Register 03 / Email protection

Nobody steals the wire. They ask for it politely, in a voice you already trust.

Fraud against a financial practice is overwhelmingly a writing exercise. A message asks for an amended instruction, a countersignature, or a file, phrased in a register the reader has already accepted. Ironscales attaches to Microsoft 365 or to Google Workspace over the tenant API, so it examines mail after delivery, inside the mailbox. This is not a gateway product, and pretending otherwise would be untrue.

Why the attachment method decides everything

A gateway examines mail on the way through and then stops holding an opinion. Anything arriving clean and turning hostile afterwards, anything sent between two colleagues who both sit inside the tenant, and anything a taken over account forwards onward, all sail past a gateway without a second look.

An API attachment keeps looking. It can reach into a mailbox that already accepted a message and withdraw it from every copy, the ones already forwarded internally included. For a practice where one taken over account can issue instructions in a trusted voice, that capability is the entire purchase.

A gateway examines mail on the way through and then stops holding an opinion.

Instruction that leaves a record behind

Awareness instruction sits in the rule and is usually bought as a video nobody finishes. What has value is the record: who was tested, how they behaved, and whether the same individual keeps behaving that way.

Simulations run against a calendar, outcomes are reported individually, and short lessons are assigned where the outcomes indicate rather than to the whole firm at once. That record also happens to be the thing you produce when somebody asks how instruction is delivered and how your firm knows it happened.

The failure this cannot close

A message asking for nothing unusual, sent from an account that genuinely belongs to the person named on it, carrying no link and no attachment, is not a technical problem at all. It is a procedural one, and the safeguard is a callback rule on payment instructions that your firm writes down and then insists upon.

It gets mentioned here because it is the failure that empties accounts in this industry, and no mailbox product on sale anywhere closes it.

Phishing Simulation and Training

The simulation and instruction programme purchased separately, for a practice already holding mailbox protection it intends to keep but still needing the awareness record its programme calls for.

The awareness programme from Ironscales, purchased alone
  • Simulations spread across the year instead of run once and then forgotten.
  • Short lessons assigned to whoever the outcomes say ought to receive them.
  • Reporting individually and by team, exportable for anybody who asks.
  • Material refreshed as the approaches aimed at financial practices change.

Honest scope

Exactly what this register does and does not reach

Two columns, both of them written to be relied on. The right hand column is the one worth reading twice, because a firm that misreads it will believe an obligation is covered when it is still open.

What is included

  • Licensing and tenant attachment for every mailbox or person you enrol.
  • Detection of impersonation, taken over accounts, and mail spreading internally.
  • A message already delivered retrieved from each mailbox that received it.
  • A reporting button for staff, with a genuine answer coming back afterwards.
  • Scheduled simulations and short lessons, assigned according to outcome.
  • Instruction records for each person, exportable for anybody who asks.

What is not included

  • Any claim your staff will stop being deceived. People are still people.
  • A gateway. Attachment is over the tenant API, and inspection happens post delivery.
  • Archiving or journalling for a retention duty. That is an entirely separate product.
  • Recovering money that has already gone. Once a wire lands, your bank is the route.
  • Payment verification procedure. A callback rule is written and enforced by your firm.
  • Mailboxes never attached to the tenant, and personal accounts of every description.
