IRONSCALES Winter ’24 Release - Automating Smarter Email Security

Written by Audian Paxson | Dec 12, 2024

It’s no secret that email security is getting more complicated by the day. AI-generated phishing? Check. Credential theft? Hard check. And let’s not forget about the balancing act of effectively protecting inboxes while simultaneously making things simple for the IT teams and MSPs on the front lines. That’s where IRONSCALES comes in—and our Winter 2024 Release is all about keeping you one step ahead.

This release is a big one, and it’s not just about shiny new features. It’s about refining what we do best: delivering adaptive email security that actually works (so you don't have to).

We’ve built on Gartner’s “4 Tenets to Address Advanced Email Security Threats,” ensuring that phishing detection, outbound email security, user education, and domain authentication are handled seamlessly in one integrated platform. With this release, IRONSCALES is the only vendor addressing all four tenets in a truly comprehensive way.

Let's take a closer look.

Autonomous Email Security with Autopilot

With Autopilot, we’ve taken our philosophy of automation one step further. While the IRONSCALES platform has always excelled at automating the vast majority of email security tasks—giving IT teams unprecedented efficiency—Autopilot is designed for organizations who want a truly hands-free approach. By fully automating detection and remediation, Autopilot eliminates even the small percentage of incidents that typically require manual oversight.

For customers who prefer more visibility and control, our Email Protect and Complete Protect plans still provide fine-tuned customization options. These plans fully harness Adaptive AI and allow you to shape the AI’s responses to fit your organization’s workflows and security needs, ensuring seamless integration with your team’s existing processes.

In short, Autopilot offers simplicity and speed for customers with lean IT resources, while our other plans offer adaptive customization for customers who want more granular control or need advanced capabilities like account takeover protection and dynamic email banners.

Adaptive AI Spam Hygiene

Spam isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a growing challenge as spammers use GenAI tools to create emails that look more genuine than ever. Traditional filters, built on static rules and policies, struggle to keep up with this evolution, often leaving IT teams playing catch-up.

Our Adaptive AI Spam Hygiene takes a smarter approach. By continuously learning and evolving, it distinguishes between legitimate business emails and high-quality spam in real time. It even learns personal preferences, recognizing what one person considers spam might be a priority email for another, and adjusts accordingly to ensure everyone’s inbox stays relevant.

This dynamic filtering adapts to changes in spammer tactics, ensuring your team isn’t bogged down by irrelevant emails while reducing the risk of potentially dangerous ones slipping through. With Adaptive AI, spam is one less thing you have to worry about.

DMARC Management - Authentication Made Easy

Setting up DMARC, SPF, and DKIM shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. With our DMARC Management, you can automate the setup, monitoring, and enforcement of these critical protocols, protecting your domains from spoofing while improving email deliverability.

Designed to handle even the most complex environments, this solution includes advanced features like hosted SPF flattening and intuitive tools for managing multiple domains. Whether you’re working with simple or intricate email ecosystems, our platform makes it easy to maintain compliance and ensure legitimate emails consistently reach their recipients.

Additionally, DMARC Management supports both RUF (for forensic analysis) and RUA (aggregate reporting), providing deep visibility into your email traffic. With actionable insights delivered through visual, easy-to-understand reports, you can monitor domain activity, detect potential threats, and ensure your email authentication strategies are working seamlessly.

Automated Multi-Language Delivery

Training your team shouldn’t feel like rocket science—or a logistical nightmare. Our new automated language detection delivers training videos in users’ preferred inbox languages. No more segmentation, no manual configurations, and no excuses for skipping those phishing awareness lessons.

 

What’s Next? While many of these features will be rolling out in the weeks ahead, you don’t have to wait to see how they’ll transform your email security.
