PROBLEM

Employees Let Their Guard Down

Employees often trust messages, links, and attachments on collaboration platforms, assuming they're safe because they're for internal use only. This false sense of security is risky, especially with external users like partners and customers involved. The rise of collaboration tools has increased the chances of security threats such as phishing, BEC, ATO, and VIP impersonation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What collaboration platforms does IRONSCALES protect?

IRONSCALES extends protection to platforms like Microsoft Teams and Google Chat. It scans messages, links, and shared content for phishing attempts, impersonation, and malicious payloads, giving you visibility and control over threats that enter through non-email channels.

Why are collaboration tools becoming a popular attack vector?

Attackers know that as email security improves, users are more likely to trust messages inside Teams or Chat. These platforms are often used for approvals, file sharing, and real-time communication, which makes them ideal for social engineering, malicious links, and impersonation attempts.

How does IRONSCALES detect threats in Microsoft Teams messages?

IRONSCALES analyzes Teams messages for signs of phishing, impersonation, and malicious links — using the same Adaptive AI it applies to email. If a threat is found, it can alert your team, remove the message, and correlate it with related email-based campaigns.

Is this protection part of the same platform used for email security?

Yes. Collaboration tool protection is built into the IRONSCALES platform. It uses the same threat detection engine, automation controls, and admin dashboard, so you can manage email and collaboration security from a single interface.

Does IRONSCALES support real-time remediation in collaboration platforms?

Yes. When threats are confirmed in chat messages or shared links, IRONSCALES can alert the security team and remove the content if supported by the platform. This helps reduce dwell time and stops attackers from gaining a foothold through trusted internal channels.

Can IRONSCALES detect phishing links or impersonation attempts in shared documents or messages?

Yes. IRONSCALES inspects URLs and content shared through collaboration tools for signs of phishing or impersonation. The system analyzes link behavior, file names, and sender patterns to flag threats that might otherwise go unnoticed outside of traditional email scanning.

Does this protection require additional deployment or licenses?

No. Collaboration tool protection is available to IRONSCALES customers who have integrated the platform with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Setup is handled through secure API integration, with no need for separate infrastructure or gateways.

Can I see alerts and incidents from chat-based threats alongside email-based threats?

Yes. All incidents, whether they originate from email or collaboration tools, appear in a unified dashboard. This gives your security team full context for investigations and helps correlate phishing campaigns that span multiple communication channels.
