In a recent analysis of SGX top 200 companies, cyber security and compliance company Proofpoint found that 41% have implemented some form of email authentication protocol.

However, only 5% of those companies have adopted the recommended strictest level of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) protection that blocks suspicious emails.

In fact, nearly six in ten of the SGX top 200 companies have no DMARC protocol in place at all, with the majority of these being Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
