Boost Your Email Security: How SMTP DANE Complements SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

Arjan Cornelissen
Why SMTP DANE Is a Powerful Addition to Email Security Email remains one of the most critical communication tools for businesses, but it’s also a frequent target for cyberattacks. To combat spoofing, phishing, and impersonation, many organizations already rely on SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. These protocols help verify the sender’s identity and ensure message integrity. However, they don’t fully protect the transport layer—the actual path your email takes across the internet.

Grammarly, my writing assistant

Arjan Cornelissen
This week I will share a tool I use daily as a non-native English speaker and writer; spelling and grammar are not my best skills, so about five years ago, I found Grammarly. What is Grammarly Grammarly is a service that assists you with your writing skills. It marks your spelling and grammar mistakes and explains why things are a mistake and how you can improve it. It works by default in the browser, Microsoft Office, an app on your machine, and a keyboard on your mobile.

SPS Paris and SPS Belgium

Last two weekends I went to SharePoint Saturday in Paris and Belgium. It is always great to meet other SharePoint and Office 365 consultants, customers and suppliers. SPS Paris The first weekend I went to Paris where I did not read my emails to carefully, so I was at the wrong venue. I was not the only one. It took some extra time to get to the new location.

Enabling modern authentication on Office 365

Arjan Cornelissen
The first thing that might come to your mind might be that modern authentication is enabled for Office 365. Well that is partly true. It is enabled for SharePoint online, not for Exchange and Skype for Business if your tenant is created before august 1st 2017. While writing this about 95% of the tenants are older then 1 month so modern authentication is not enabled for Exchange and Skype for Business.

Benefits of the cloud

Arjan Cornelissen
This post was inspired by a Facebook group where there was a question what we could teach the others and since my expertise is about Office 365 and Azure and suggested that I could write about that, but it was to technical so they asked me to make teach a higher over topic. One of the topics is explaining the benefits of using the cloud. To do that I need to start what the cloud is.
