Ironscales Updates Email Security Platform

Ironscales has added a new community chat room feature to its email security platform.

It allows internal collaboration between the security operations center (SOC) and security teams adjusting to remote work and telecommuting conditions.

Security practitioners discuss common and mutually experienced threats. Analysts can anonymously exchange questions and respond with guidance on suspicious email incidents.

Eyal Benishti is Ironscales’ founder and CEO. He said Ironscales’ platform already provides unique benefits to channel partners.

“For MSPs and MSSPs in particular, the platform’s ability to automatically detect, respond and even prevent phishing attacks with little to no human involvement has empowered managed service security analysts to spend less time on phishing mitigation and more time attending to other sensitive security tasks impacting their customers and themselves,” he said. “In addition, the platform is increasingly popular among resellers and distributors because of its ubiquity in solving all of the complexities of email phishing at both the gateway and mailbox levels. This means that their customers can consolidate email security and antiphishing tools into one solution.”

Ninety percent of Ironscales’ sales come through the channel, Benishti said said.

“Email remains the No. 1 vector for all cyberattacks, and the increase in frequency and complexity of daily attacks is putting a strain on security teams worldwide,” he said. “This two-way communication within our platform is yet another way Ironscales harnesses the collective power of human and machine intelligence to accelerate the decision-making process when the time from threat discovery to attack remediation is of the essence.”
