AI USE CASE
AI phishing & email-threat detection
Catch phishing, BEC and malware emails the secure email gateway misses.
What it is
An ML model analyses email content, sender reputation, header anomalies and behavioural context (does this CEO usually email this CFO at this hour?) to catch sophisticated phishing and business-email-compromise attempts that signature-based gateways miss.
Data you need
Email gateway access, identity directory, 6+ months of email history.
Why it works
- Per-user feedback loop on quarantined emails
- Layered defence: keep your existing SEG
How this goes wrong
- False positives quarantining legitimate executive emails
- Single point of trust — vendor lock-in
When NOT to do this
Skip if you have no SOC or incident response process — alerts will go unactioned.
