More than half of banks incorporated in the UK are lagging on email cybersecurity measures, subjecting customers, staff, and stakeholders to increased risk of email-based impersonation attacks. That’s according to new research from cybersecurity firm Proofpoint, which analysed 150 banks incorporated in the UK as listed by the Bank of England. It found that only 47% implement the strictest and recommended level of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) – an email validation protocol designed to protect domain names from being misused by cybercriminals.
