IronScales creates awareness and proactive behavior in your employees, emphasizing that everyone has a stake in intercepting phishing attacks. The phishing training and simulation is gamified to promote worker buy in.
“Even I was taken aback by the numbers we found,” says Eyal Benishti, CEO of IronScales. “There have been some notorious phishing attacks, but the criminals have become very clever about how they disguise their malware, often behind official-looking messages. They’ve developed such sophisticated tools that they continue to fool people at the top, but IronScales is here to stanch the phishing tide.”
Once an attack is detected and the alarm is triggered, IronScales forensics are automatically executed. Multi AV, sandbox scan, and other proprietary analyses are performed against ransomware, malware, bots, spam, spoofing, pharming, and general phishing attacks.
“Various factors that influence the results, such as the volume of email a particular employee deals with on a given day or how used they are to handling request from outside of the organization. However, regardless of who, what and where, IronScales solutions reduce the impact of cybercrime on the bottom line,” concludes Benishti.
