A highly aggressive, AI-driven cloud email security platform designed to mathematically detect and instantly remove highly sophisticated phishing attacks.

About Ironscales

Ironscales sits at the absolute forefront of modern Cloud Email Security. For decades, companies used Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) like Proofpoint or Mimecast to block spam. However, modern hackers stopped sending massive spam blasts containing viruses. Instead, they use AI to write highly personalized, flawless English emails pretending to be the CEO, asking the CFO to wire $50,000 (Business Email Compromise).

Legacy SEGs cannot stop this, because the email contains no virus and no malicious links; it's just text. Ironscales relies heavily on Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and behavioral AI.

Ironscales deeply integrates directly into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace via API. It mathematically maps the communication habits of the entire company. If the CFO suddenly receives an email from the 'CEO' requesting an urgent wire transfer, Ironscales' AI analyzes the tone, the vocabulary, and the hidden metadata. Realizing it is an incredibly sophisticated spoof, the AI autonomously reaches directly into the CFO's inbox and deletes the email before the CFO even has a chance to read it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and answers regarding Ironscales

Does Ironscales offer a free version?

No, they operate strictly in the premium B2B enterprise security market, requiring corporate licenses based on the number of employee mailboxes.

How does it compare to Proofpoint?

Proofpoint is a massive, legacy 'Secure Email Gateway' (SEG) that acts as an external wall. Ironscales is an 'API-based' solution that sits *inside* Microsoft 365. Many modern enterprises prefer API solutions because they are easier to deploy and often better at catching internal emails (from a compromised employee account).

Does it stop malware attachments?

Yes, while famous for catching text-only fraud, it also includes highly robust AI engines for scanning attachments and neutralizing malicious URLs.

What is crowdsourced intelligence?

If an employee at Company A reports a highly novel phishing email, Ironscales' AI analyzes it. If it is truly malicious, Ironscales instantly updates its global models, proactively deleting that exact phishing campaign from Company B before they are even attacked.

Does it require changing MX records?

No, that is its massive deployment advantage over legacy gateways. Because it integrates via Microsoft Graph API, an enterprise can deploy Ironscales in 5 minutes without altering complex DNS routing infrastructure.
