IRONSCALES Primary Use Case

ND
IT Manager at LAVI Light Rail Operation & Maintenance

We needed it for mail relay and phishing awareness training.

We use the IRONSCALE solution on all our email platforms, including mobile apps, web access, and Outlook on computers.

Our deployment model is hybrid. Our private environment is in Microsoft 365 and we also have SaaS through BDO.

Since we are using Microsoft 365 and everybody is basically connected to that infrastructure for their emails, all we had to do was implement IRONSCALES into 365 and that covered my whole organization. There are about 175 email boxes. We expect that to at least double that amount in the next couple of years

We mainly use the solution for email security and threat mitigation through that vector, which could be phishing, malware, and malicious attacks. It allows us to inspect emails and enables end-users to report and quarantine potential threats in a sandbox, which is very valuable. The response time is imperative for us, a notification gets to me as the tech very quickly, and I can mitigate any issues we may have.

We have IRONSCALES deployed over two companies. The leading company owns the account, and we have two companies under that: Mason Law and Planning Company and Warrior Insurance. They're in the same building on different floors, but both companies are situated with IRONSCALES at all endpoints for all users. We don't have any off site users, with the occasional exception. The vast majority of our staff work on-site. We don't have anyone working from outside the office.

It is a glorified email spam filter. IRONSCALES catches whatever the built-in Microsoft spam filter doesn't catch. Its intelligence is different. Microsoft spam filters are only strong to a certain extent, and IRONSCALES catches what falls through the cracks, which is super important. It checks the links and other things, and our mailboxes are much cleaner.

We are using it for email security. Microsoft's built-in spam and phishing filter was completely inadequate. We were looking at tackling spear phishing and phishing in general for the organization, as well as educating our staff through targeted phishing campaigns and training.

Our email provider Microsoft doesn't supply anti-phishing functionality as part of our licensing with them. They provide antivirus and anti-spam. We don't pay for their advanced protection features.

In terms of deployment, it is a SaaS platform. It connects to the Office 365 API.

We purchased the software so that we could have better software to protect our users against phishing attempts.

Director, Information Security at a pharma/biotech company with 501-1,000 employees

I've used IRONSCALES in multiple scenarios. I first used the solution in the Asia-Pacific region to review suspicious phishing emails in the mailbox instead of reviewing them manually. The primary goal was to have an automated solution for suspicious or weird emails. It automatically reviews them and maybe provides some kind of response. That was our first goal with the product. It reviews the emails, attachments, and links at the same time.

There is an automated piece where people can send an email or forward the email to a review team. It adds an additional mailbox layer on top of our spam quarantine. IRONSCALES captures everything our existing spam quarantine couldn't capture. It also helps us with additional phishing campaigns.

At the time, we had an email gateway system, but we didn't have something that could remove malicious and unwanted emails from company mailboxes on the fly. That was one of the main draws for using IRONSCALES. It is very simple and easy to remediate malicious emails. 

We also didn't have a user awareness training platform. We needed something that we could use to test phishing emails to train the staff in our company and increase cybersecurity awareness. These are the main tools of the platform that we use that we didn't have before.

The main challenge that we wanted to solve with this solution was the email-based attacks. They are a major threat for our staff and customers. So, we are using this solution for protection from threats and remediation of phishing emails. We also use it for simulation to train our staff to recognize a phishing email. For those users who click on the phishing email, we provide the training content to improve their awareness.

Phishing emails and spam are challenges companies of all sizes face. IRONSCALES acts as a second layer on top of the Microsoft mail relay we use. It scans every email coming into our organization and automatically checks the validity. We also check manually in some cases.  

While we mainly use it for the mail relay, IRONSCALES can also act as a phishing campaign simulator. We can send simulated phishing emails to our colleagues to test their readiness. 

Our entire organization uses IRONSCALES across many locations worldwide in South America, Asia, Europe, and North America. All sites use the system to protect the mailboxes and just act as a mail relay. We have about 8,000 users.
