Problem

The Pitfalls of Legacy SEGs

Even the sharpest SEGs can't detect new and innovative attack methods, leaving your team in a constant risky game of cyber whack-a-mole.

Exposed Blind Spots

SEGs often struggle to detect and stop advanced cyber attacks. Once these threats breach the SEG defenses, they tend to remain undetected within the system, posing a continuous risk.

MX Record Hassles

SEGs typically require manual MX record changes to react against known threats, a process that is not only slow but reactive in nature. This approach can leave significant gaps in defense during the changeover period.

Exhaustive Hunt

Post-breach threat hunting with SEGs can be a time-intensive task, requiring manual effort to search and eliminate threats throughout the environment. This process can drain resources and may not always be effective.

SOC AUTOMATION

Reduce Time Spent on Investigating Threats

Our platform redefines incident response with intelligent automation tailored to your security preferences. Here's what sets our remediation process apart:

  • Smart Email Clustering and Incident Response—Once a threat is detected by our machine learning models, our AI-Powered MSOAR steps in to cluster similar incidents, initiating an automated remediation process.
  • Customizable Control Over Automation—While our platform thrives on full automation, we understand the value of human discretion. Administrators can tailor the level of automation to their comfort, from fully automated remediation, or one that incorporates your personalized expertise.
  • Empowered User Reporting—When employees flag suspicious emails, our platform instantly analyzes and resolves most within seconds. For cases requiring a closer look, our streamlined manual review kicks in, expertly resolving issues typically in under 1-minute.

SIMULATION AND AWARENESS TRAINING

Empower Your Employees

Our platform incorporates phishing simulation testing and security awareness training (SAT) modules that automatically tailor simulations to each employee's specific threat profile.

Leveraging advanced social graphs, these modules pinpoint individuals or departments most at risk—whether due to frequent targeting, past test failures, or lack of previous exposure.

We empower VIPs and frequently targeted employees with our GPT-powered spear phishing module, crafting highly realistic simulations that enhance their ability to identify and respond to socially engineered email attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need IRONSCALES if I already use a Secure Email Gateway?

SEGs are effective at blocking known threats like spam and malware but often miss advanced phishing, business email compromise, and social engineering attacks. IRONSCALES operates after the SEG, inside the inbox, catching the sophisticated threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses.

Does IRONSCALES replace my SEG or work alongside it?

IRONSCALES can do both. Many organizations use it to augment their existing SEG by adding inbox-level detection and automated remediation. Others replace their SEG entirely, using IRONSCALES as a standalone email security platform with integrated training and simulation capabilities.

How does IRONSCALES improve threat detection beyond what SEGs offer?

IRONSCALES uses Adaptive AI and behavioral analysis to detect attacks without payloads, such as VIP impersonation, GenAI phishing, or credential harvesting attempts. It also clusters polymorphic threats and remediates them across all inboxes in real time.

Will IRONSCALES disrupt or duplicate what the SEG is doing?

No. IRONSCALES runs independently of your SEG and scans messages after they are delivered. This allows it to catch threats your SEG misses without interfering with existing controls or mail routing. It acts as an added layer, not a competing one.

What types of attacks does IRONSCALES catch that SEGs typically miss?

IRONSCALES is highly effective against socially engineered phishing, business email compromise, and zero-day threats. These attacks often lack links or attachments, making them invisible to SEG filters that rely on static indicators or signatures.

Can IRONSCALES automatically remediate emails missed by the SEG?

Yes. When IRONSCALES detects a threat, it automatically identifies and removes all matching emails from user inboxes. This prevents spread and cuts down on manual cleanup, saving your team time and reducing exposure.

Does IRONSCALES integrate with other security tools like SIEM or XDR?

Yes. IRONSCALES connects to SIEM, SOAR, and XDR platforms to support centralized monitoring, correlation, and automated workflows. You get full visibility into email-based threats alongside other data sources.

Is there value in keeping my SEG once IRONSCALES is in place?

It depends on your environment. Some organizations keep their SEG as an outer layer while relying on IRONSCALES for detection and response inside the inbox. Others find that IRONSCALES alone provides stronger, simpler protection and choose to retire their SEG altogether.
