Does your business communicate with clients through email or participate in email marketing?
Email Giants Google and Yahoo have recently announced significant updates to their sender requirements with the main goal aiming to reduce spam and increase the security of their users. It is important for businesses to take the correct actions and authenticate their domain to maintain effective email communications within their organization and to their clients. The primary target of these changes are bulk email senders who are sending more than 5,000 emails in one day, especially to addresses such as @gmail.com and @yahoo.com. If you are a bulk email sender, you have something in common with cyber criminals, who often send thousands of emails a day for malicious purposes. These platforms want to ensure emails that are being sent to their users are real and safe, and while legitimate businesses can authenticate themselves scammers cannot.
Protect your Business through Authentication
- Protect your Reputation: Demonstrate your commitment to security and integrity. Authenticating your emails makes your business less likely to be associated with malicious activity by ensuring your emails are delivered securely.
- Maximize Marketing: Most businesses use email marketing as a tool to engage with their customers. Make sure emails are not flagged as spam and are reaching your clients.
- Minimize Legal and Regulatory Risks: Inadequate email security measures leave businesses vulnerable to legal and regulatory sanctions, potentially leading to costly fines and penalties. By prioritizing email authentication, your business can proactively ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, mitigating the risk of legal repercussions and safeguarding its reputation and financial standing.
- Prevent Financial losses: Implementing email authentication protocols ensures that both senders and recipients can trust the legitimacy of your emails, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling victim to fraudulent schemes. As a result, your business is shielded from potential financial losses associated with deceptive email tactics.
Consequences of not complying
If your business relies on Corporate or Business Class Email for marketing or operational purposes, it’s crucial to note that emails to or from Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and other providers could be affected. Failure to act has the potential to result in any email you send being marked as spam or completely blocked from reaching recipients. This underscores the importance of addressing email authentication requirements promptly to ensure seamless communication and prevent potential disruptions to your business operations.
