January webinars: New DMARC requirements, emerging application-layer threats, and more

In case you’re still in denial about this … well, I hate to break it to you, but the holidays are really and truly over. Now it’s time to get cracking on your 2024 cybersecurity planning, determining your optimal resource allocation, and making the investments and strategic adjustments demanded by the ever-changing nature of the cyberthreat landscape.

To do it right, you need information and insights and guidance you can trust. And there’s no better way to get it than by attending Barracuda’s always-informative, never-too-salesy, relevant-data-driven, timely, and insight-packed webinars.

Here are three webinars coming up soon that you can register for right now:

New DMARC requirements

I know. I know. Most people would rather not think about DMARC at all if they can possibly avoid it. But in your heart you know it’s important — and if you’ve been paying attention, you might even know that getting your DMARC configuration dialed in is much easier and simpler than it used to be, thanks to capabilities like Barracuda Domain Fraud Protection.

This webinar, coming up on January 16, is going to go deep on some important changes that Google and Yahoo are making starting this February. They’re changing their DMARC policy requirements for email senders. Bottom line? Comply with the new requirements or your emails might not reach their recipients. Which is bad.

At the webinar, you’ll get all the details about the new requirements, including who they apply to, how to ensure you’re in compliance, and best practices overall for email authentication that protects your domain from being spoofed. Which is good.

So go ahead and reserve your spot now.

Domain fraud protection for schools

This January 17 webinar is going to cover a lot of the same ground as the one I just mentioned above — but in this case our panelists will be focusing specifically on the unique needs and challenges facing educational organizations.

Schools have limited IT resources, but they also have a user base that presents an unusual risk profile. So, if you’re a school-based IT professional, you probably have questions and challenges regarding DMARC configuration and compliance that are specific to your industry.

Complying with Google and Yahoo’s new DMARC sender requirements is just as important for schools as it is for any other organization, and this webinar is focused exclusively on what schools need to know and do to ensure their emails will continue to be delivered — and that their domains will be fully protected against fraud, abuse, and reputational impacts.

So don’t wait. Reserve your spot at the webinar right now.

New threats targeting your apps and APIs

Finally we’ve got this new webinar coming up on January 18, where you’ll find out all about the newest, most sophisticated threats targeting your web apps and APIs.

With more than 60% of recent data breaches involving attacks on web apps — including some very costly ransomware attacks — the application layer is fast emerging as a highly significant threat vector. And you may not be aware of just how vulnerable that attack surface can be.

This webinar will definitely benefit anyone involved in protecting apps and APIs against modern threats. You’ll find out why new vulnerabilities are emerging now, how the latest threats exploit those vulnerabilities, and what you can do to gain comprehensive protection against API threats, sophisticated bots, and new client-side attacks.

If your business depends on apps (are there any that still don’t?), then you’ll want to attend this one. Save your spot at the webinar now.
