The post Valimail Recognized for Excellence in the 21st Annual 2025 Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity and Human Resources first appeared on Valimail.

In an era marked widespread disinformation, trust in digital communications is eroding. Malicious actors are increasingly exploiting email to impersonate brands, launch phishing campaigns, and spread false information—often using sophisticated methods made simpler by emerging technologies. This environment calls for a layered approach to email protection. 

Email authentication is the foundational, cost-effective defense that can significantly curb many of these malicious attempts at their source, providing future-proof protection that can scale. Additionally, DMARC uniquely protects outbound email to partners and clients thereby offering brand and compliance protection.

The report reveals considerable variation in email authentication implementations across industries:

• Online Retail leads with 94% of surveyed domains having implemented basic email authentication measures
• Financial Services shows strong adoption (80%) but one-third of domains lack enforcement policies that actually prevent spoofing
• Higher Education faces significant challenges with nearly two-thirds of domains unable to prevent impersonation attacks
• Healthcare lags behind with just over one third having implemented the bare minimum, non-protective DMARC policy of p=none
• Information Technology shows concerning gaps with nearly a third of surveyed domains lacking the ability to prevent the use of their domain name in spoofed email messages

“In 2024, we witnessed some of the most sophisticated email-based attacks in history,” said Al Iverson, Industry Research and Community Engagement Lead at Valimail. “From North Korean targeting of vulnerable domains to widespread supply chain attacks on U.S. municipalities and general attacks on educational institutions, cybercriminals are exploiting weaknesses in email systems with increasing precision, eroding trust in digital communications.”

Several alarming trends are highlighted within the report, including:

• Rising threat sophistication: AI-generated emails more than ever now convincingly mimic legitimate communications, dramatically increasing the success rate of phishing and spoofing attacks.
• Cross-industry vulnerability: Every sector from financial services to healthcare, government, and education faces significant email-based threats, with varying levels of preparedness.
• Protection gap: While more than 7.2 million domains have implemented some form of email authentication, approximately half remain insufficiently protected against domain spoofing.

Despite these growing threats, the report shows that Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) continues to be a highly effective approach that can authoritatively prevent the most pernicious spoofing attacks when properly implemented.

“What’s particularly concerning is that while many organizations have taken initial steps toward securing their email domains, a significant percentage have implemented overly permissive or non-protective policies,” added Valimail Co-Founder and CEO Alexander García-Tobar. “This creates a false sense of security while leaving these organizations vulnerable to impersonation attacks that can damage reputation, erode customer trust, and compromise sensitive information.”

Industry, government, and regulatory bodies worldwide are increasingly mandating DMARC compliance for industries handling sensitive data, such as finance and healthcare. Major email providers like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft require email senders to implement DMARC, improving deliverability and reputation for compliant organizations. Failing to comply with DMARC mandates can result in penalties, reduced deliverability, and reputational damage.

Valimail offers free resources for organizations to check their email security status through the Valimail DMARC Checker and provides DMARC reporting visibility through its Monitor solution.

The post Email Remains Primary Gateway for Disinformation and Cyberattacks in 2025 According to New Report from Valimail  first appeared on Valimail.

Valimail has been at the forefront of BIMI since 2018 as part of the AuthIndicators Working Group, the founding group of BIMI, and has been instrumental in the development of industry standards enabling brands to deliver their logos alongside email messages to billions of inboxes worldwide, increasing customer engagement with those messages and boosting brand trust. More recently, Valimail was a key partner in introducing a new capability to enhance BIMI with Common Mark Certificate (CMC), which provides greater flexibility and more affordable pathways for brands of all sizes that either do not have the right product trademark or do not have a trademark at all, looking to enhance their email marketing efforts while ensuring the security of their email communications. 

According to Wombatmail, BIMI adoption has seen a growth of 28.4% between January 2024 and January 2025, measured by the number of domains with BIMI logo records published in the top ten million domains.  BIMI drives significant marketing advantages, including increased brand visibility, higher user engagement, and a consistent brand experience. In addition a recent Yahoo Mail study found that BIMI implementation can increase email engagement up to 10%. Furthermore, BIMI provides a cost-effective channel for brand visibility, offering low-cost brand impressions compared to traditional advertising methods. 

With major email providers like Google, Apple, and Yahoo! supporting BIMI verification standards, Valimail’s BIMI Simulator empowers brands to make the case for implementing BIMI, by visualizing its impact to improve brand awareness and protect against impersonation. This provides a comprehensive view and practical application of BIMI, available in a downloadable report, which includes:

• BIMI Simulator: A tool that allows teams to simulate and visualize how the company’s logo will be displayed to recipients of BIMI-compliant email providers.
• BIMI Audience Insights Report: A tool that allows businesses to visualize the breakdown of outbound mail that the organization sent to mailboxes that support BIMI in the past 30 days.
• BIMI Inspiration: A comprehensive catalog of public BIMI records and logos of leading brands using BIMI, fostering inspiration and competitive insights.

One critical component of BIMI implementation is achieving Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) at enforcement, an email security protocol that helps companies protect against email spoofing by verifying email senders and protecting domain owners from unauthorized use. By adding BIMI to DMARC, companies transform email authentication from a technical requirement into a visible brand asset, driving organizations to prioritize and achieve DMARC enforcement to unlock the full potential of BIMI.

“Brand amplification and protection via BIMI adds additional ROI benefits to DMARC enforcement. Our pioneering work with the ecosystem on the BIMI standard extends past security and helps increase top-line revenue,” said Alexander Garcia-Tobar, CEO and Co-Founder of Valimail. “By visualizing the impact of BIMI, we’re motivating departments outside of security to partner with their infrastructure, messaging, and security teams to build a stronger defense against phishing and impersonation, while ensuring their brand’s integrity in every inbox.”

All BIMI Simulator features are complimentary enhancements available to current Valimail customers using Monitor, Enforce, and Amplify. Valimail will showcase these new features in an upcoming webinar on Wednesday, March 26; register to join here.

The post Valimail Announces Joint Webinar with DigiCert: “Stand Out in the Inbox with BIMI: The Inside Scoop on CMCs, VMCs, and More” first appeared on Valimail.

BIMI is an email specification that allows brands to display their logos in the inbox, increasing brand recognition and trust for messages that are legitimately from the brand. In order to take advantage of BIMI, email senders are required to have DMARC at enforcement for their logos to be displayed correctly.

Previously, implementing BIMI required a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC), which could be both time-consuming and expensive to obtain as not only was a registered trademark required, but that mark also needed to fit within the inbox reticle unaltered. With the introduction of CMCs, businesses can now implement BIMI without a registered trademark, making it easier to bring the appropriate brand logo to the inbox without the overhead. This makes BIMI more accessible to a wider range of organizations, and Valimail is the best solution for brands looking to implement DMARC, and have their logos displayed properly.

“Common Mark Certificates are a significant step forward in making email authentication and BIMI more broadly accessible, empowering businesses of all sizes to leverage this powerful technology. This provides IT a more streamlined process for implementing BIMI, while presenting a golden opportunity to email marketers, allowing them to boost brand recognition and engagement in a crowded inbox,” shared Seth Blank. “As CTO of Valimail and Chair of the AuthIndicators Working Group, the developers of Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), I’ve seen the work that has gone into spearheading this effort and couldn’t be more pleased to support Google’s endeavor. Ultimately, this makes the inbox safer for all.”

Google’s move aligns with industry efforts to combat the rising tide of phishing attacks. Phishing is the most commonly used cyberattack, with 95% of phishing attacks having a financial motive, according to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report. By simplifying BIMI implementation, Valimail is empowering more businesses to leverage this technology for enhancing email security as well as brand trust and consistency.

“DigiCert is proud to support the growing adoption of Common Mark Certificates, making it easier for businesses to implement BIMI and protect their brand,” said Dean Coclin, Senior Director of Digital Trust Services at DigiCert. “The ability to use CMCs without requiring a registered trademark opens up more opportunities for organizations to enhance their email security and branding efforts. Valimail’s integration of CMCs ensures more companies can take advantage of this technology to build trust with their customers while protecting their communications.”

Valimail Amplify is the leading automated BIMI solution on the market. With Amplify, businesses can:

• Easily implement BIMI with or without a registered trademark
• Manage multiple brand entities, domains, and logos
• Remove the complexity of BIMI implementation with an automated solution that makes inbox logo management easy
• Flexibility to manage multiple brand entities, domains, and logos
• Easily assign the right brand assets to the right domains, and instantly swap them in and out as needed

Alexander García-Tobar was named Editor’s Choice Chief Executive Officer for his exceptional leadership and contributions in advancing email authentication and security globally. Valimail won both the “Publisher’s Choice Email Security and Management” and “Best Product Anti-phishing” awards due to the extensive capabilities and benefits provided by its suite of patented solutions: Valimail Monitor, Valimail Enforce, and Valimail Amplify:

• Valimail Monitor, the most broadly used DMARC monitoring service in the world, used by 44,000 companies globally, offers a hassle-free monitoring solution that identifies all email-sending services by name, not just by IP address, which simplifies the process of DMARC report analysis. It expedites service configuration and DMARC implementation, thus taking a significant step toward preventing phishing attacks. The global visibility into all senders within a domain and control over non-authorized cloud services are critical advantages in securing email communication channels.

• Valimail Enforce accelerates the journey to DMARC enforcement through patented automation, eliminating the need for manual SPF and DKIM configuration. This not only saves substantial amounts of time and money (up to $400k in FTE expenses annually) but also increases email deliverability by up to 10%. The one-click authorization for services and the assurance of continuous DMARC protection without the need to touch DNS settings make it a powerful solution for businesses to maintain high standards of email security.

• Valimail Amplify focuses on automating BIMI and similar brand management systems, which is revolutionary in managing brand consistency at scale. It offers a fast-track BIMI process for organizations and partners with leading certificate authorities for the management of Verified Mark Certificates. The increase in email open rates by 10% on average and the ability to control brand logo display are significant for brand visibility and trust.

“Together, these patented solutions offer the industry’s most powerful and comprehensive approach to ensuring email authentication, from identifying and authorizing senders to enforcing DMARC and leveraging branding for enhanced trust in email communication,” said Alexander García-Tobar, CEO and Co-Founder, Valimail. “We take our role as leaders in the email authentication and security space seriously. From founding the working group developing BIMI to DMARC Chair at the IETF, we are focused on extending and developing the next generation of security standards for everyone.” 

García-Tobar continued, “I am deeply honored to have been recognized as the ‘Editor’s Choice Chief Executive Officer’ by Cyber Defense Magazine and its Global InfoSec Awards, one of the most prestigious and coveted cybersecurity awards in the world. No leader stands alone, and our amazing team here deserve most of the credit.”
