Offerings
9 offeringsAgentic Email Security
An API-based email security platform that re-analyzes every inbound message after native filtering using dual ML and LLM models to detect AI-powered threats that Google and Microsoft filters miss, including credential phishing, business email compromise, callback phishing, and malicious payloads. When a threat is confirmed, it is automatically remediated across every inbox it reached with no mail flow changes or MX record updates required. Every detected attack feeds back into employee risk scores and can trigger targeted training.
AI & Deepfake Threat Training
Specialized training modules focused on AI-powered attacks including deepfake video scams, voice cloning, AI-generated phishing, and other modern threat vectors. Employees can experience realistic AI deepfake simulations of executives embedded directly into training modules in a safe environment. Training is purpose-built for the AI era and covers threats that legacy platforms were not designed to address.
AI Governance
A platform that provides visibility into how employees use AI tools across browsers, desktop apps, and developer workflows, surfacing sanctioned and unsanctioned tools, personal versus company accounts, and risky prompts containing credentials, secrets, or personal information. Security teams can enforce context-aware policies that redirect employees to approved tools, block sensitive data from leaving the organization, and trigger real-time coaching when risky behavior occurs. Compliance reporting is included for oversight and follow-up.
Compliance Training
Expert-built compliance training courses covering SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other major regulatory frameworks, available in 39 or more languages. Custom compliance training can be instantly generated from an organization's own internal policies using AI. Training completion and risk data are automatically reportable for auditors by department or employee group.
Deepfake & AI Impersonation Protection
A unified solution combining Adaptive Email Security, phishing simulations, and security awareness training to defend against deepfake and AI impersonation attacks across every channel. Email Security detects and blocks executive impersonation and business email compromise before messages reach the inbox, while phishing simulations safely expose employees to deepfake scenarios across email, phone, and SMS. Interactive training reinforces verification behaviors when requests involve payments, credentials, or confidential data.
Email Threat & Fraud Protection
An email security solution that analyzes the identity, behavior, content, and business context of each inbound message to detect socially engineered threats that legacy secure email gateways and native filters miss, including phishing, impersonation, business email compromise, payment fraud, and vendor compromise. Confirmed threats and related messages are automatically removed organization-wide, and real attack data informs risk scoring, simulations, and training. Deployment is API-based with no MX record changes required.
Phish Triage
A tool that makes it easy for employees to report suspicious emails from any inbox, with AI instantly classifying and remediating reported threats. Security teams can configure confidence thresholds to control when automation takes over versus requiring human review. Reported phishing data feeds directly into email security detection to improve accuracy over time.
Phishing Simulations
AI-powered phishing simulations that test employees across multiple channels including realistic email phishing, voice call and SMS phishing, and OSINT-based AI spearphishing. Simulations can include deepfake scenarios modeled on executives and can be launched manually or placed on autopilot via AutoPhish. Detailed reporting shows which employees are at risk and results automatically trigger targeted training.
Security Awareness Training
An interactive training platform with over 1,000 modules covering AI threats, phishing, voice cloning, deepfakes, and compliance topics. Training is automatically assigned based on employee role, risk score, and triggered actions, with completion tracked across the organization. Includes an AI Content Studio for generating custom training modules from any prompt or internal policy.
