Has effectively combined AI detection with human expertise to improve phishing response
What is our primary use case?
The main use cases for IRONSCALES demonstrate its artificial intelligence capabilities because it utilizes AI to detect phishing and has specialized engines for detecting both phishing and spam, making it very efficient at these tasks.
How has it helped my organization?
The automated incident response helps my security team by automating many tasks that only require console review to check incidents. If they notice something suspicious or potential AI false positives, these cases are minimal.
For example, if people in the organization receive 50 suspicious emails in a day that are detected by IRONSCALES, maybe one or two might be false positives. The interesting aspect is that with the intervention of the security analyst's human knowledge, they can contribute to this intelligence. It creates a merger of AI intelligence and human intelligence where the model is continuously learning.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate most about IRONSCALES is that it detects not only actual phishing attempts but also potential preliminary phases of phishing. Some attackers plan their strategy by sending non-offensive emails designed to capture users' attention. IRONSCALES excels at analyzing the intention, not just the content itself, but the sender's attempt to gain user attention. When attackers employ social engineering and prepare their real attack, IRONSCALES effectively detects these intentions. This is a particularly valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
There are areas that could be improved with this product. Regarding the Spanish language awareness training, while they are producing good content, it appears to be initially produced in English and then translated to Spanish. Though this isn't problematic for our users, the content could be updated more frequently.

I have ongoing experience using IRONSCALES.
How are customer service and support?

What do you like best about the product?
I think what we like most about Ironscales is the ease of setup. After a 10-minute phone call, it was already finding things in our users' mailboxes. Ironscales is so easy to use, just three buttons: Spam, Phishing, or Safe. It doesn't get any easier than that. Add in SPF hosting, DMARC, and user training, and you have a complete email security arsenal. Their customer support and integration team has been great to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our only minor gripe (that has a huge impact on our environment is the lack of comprehensive user access roles. e.g. if you want an analyst to remediate the issue and create phishing/training, you would have to give the user the admin role since someone with the Phishing/Training Role can't remediate and vice versa.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We purchased Ironscales to get away from an antiquated email security platform that was rule based and required hrs dailing to mantian and remediate email

Sometimes the clustering of incidents wraps legitimate email into one, however that is more a reflection of the types of attacks and mostly impacts encrypted email platforms and services like Paypal, DocuSign, and Adobe Sign. While sometimes a hassle it is good to get the visibility.
