ATT&CK mappings (CTID)
• T1566 Phishing — DMARC may materially reduces phishing campaigns that rely on spoofed or unauthenticated sender domains.
• T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment — DMARC may materially reduces phishing campaigns that rely on spoofed or unauthenticated sender domains. DMARC may reduce attachment-led spearphishing when the campaign depends on spoofed sender trust and domain authentication failure. It does not inspect the attachment itself though.
• T1566.002 Spearphishing Link — DMARC may materially reduces phishing campaigns that rely on spoofed or unauthenticated sender domains. DMARC may reduce link-led spearphishing at the sender-authentication and mail acceptance time. It does not inspect the attachment itself though.
• T1667 Email Bombing — ATT&CK explicitly discusses DMARC, SPF, and DKIM on the Email bombing technique page, including how enabling these mechanisms within an organization (through policies such as DMARC) may enable recipients (intra-org and cross domain) to perform similar message filtering and validation to mitigate this technique.
• T1684 Social Engineering — Social engineering is broadly defined as influencing users into actions while minimizing technical indicators, DMARC can be a meaningful control against the email-spoofing branch of this broader technique.
• T1684.001 Impersonation — DMARC may not stop all impersonation, but it reduces a major subset where trust is created through control of the visible sender identity and aligned sending domain.
• T1684.002 Email Spoofing — ATT&CK explicitly discusses DMARC, SPF, and DKIM on the Email Spoofing technique page, including how weak or absent DMARC leaves spoofed messages deliverable and how DMARC-enabled filtering mitigates the behavior
