In today’s digital-first world, cybersecurity is one of the biggest threats facing organizations. Over the last 18-months, numerous high-profile organizations have fallen victim to ransomware attacks and data breaches, and most of these attacks originated as an email. Email is not only a cost-effective way for attackers to infiltrate an organization but is also highly successful.
IRONSCALES pioneered a self-learning, AI-driven, crowdsourced email security platform that continuously detects and remediates advanced threats like BEC, credential harvesting, account takeover and more in their customer’s mailboxes. IRONSCALES’ platform also integrates security awareness training to ensure that employees maintain their edge with spotting phishing emails.
“Email communication is a part of our everyday lives. An email holds sensitive information of every kind and keeping this information secure is the responsibility of every enterprise and individual. Our approach to email security is to understand the employees, organizations, communication patterns, and behaviours so our AI can detect anomalies and detect known and unknown threats. This is a different approach, but one we feel is best in protecting our customers and partners,” says Eyal Benishti, the CEO of IRONSCALES.
