Email Security Just Got Real: What Changed in 2025 with DMARC

Welcome to another hard-hitting episode of Cash in the Cyber Sheets, where we pull no punches and call out the silent killers of your digital credibility. This week, we’re talking about something that sounds boring—but will absolutely wreck your marketing if ignored: DMARC.

Spoiler alert: As of May 2025, if your email domain doesn’t have DMARC configured properly, your emails might never make it to your customers’ inboxes. Worse? They might end up being spoofed by cybercriminals impersonating your brand.

In this episode, we get right to the core of:

• Why DMARC (along with SPF and DKIM) is the new standard for email trustworthiness

• What changed in 2025 with email providers like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo—and why it matters to your bottom line

• The damage email spoofing can do to your brand reputation and customer trust

• The actual business risks of ignoring this “invisible” piece of your cybersecurity stack

• How to go from clueless to compliant in a few simple steps

We break down what DMARC looks like in plain English (yes, even the scary TXT record stuff), share how forensic reports can give you visibility into spoofing attempts, and explain why email authentication isn’t just a technical task—it’s a strategic one.
