I corrected my AI email security analysis — 6 companies have real gaps
An analysis of email security among AI companies revealed that six companies have significant gaps in their email authentication. The initial assessment incorrectly suggested that many companies were vulnerable due to SPF softfail settings. After a reevaluation considering SPF, DMARC, and DKIM together, it was found that while most companies are well-protected, a few lack proper DMARC enforcement.
- ▪The original analysis claimed that 26 out of 39 AI companies were at risk due to SPF softfail settings.
- ▪Upon reevaluation, it was determined that 30 companies are well-protected with proper DMARC enforcement and DKIM alignment.
- ▪Six companies were identified as having gaps in their email authentication, lacking DMARC enforcement.

They're right.
