidence to move to the highest DMARC policy level of “reject” immediately or within a few months.
