Your email domain is one of the most visible parts of your organization’s identity. Every time you send a message, you are placing your brand name directly in front of your customers, partners, and prospects. If those emails arrive in their inbox reliably, your reputation grows stronger. If they are intercepted or spoofed, trust erodes quickly.
Securing your domain with authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC ensures that only authorized senders can use your domain. This reduces the risk of fraudulent emails, helps prevent phishing attempts, and improves the likelihood that legitimate communications will reach their destination. Without these safeguards, cybercriminals can impersonate your brand, putting both your reputation and revenue at risk.
Real-world impact of email fraud
Email fraud is not a distant, theoretical threat; it is a daily reality for businesses of every size. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), business email compromise (BEC) attacks caused $2.9 billion in reported losses in 2023 alone. These schemes often rely on spoofed domains to make fraudulent emails appear genuine.
In one FBI-reported case, a U.S. business was purchasing products from a trusted overseas supplier when it received what appeared to be routine payment instructions. The request directed the company to wire over $150,000 to a bank account controlled by cybercriminals.
When trust in your communications is damaged, sales pipelines stall, customer engagement drops, and marketing efforts lose effectiveness. Repairing that trust can take years, making prevention the most cost-effective strategy.
