Built from the ground up, SPF is an easy-to-use, comprehensive solution for protecting your business from malicious impersonation. By requiring a firm's authorized users to send content using their firm’s designated IP, a higher level of message protection is afforded to the end-user or recipient. Confer with your IT or legal team to determine if SPF is a good fit for your company.
