The challenge
Your organization relies on digital communication for essential operations, but these channels are prime targets for cyberattacks. Sophisticated threats like phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and malware increasingly bypass traditional security measures, leading to financial losses, data breaches, and reputational damage. Protecting your communication infrastructure requires advanced solutions that can detect and neutralize evolving threats across multiple channels, ensuring business continuity and data protection.

The solution
Messaging security addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
API-native integration
Integrate directly with cloud mailboxes for comprehensive visibility and control. This enables post-delivery remediation and eliminates the complexities of traditional gateway deployments.
NLU-based impersonation protection
Detect payload-less threats by analyzing the intent and tone of messages using Natural Language Understanding (NLU). This identifies Business Email Compromise (BEC) attempts and other sophisticated impersonation attacks.
Multi-channel threat correlation
Correlate threat activity across email, Slack, Teams, and other platforms to identify multi-stage campaigns. This provides a unified security fabric for comprehensive protection.
Advanced "quishing" and "smishing" defense
Use computer vision to scan QR codes for malicious URLs and employ mobile-native sensors to block SMS-based credential theft. This protects against emerging phishing vectors.
Behavioral human risk scoring
Generate a dynamic "Human Risk Score" for every user based on their job function, history of being targeted, and security awareness training performance. This allows IT teams to prioritize protection for the most vulnerable users.
Genai defense
Use AI to detect AI-generated phishing attempts. This protects against the increasing sophistication of phishing lures.

How to evaluate messaging security
1
Deployment and architecture
Evaluate whether you require an inline (SEG) or API-based (ICES) architecture. API-based solutions are generally preferred for cloud-native organizations due to their ease of deployment.
2
Integration and ecosystem synergy
Ensure the messaging security solution integrates with identity providers (IdP) and SIEM/SOAR platforms. Integration with collaboration platforms like Slack and Teams is also critical.
3
Total cost of ownership (TCO)
Account for implementation fees, operational labor, and premium feature tiers beyond the initial per-user license. Be wary of vendors who charge extra for essential features.
4
Compliance and data sovereignty
In regulated sectors, verify the vendor's compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 Type II. Ensure data remains within specified geographic boundaries.
