2025
Microsoft, Google, Yahoo all now mandate DMARC

Google and Yahoo began requiring DMARC for bulk senders in 2024. From May 2025, Microsoft enforces DMARC across Outlook and Exchange Online for all business senders. PCI-DSS v4 now mandates anti-phishing controls including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Organisations without proper email authentication face rejected mail, damaged deliverability, and open exposure to domain impersonation.

The problem

Email is still the most common entry point for fraud, and most domains are not properly protected.

Every day, attackers send emails pretending to be your organisation. They target your customers, your suppliers, and your own employees. Without SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly configured and enforced, there is nothing stopping them from using your domain name to deliver phishing attacks, business email compromise attempts, and fraud.

01

Your domain used to attack your own customers

Attackers send emails from your domain to your customers. The emails look legitimate. Without DMARC enforcement, there is no technical mechanism to stop them. Your brand takes the reputational damage.

02

DMARC implementation is harder than it looks

Getting from a DMARC monitoring policy to full enforcement without breaking legitimate email requires months of analysis, careful DNS changes, and coordination across every system that sends on your behalf. Most organisations start and stall.

03

Shadow senders you do not know about

Marketing tools, CRMs, billing systems, support platforms — every SaaS tool that sends email on your behalf is a potential authentication gap. Most IT teams do not have a complete picture of everything sending as their domain.

Understanding the standards

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC work together. Skysnag manages all three.

Email authentication is built on three interlocking standards. Each one addresses a different vulnerability. All three are required to achieve meaningful protection against domain impersonation.

Get in touch
SPF

Sender Policy Framework

Specifies which mail servers are authorised to send email from your domain. Receiving servers check incoming mail against your SPF record and reject mail from unauthorised sources.

DKIM

DomainKeys Identified Mail

Adds a cryptographic signature to outgoing emails. Receiving servers verify the signature to confirm the email genuinely came from your domain and has not been tampered with in transit.

DMARC

Domain-based Message Authentication

Ties SPF and DKIM together. Tells receiving servers what to do when a message fails authentication — none, quarantine, or reject — and sends reports back to you so you can see what is happening across your domain.

The platform

Six capabilities. One dashboard. From monitoring to full enforcement.

Skysnag covers the full email authentication and brand protection lifecycle. Organisations can start with monitoring and progress to full enforcement in weeks rather than months.

Key Capabilities

What makes Skysnag different from manual DMARC tools.

Autonomous icon

Fully autonomous enforcement

Skysnag auto-discovers every sending source, configures the right authentication records, and progresses DMARC policy from monitoring through to full rejection without requiring manual DNS intervention at each step. Industry average implementation time is 6 to 12 months. Skysnag customers reach p=reject in weeks.

Management icon

Control Centre for third-party senders

Skysnag's Control Centre is the first solution that simplifies management of authorised third-party senders — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, HubSpot, Salesforce, Okta, and 1,000 more. Add or remove services instantly to ensure only legitimate platforms send on behalf of your domain.

Global network icon

Precision Globe Visibility

A real-time interactive visualisation showing email authentication activity worldwide, including the geographic distribution of spoofing attempts and legitimate sending patterns. Turns raw DMARC data into something your security team can act on.

Cloud platform icon

Multi-domain management at scale

From one domain to ten thousand, a single Skysnag dashboard manages authentication across your entire portfolio with zero per-domain overhead. Particularly valuable for enterprises with multiple brands and MSSPs managing client domains.

Who is this for

Any organisation that sends email from a domain they care about protecting.

IT and security teams

Need to get to DMARC enforcement without months of manual DNS work, while making sure no legitimate mail is disrupted in the process. Skysnag handles the technical complexity and shows the progress.

Marketing teams

Need campaigns to land in the inbox, not spam. Proper DMARC authentication improves deliverability, and BIMI certification puts the brand logo in recipients' inboxes for verified senders.

Financial services

Banks and financial institutions face targeted impersonation attacks against customers. DMARC enforcement is also required by PCI-DSS v4, NCA, and SAMA frameworks. Skysnag addresses both the security and compliance requirement.

Government and public sector

Government domains are high-value targets for impersonation. Citizens receiving emails purportedly from government agencies are particularly vulnerable to phishing. DMARC enforcement closes this attack surface.

MSSPs managing multiple clients

Skysnag's multi-domain management and MSP programme allows managed service providers to deploy and monitor DMARC across all client domains from a single pane, with white-labelling options available.

Any organisation sending bulk email

If your organisation sends more than 5,000 emails per day to Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook users, DMARC is now a requirement from the receiving platforms. Non-compliance means rejected mail and damaged sender reputation.

How the Kernel Helps

Email authentication looks simple. Getting it right across a real organisation rarely is. We make sure it is done properly.

The Kernel is Skysnag's authorised distribution partner across the UAE and the wider MEA region. DMARC adoption across the Middle East and Africa is still significantly lower than in Europe and North America, which means the window of exposure for organisations in this region is wider and the urgency is real.

We work with organisations to move from no email authentication to full enforcement without disrupting legitimate mail flows. We also help security teams understand what the DMARC reports are telling them and how to respond to what they find.

Weeks

Typical time to full DMARC enforcement with Skysnag and The Kernel's guided implementation, versus 6 to 12 months for manual approaches

01

Domain assessment

We start with a full scan of your domain's current email authentication posture, identifying every sending source, every gap in SPF and DKIM configuration, and every place where DMARC policy is missing or misconfigured.

02

Skysnag setup and configuration

We handle the initial Skysnag deployment including DNS record setup, DMARC policy configuration, and integration of your known sending services through the Control Centre. Your team does not need DNS expertise to get started.

03

Guided path to enforcement

Moving from p=none to p=reject requires monitoring each stage and resolving authentication failures for legitimate senders before tightening the policy. We manage this process to ensure you reach full enforcement without disrupting business mail.

04

Third-party sender management

We help you identify and authorise every SaaS tool and third-party service that sends email on your behalf, ensuring they are correctly configured in Skysnag's Control Centre so enforcement does not break legitimate communications.

05

Compliance mapping

We map Skysnag's enforcement and reporting to the specific compliance requirements your organisation faces, including NCA, SAMA, NESA, and PCI-DSS v4, so that email authentication is evidenced in your compliance documentation.

06

Ongoing monitoring and support

Email environments change as new tools are adopted and sending patterns evolve. We provide ongoing support to keep your DMARC configuration current and alert you when new unauthorised senders appear or authentication failures arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skysnag automates email authentication, taking organisations to DMARC enforcement roughly seven times faster than manual configuration. It protects domains against impersonation, business email compromise and the deliverability damage that follows spoofing.

DMARC is an email authentication standard that tells receiving mail servers what to do with messages that fail authentication checks. Correctly enforced, it stops attackers sending mail that appears to come from your domain — the mechanism behind most business email compromise.

No, and this is the most common misunderstanding. As of 2026 roughly 78% of domains have a DMARC record but only 42% actually enforce it. A record set to monitor-only observes attacks without stopping them. Protection begins at enforcement, not publication.

Around 31% of MEA's largest companies have no DMARC protection at all, and a further 68% sit at monitor-only — visible attacks, no blocking. The regional enforcement gap is wider than the global average, and attackers actively exploit it.

Skysnag is designed to move an organisation from monitor-only to full enforcement in around 30 days rather than the months manual configuration typically takes. The constraint is avoiding disruption to legitimate mail flows, which is what automation manages.

The Kernel distributes Skysnag across the UAE, Middle East, Africa and CIS through its channel partner network. A DMARC audit reveals current domain exposure in roughly ten minutes, which is the usual starting point for an engagement.

A DMARC record is a DNS entry published by a domain owner that tells receiving mail servers how to handle emails claiming to come from that domain but failing authentication checks. It builds on SPF and DKIM, adding a policy instruction and a reporting address so the domain owner gets visibility into who is sending email — legitimately or not — on their behalf.

When an email arrives, the receiving mail server checks whether it passes SPF and DKIM authentication and whether those results align with the domain in the visible "From" address. Based on the policy published in the domain's DMARC record, the server then delivers, quarantines, or rejects the message if it fails that check, and sends aggregate reports back to the domain owner summarising the results.

The DMARC policy tag tells receiving servers what action to take on emails that fail authentication: none takes no action and simply generates reports for monitoring, quarantine routes failing emails to spam or junk folders, and reject blocks them outright before delivery. Organisations typically start at none to gather visibility, then move gradually toward reject as they confirm all their legitimate sending sources are properly authenticated.
