Hello Peet,

“To all our customers on the journey to strong email authentication with Valimail, it is humbling to be recognized by you with 34 G2 badges this review cycle! Thanks to each one of you for being wonderful partners and teachers on our mission at Valimail to authenticate the world's communications.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a crucial period that calls for our attention to threats in the digital landscape. Among these, one that's often pushed to the background but deserves center stage is email. Hopefully you’re reading this newsletter because you understand the critical importance email plays in the security of your entire organization.

Email is the battleground where some of the most sophisticated social engineering attacks, like spear-phishing and whaling, are waged. These attacks exploit human psychology, leveraging the absence of the usual cues we rely on to assess trust—no facial expressions, no tone of voice, just cold text on a screen.

You've probably been inundated with the same stats again and again, like the fact that 91% of all cyberattacks start with phishing. Or that the FBI has reported $50 billion—with a b—in losses due to business email compromise (BEC). And due to that inundation, it's easy for some to look at email as an old problem. But those stats show the problem is not just as bad as it's ever been, it's getting worse. Much, much worse.

The bottom line is, even if the stats have become easy to ignore—the problem is real, and one misstep can wreak havoc. This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, don't just scroll past the warnings—take them to heart. Beef up your email security—starting with strong authentication—or get ready for a world of hurt.”
