What is HSTS? The HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (often abbreviated as HSTS) lets a web site tell browsers that it should only be accessed using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP.  This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by telling the browser it should never interact with their domain without first establishing a secure HTTPS connection.   What does this mean for Marketo assets? A domain can assert the HSTS policy for all of it's subdomains.  This means both the subdomains used for Marketo landing pages and the subdomains for Marketo tracking links must also be secured with SSL certificates.  If HSTS is asserted and the Marketo subdomains are not secured, people that visit landing pages or click on tracked links in emails will receive security errors and browsers will not load the pages.   This is resolved by purchasing both Secured Domains for Landing Pages and Secured Domains for Tracking Links.  There are very few exceptions where a domain utilizing HSTS will not need to secure both landing page domains and tracking link domains.   How do I know if my domain is using HSTS? Reach out to your IT and/or web development team to confirm whether or not your domain utilizes HSTS and if both Secured Domains and Tracking Links are necessary for your business.  If your website utilizes HSTS and has the "include subdomains" flag set to true, you will need to secure both your landing page domains and tracking link domains in almost all circumstances.   Google Chrome has a built in HSTS checker that you can use to verify your HSTS settings.   1.  Visit the root domain of your website with the Chrome browser.  For example, if your Marketo landing pages use visit.acme.com, navigate to acme.com.  This will load the domain's HSTS policy into Chrome.   2.  Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#hsts in Chrome.  This will load Chrome's HSTS checker.   3.  In the "Query HSTS/PKP domain" section, type in your domain you wish to check.  Click "Query".   This is a article attached image   4.  If the query returns "Found" with a list of configuration settings, you will need to check two settings: If either "status_upgrade_mode" or "dynamic_upgrade_mode" have the value "FORCE_HTTPS" or "STRICT", then the domain is enforcing HSTS and all connections are made over HTTPS. If either "static_pkb_include_subdomains" or "dynamic_pkp_include_subdomains" are equal to "true", then all subdomains are subject to the HSTS policy.   If both of the above are true then both Secured Domains for Landing Pages and Tracking Links may be required.   If the query returns "Not Found", or is not using a "FORCE_HTTPS" or "STRICT" policy then the landing page and tracking link subdomains may not have strict HTTPS requirements.     Always verify with your IT and/or web development team as to what your domain's security policies and requirements are.  Failure to properly secure your landing page or tracking domains according to your domain's security policy may result in landing pages or tracking links not resolving in browsers.  A lack of a strict HSTS policy does not necessarily mean you do not need to secure your Marketo domains.       My domain asserts HSTS on my subdomains but I do not have HTTPS encryption with my Marketo subscription.  What do I do? Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to discuss purchasing Secured Domains for Landing Pages and Secured Domains for Tracking Links.  Configuration instructions can be found below: Overview & FAQ: Secured Domains for Landing Pages Overview & FAQ: Secured Domains for Tracking Links

Issue You are experiencing slow processing of campaigns, smart lists, and reports.     Solution There are three key components that can slow down an instance: Number of trigger campaigns: Trigger campaigns are always on, always listening.  If there are 50 campaigns triggering at the same time, all the 50 triggers will be in queue, slowing down your processing and routing inside Marketo. Solution: Reduce the number of Triggers. Convert some of the triggers to batches: Batches also run all the flow steps for every lead at once, instead of serially, which reduces total processing time.   Complexity of smart lists: The more complex a smart list, the harder it is for the system to figure it out, which increases backend processing and even creates campaign failures from timeouts. Solution: Reduce the number of nested smart lists called in a smart list. Whenever you ask Marketo to call another Smart List, it has to wait until all of the other smart lists finish, before putting together the final counts. Instead of Marketo looking for the list and running it, just put the filters in the trigger itself.   Volume of Leads: With regular cleaning and good systems design, it is fairly easy to keep your system running fast. Reduce the number of leads that can flow through with filters. Clean up the inactive leads at regular intervals.

For those in highly regulated industries, your company may additionally require that you securely encrypt the Marketo tracking links embedded in Marketo emails. Remember that Marketo takes the URLs you place inside of emails and shortens them using the "Branded Tracking Link" domain (this is another CNAME you set up in Marketo under Admin--> Email). These tracking links are how Marketo enables you to track engagement with your emails. Overview & FAQ - Overview & FAQ: Secured Domains for Tracking Links What's Changing Marketo has discontinued the Secured Page Services: SSL for Tracking Links service and its manual certificate renewal process. This is being replaced with the Marketo Secured Domains for Tracking Links product which provides all needed certificates and manages renewals automatically. Action Required To secure your email tracking links, contact your Marketo Customer Success Manager to add the Secured Domains for Tracking Links product to your subscription. Once you’ve purchased Secured Domains for Tracking Links for your instance: An automated message will be sent to the Support Admin on your account They will need to respond to the message with the Munchkin ID of the instance needing Tracking Links set up. Responding to this case will auto generate a Support Case for a Marketo technical support engineer to help complete the process. Marketo will then have certificates generated to cover all the domains and subdomains that you’ve set up in your instance. Within 3-business days, we will create a secure server endpoint. Please plan accordingly for this 72-hour turn-around-time. Do I need Secured Domains for Tracking Links? Secured Domains for Tracking Links ensure that tracking links can be served securely for domains which have implemented HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security). HSTS is a web server directive which forces all subsequent requests for resources on that domain to be loaded through HTTPS. If you have implemented HSTS at your site on any domain that you are choosing for either your Landing Page CNAME or your branded email tracking links domain, you will need Secured Domains for Tracking Links and/or Secured Domains for Landing Pages. How is the new Secured Domains for Tracking Links Better? With Marketo’s new Secured Domains for Tracking Links product, you no longer have to provide renewal/updated certificates to Marketo. We’ll procure any necessary certificates and manage their renewals automatically – giving you a more secure and convenient solution for securing your links in emails! Do I have to upgrade? An upgrade is required. Marketo no longer supports the legacy Secured Page Services: SSL for Tracking Links certificate renewal process. Will my tracking links automatically convert to HTTPS? You will not see tracking links in your Marketo emails changed to HTTPS (they will remain prefixed HTTP). However, when an end user clicks the link, if HSTS is enabled for the domain in the link being clicked and the browser is aware, the request will be automatically changed to HTTPS by the browser and served securely via HTTPS before re-directing to the destination of the link.   This means that no insecure connection occurs because the browser recognizes the HSTS security policy.  HSTS preload is required for this to work.   If a tracking link top level domain is not on the HSTS preload list, then link clicks will be insecure until the browser becomes aware of the HSTS policy on the target domain by visiting the site. Will my old links in emails continue to work? Links in emails will continue to function normally. Is this article helpful ? YesNo

  What’s changing? Previously, customers could choose whether they wanted to secure their pages and tracking links via SSL. The responsibility of procuring, maintaining, renewing, and securely sending the certificates to Marketo lie entirely with the customer – Marketo just hosted them. In 2017, Chrome and Firefox announced they would begin flagging any unsecured pages with clear ‘NOT SECURE’ warnings in their 2018 releases to encourage the use of SSL, and even distrusted certificates from certain providers. This essentially designated the certificate as a foundational security necessity to prevent customers fleeing from unsecured sites.   This change reinforced the increasing need for companies to protect their data and mitigate against online security threats. Recent studies have shown that ~45% of organizations are targets of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, typically lasting a few hours, and potentially costing companies not only lost revenue, but also customer data and overall trust. [1]   Simply put, an SSL certificate just isn't enough anymore, which is why Marketo updated how we manage SSL certificates and the overall security of our customers' landing pages with the introduction of Secured Domains, a comprehensive managed service, in early 2018.   How is Secured Domains different than an SSL certificate? In contrast to our previous solution, Secured Domains is less focused on the SSL certificate itself, and rather the security and performance benefits gained from our partnership with Cloudflare, an industry leader in secure solutions. Secured Domains not only includes the necessary SSL certificates, but, more importantly, provides robust security protection thanks to the investment made to secure our servers, which host Marketo landing pages, behind Cloudflare’s trusted security infrastructure.   With Cloudflare’s enterprise-grade tools securing our servers, we protect against security vulnerabilities and attacks on your Marketo pages. Once Secured Domains is implemented for your instance, your domains will be protected via the following:   Managed Web Application Firewall (WAF): keeps your pages secure by filtering and deflecting malicious attacks DDoS Protection:  keeps your pages live by absorbing attacks and preventing the pages (and Marketo's infrastructure) from crashing Content Delivery Network (CDN): a load balancer to distribute page views based on geolocation, which allows landing pages to load more quickly   Secured Domains also shifts the ownership of SSL certificates onto Marketo, which eliminates the hassle of Marketing & IT teams having to manage them and, because they renew automatically, you no longer need to worry about your landing pages crashing due to an expired certificate. The certificates are provisioned by Cloudflare and authored by DigiCert at an enterprise-level offering. For more information, please see our Overview & FAQ: Secured Domains for Landing Pages.   How do I learn more about Secured Domains? If you’re an existing customer, please contact your Marketo Customer Success Manager to add Secured Domains to your subscription. As of September 2019, a base Secured Domains package, which secures your first landing page domain and first tracking link domain, is now included automatically upon your next Marketo renewal. If you are unsure how to get in touch with your Customer Success Manager, please contact CustomerCare@marketo.com.   If you’re considering Marketo for your marketing automation solution and would like more information on Secured Domains and how it can improve your site security and performance, please contact GRP-Marketo-Sales@adobe.com.     Note Due to the security and risk mitigation enhancements we've made to protect Marketo servers, all customer domains are now hosted on Cloudflare. Marketo customers will be required to use the auto-renewing SSL certificate included with Secured Domains unless an exception is granted (more information on exceptions can be found in the FAQ). If you use more than the 1 landing page domain and 1 tracking link domain covered under the base offering, additional domains may simply be added on a la carte - talk to your CSM or Sales contact for pricing details.   [1] Tim Matthews, Imperva, DDoS Impact Survey Reveals the Actual Cost of DDoS Attacks, 12 Nov. 2014
