How It Works – Layered Protection

🔹 Static Analysis

Reputation checks, antivirus scanning, and advanced anti-spoofing controls (DMARC, DKIM, SPF) identify and block known threats before they reach users.

🔹 AI & Vision

Advanced AI models and image analysis detect phishing, business email compromise (BEC), quishing, and sophisticated impersonation attempts that bypass traditional filters.

🔹 Dynamic Sandbox (HAP)

Simulates real user behaviour to safely detonate files and links, uncovering hidden and zero-day threats before delivery.

🔹 Meta Aggregation

XDR-style correlation across multiple environments provides deep visibility, forensic intelligence, and faster mitigation of emerging threats.
