Problem
Internal Attacks Evade Visibility
Lateral phishing, or internal spearphishing, attacks are malicious emails sent from a compromised user to another internal employee, encouraging them to send money or provide access to sensitive data. Secure email gateways often fail to detect these attacks because they have limited visibility into internal email traffic or compromised user accounts.

- Inspects all internal messages with visibility offered by the API architecture.
- Understands business context using human behavior AI to analyze communication patterns like reporting relationships, message history, and frequency.
- Reviews email content to detect malicious links, even when phishing pages are behind redirects.

OUR IMPACT
We started to see a large increase in the number of BEC attacks and social engineering attacks, primarily targeting senior leadership. We saw emails impersonating clients with fraudulent invoices seeking payment. Credential phishing emails impersonated our CEO and service providers like DocuSign. We needed to stop these threats and to confidently recognize those emails coming from legitimate senders.”
