BIMI is short for \u201cbrand indicators for message identification”, a new standard looking at enhancing mail authenticity and veracity in electronic mail exchange. The standard in itself is not a security solution, in the best opinion it is a perception manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIMI is more like a trust association mechanism, a mechanism that deals with the same trust factor that identity attackers require from a victim to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    BIMI requires that you to have DMARC already setup along with an svg format logo available from your mail domain.
