10 Best SPF Checker Tools For Validating Your Email DNS Records

Ensuring robust email authentication is fundamental to protecting your domain name from email spoofing and phishing attacks. Central to this defense is the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), an authentication protocol designed to validate authorized IP addresses allowed to send emails for your domain. To maintain SPF compliance and maximize email deliverability, leveraging the right set of SPF checker tools is crucial. This section highlights the 10 best SPF validation tools that ensure your SPF records in DNS are error-free, up-to-date, and provide effective risk assessment against email-based threats.

Keeping Kiwis safe online: Tackling New Zealand's email security challenges

New Zealanders are feeling the pain of more frequent and effective cyberattacks. While knowing how to avoid attacks is important, it’s not enough to prevent damage. Consumers, businesses and service providers all need to do more to ensure safe email communications. Numbers tell the story.

Physical Mail and the Overlooked Attack Surface

Cybersecurity investment has never been higher. Organisations are running zero trust architectures, deploying endpoint detection across every device, and monitoring network traffic in real time. Physical mail rarely appears on the threat register for most security teams, yet mail-based attack vectors are active and documented, and tend to be effective in part because they attract less scrutiny than digital channels.

ChatGPhish: When AI Assistants Become the Phishing Surface

You can no longer blindly bank on the security boundary you trusted most, and no one is talking about it enough. For years, phishing took a familiar form, such as emails, URLs, and login pages. ChatGPhish breaks that stereotype, though. Permiso Security’s Andi Ahmeti disclosed this technique on 29 May 2026.

What AI Can't Hide When It Writes a Phishing Email

Phishing has always been a game of impersonation. But for decades, the tell was in the details: a misspelled word here, an awkward sentence there, a logo that was just slightly off. Security awareness training built an entire doctrine around those cues. Spot the typo, avoid the trap. That playbook is now obsolete. KnowBe4's latest Phishing Trends Report found that 86% of phishing attacks observed in the last six months involved some level of AI assistance.

How London anti-phishing specialists can help protect your business

Phishing remains one of the most common ways criminals gain access to business systems.

Working with an anti-phishing company in London gives you access to practical controls, employee training and ongoing monitoring designed around the way your organisation operates. The aim is to reduce the chance of a successful attack and ensure suspicious activity is identified quickly.

Inside Modern Cybersecurity Companies: How Businesses Are Defending Email and Critical Infrastructure

Every business now depends on connected systems to communicate, store information, manage operations, and support customers. Email platforms handle sensitive conversations, Linux servers power cloud environments, and digital infrastructure keeps websites, applications, and internal networks running around the clock. While these technologies create efficiency and scalability, they also create opportunities for attackers looking to exploit weak points.

The Role of Agentic AI in Phishing Security Training

Phishing attacks are evolving faster than traditional training programs can keep up. Advances in AI — including generative tools — are making attacks more dynamic, personalized, and harder to detect. At the same time, agentic AI for phishing security training is reshaping how programs improve, enabling them to adapt to user behavior and shifting risk in real time.
