What are industry collaboration programs (M3AAWG, GCA, APWG)?

**M3AAWG** (Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group) brings together MBPs, ESPs, and security organizations. Working groups develop best practices; conferences enable direct information sharing.

**GCA** (Global Cyber Alliance) promotes practical security improvements. Their **DMARC** work helped drive authentication adoption through accessible tools and guidance.

**APWG** (Anti-Phishing Working Group) coordinates **phishing** response across financial, technology, and law enforcement sectors. They maintain threat databases and facilitate cross-sector collaboration.
