Set up DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records to reduce the risk of attackers from faking your companyβs email address. It helps protect employees from phishing and impersonation scams.

The center image is a raised fist surrounded by green, red, yellow, and white lines. The text of the image says Juneteenth 1865.
The background of the image is the document of General Order No. 3
General Order No. 3 was issued on June 19, 1865, by Union General Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas, declaring that all enslaved people in Texas were free, thus enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation.
On Juneteenth, we reflect on freedom and those who move us forward.
Lisa Gelobter helped build Shockwave & the GIF, led gov tech reform, and now uses tech to fight bias with tEQuitable.
