Email security in United States
How United States protects its email, measured from public DNS across 2,707,314 domains, and which sectors move the national picture.
Average score across 2,707,314 domains
Active. 1,617,959 with live mail routing.
Inactive. 1,089,355 with no mail routing found.
An inactive domain is not receiving email, yet it stays registered and can still be forged in your name. Securing it costs nothing and closes that door. 219,162 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this
How these domains spread across score bands
Where United States stands
Across the 2,707,314 domains we benchmark in United States, the average email-security score is 19 out of 100, a little above the global average of 13. That leaves the typical domain here open to being impersonated.
The headline covers every registered domain. Domains that carry live mail score 26, while those with no mail routing score 9. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
