Email Security - How it works
How it works
AI-powered detection
We combine AI, global threat intelligence, and expert-driven rules to detect sophisticated phishing threats like
BEC. Each email is analyzed across hundreds of attributes—from sender reputation and message sentiment to
conversation context. Our patented email detection fingerprint (EDF) uncovers hidden patterns across phishing
campaigns. A unified detection engine merges ML scores with real-time threat signals to stop malicious emails
instantly. Continuous rescans and feedback loops, supported by our AI audit models and ex-NSA and CIA security
analysts, drive constant improvements in accuracy.
