What is preemptive email security?

Preemptive email security shifts from waiting for attacks to happen and reacting, to anticipating threats before they arrive. IRONSCALES uses three AI agents — Red Teaming Agent, Phishing SOC Agent, and Phishing Simulation Agent — to research your organization's attack surface, model realistic threats, harden detection, investigate incidents at forensic depth, and train employees on the specific attacks they're most likely to face.

What does the Red Teaming Agent do?

The Red Teaming Agent performs continuous reconnaissance across social media, press releases, job postings, and vendor announcements to identify the information attackers would use for social engineering. It generates realistic threat models — the emails attackers would actually craft for your organization — and feeds them into your Adaptive AI to harden detection before the first attack arrives.

What does the Phishing SOC Agent do?

The Phishing SOC Agent delivers L2-level forensic investigation in minutes. It runs five parallel analysis tracks simultaneously: sender verification, body analysis for social engineering tactics, URL chain inspection, attachment scanning through 100+ malware engines with sandbox detonation, and relay tracing. It delivers a Security Assessment with a clear verdict, key evidence points, and a full activity log.

What does the Phishing Simulation Agent do?

The Phishing Simulation Agent generates hyper-personalized simulations based on what attackers actually know about your organization. It harvests publicly available intelligence, clusters employees who share exploitable context into Phishing Threat Clusters, and delivers unique context-aware phishing emails in each employee's native language. It scores vulnerability across four factors: click history, reporting rate, role severity, and training gaps.

How is this different from traditional email security?

Every email security solution on the market waits for an attack and reacts. Speed varies, but the model doesn't. When every attack is unique, personalized, and built from scratch autonomously, reacting faster isn't enough. IRONSCALES breaks the cycle with three agents: one that anticipates attacks, one that investigates threats at forensic depth, and one that educates employees on the tactics targeting them specifically.

Platform | What's New

Protect Better

Defend against image-based phishing attacks, like quishing, on Google Workspace (NEW) and Microsoft 365.

Empower the Organization

Deliver engaging, streamlined cybersecurity training courses that empower employees, enhancing organization-wide cyber awareness.

Simplify Operations

Streamline your email security workflow, automate remediation, and crush the time you spend responding to user reported emails.

Three AI Agents.
One Preemptive System.

Phishing 3.0 is perfect impersonation at scale. Attackers use AI to research your organization, craft personalized lures, and bypass detection on the first try.
Reactive security can't keep up.

IRONSCALES Winter '26 introduces a three-agent architecture that shifts email security from reactive to preemptive, closing the gap before, during, and after the attack. Plus new outbound encryption and expanded deepfake protection that works without friction.

anticipate

Red Teaming Agent

See what attackers see. Block what they'd send, before they send it.

Here's what attackers do before they send you a phishing email: they scan LinkedIn, Facebook, your press releases, your job postings, and map your vendor relationships. Our Red Teaming Agent does the exact same thing. It runs the same OSINT reconnaissance real attackers use, then generates attack simulations from what it finds.

Our Adaptive AI learns from attacks across 17,000+ organizations. Our Red Teaming Agent trains it on attacks designed for your organization. Run it on a schedule or on demand. Either way, your detection models get harder to beat before an attack ever lands in someone's inbox.

investigate

Phishing SOC Agent

L2-level forensics in minutes. Not hours. Not "we'll get to it."

Your CEO forwards a suspicious email to the security team. Legal wants an answer by end of day. Sound familiar?

Our Phishing SOC Agent handles exactly this. It runs five parallel analysis tracks at once: verifying the sender, analyzing the body for social engineering, inspecting every link through its full redirect chain, detonating attachments across 100+ engines, and tracing the relay path end to end.

The output is a complete Security Assessment. Clear verdict, key evidence, full activity log showing every step the agent took. Ready for reporting, escalation, or that compliance review nobody wants to wait on.

educate

Phishing Simulation Agent

Real reconnaissance. Real attack tactics. Real training.

Are your phishing simulations training employees on the attacks they'll actually face? Or just testing whether they can spot the obvious ones?

Our Phishing Simulation Agent pulls real intelligence about your people. LinkedIn profiles, data breach exposure, recent job changes. It builds simulations that mirror the actual tactics targeting your organization, generates personalized phishing emails in each employee's native language, and prioritizes by risk so your training budget goes where it matters most.

You review and approve one sample per employee cluster. The agent handles the rest.

new capability

Email Encryption

Inbound and outbound email risk. One platform.

If someone on your team sent sensitive data to the wrong recipient tomorrow, would your current policies catch it?

Our Adaptive AI reads the context of outbound messages and applies encryption surgically, so your team isn't choosing between over-blocking everything and hoping for the best.

Your security team gets broader risk coverage. Your compliance team gets enforceable controls they can actually point to during an audit. And sensitive data leaves your org protected by policy, not by people remembering to do the right thing.

enhanced

Deepfake Protection Enhancements

Now with enhanced voice analysis and zero-touch enrollment.

Phishing 3.0 attacks don't stop at email. An attacker compromises an account, then joins a Teams call as that person. Our Deepfake Protection catches them there too, verifying identities in real time using both visual and voice analysis. Voice detection works independently of video, so impersonation attempts get caught even when cameras are off.

We've also eliminated enrollment friction. Your employees' protected identity profiles now build automatically from normal meeting activity. No manual uploads, no IT involvement. And while most competing tools rely solely on artifact detection, we layer behavioral and biometric analysis on top of identity verification, covering the full attack chain from email to account takeover to deepfake.
