As email remains the most critical communications channel related to the global pandemic, organizations face the increasing reality that their emails are not getting through to constituents, citizens, and customers. Central to communications and mitigation, these organizations are finding they need to ramp up communications to both the public at large and their constituencies, requiring them to send to their full email lists, therein creating issues for the recipients’ email systems and spam filters. Further complicating the process, bad actors are taking advantage of the global emergency communications efforts by transmitting dangerous messaging, including phishing, malware, ransomware, and spam in the name of COVID-19. In many cases, this is overwhelming spam filtering algorithms and materially reducing the effectiveness of email communication.
“It’s great to see Validity’s philanthropic efforts around delivery of critical messages,” said Don Owens, architect at Cisco Talos. “Cisco Talos, as well as other security organizations and products, leverages tools like the Return Path Certification program to provide positive signals to aid in allowing legitimate, important messages to reach the intended recipients. It’s very important that critical messages regarding the COVID-19 pandemic reach the inbox, while misinformation and other scams are blocked.”
