Category: Email Security and Domain Management

Description:

This metric retrieves the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record for domains managed in the Internet Domain/DNS inspector. It provides details about authorized email senders, ensuring better email authentication and protection against spoofing attacks.

Purpose:

• To validate SPF records and ensure email sender policies are correctly configured for each domain.

• To prevent email spoofing and improve domain reputation through proper email security configurations.

• To ensure compliance with email authentication standards like DMARC.

How it Works:

• Queries the EmailSecurityOverview.SpfRecord field to retrieve the SPF record for each domain.

• Displays the SPF record details, including the authorized email sender domains and IP addresses.

Beneficiaries:

• IT Administrators: To verify and manage domain email authentication configurations.

• Security Teams: To ensure SPF records are implemented correctly and reduce vulnerabilities to spoofing.

• Compliance Officers: To verify adherence to email security best practices and organizational policies.
