Why AI May Soon Make the 'Email Security' Category Obsolete
IRONSCALES founder & CEO Eyal Benishti is a pioneering security software engineer & executive leader with 15+ years of industry experience. As the primary (and sometimes sole) channel for corporate communications, email has been the natural area of focus for cybersecurity vendors looking to develop effective defensive solutions against outside threats. This has led to enterprise email security becoming the primary strategy for companies defending against communications-driven attacks. However, the nature of corporate communications is changing. Today, a lot more communications are happening outside of email—moving to places like Slack, Zoom, Teams and LinkedIn. As a result, the idea of 'enterprise email security' is no longer sufficient, as it fails to address the full scope and scale of what must be secured. This is why it's time for the security community to leave 'email security' behind and adopt a new term altogether: 'enterprise communications security.' Modern threat actors adopt multichannel approaches. Equipped with AI and other cutting-edge technology, threat actors are moving beyond the inbox to execute more multimodal and cross-channel attacks, where a threat originates on one platform before unfolding across others. Imagine a threat actor initiating a spear phishing attack by sending a connection request via LinkedIn. There, they use a fake or compromised profile to build rapport with a target, cultivating trust and an air of legitimacy. From there, the communications might transition to Slack or email, with a personalized social engineering attack or malicious link. According to recent industry research from Egress, the volume of multichannel phishing attacks is skyrocketing: • In the first quarter of 2024, Microsoft Teams was used in 30.8% of secondary attack steps. Slack was in 19.2% of secondary attack steps, and SMS in 18.6%. • Meanwhile, from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024, Zoom and mobile phone calls both increased as second steps in multichannel attacks by roughly a third (33.3% and 31.3%, respectively). These trends illustrate attackers' growing interest in exploiting less secure communication channels—and, in turn, highlight the need for security teams to do more to defend them. AI enables attacks of unprecedented speed, scale and sophistication. Recognizing and responding to this expanding attack surface isn't enough. Modern technologies are also making it harder for organizations to keep up. While multichannel attacks were possible in the past, modern AI makes it possible to launch them at scale. Using AI, attackers can generate highly convincing, personalized phishing messages with the click of a button. Unlike social engineering attacks of the past, these AI-enabled attacks are polished, convincing and free of the kinds of linguistic oddities of traditional phishing messages. And yet, as impactful as generative AI has been in tipping the scales in threat actors' favor, its impact will pale in comparison to what's coming down the pike—agentic AI. Agentic AI, deepfakes and expanding attack surfaces have introduced Phishing 3.0. Unlike generative AI models, which rely on human prompting to generate content, analysis or other discrete outputs, AI agents are designed to perform tasks in service of a specific goal—with little to no human involvement or oversight. Already, enterprises are using AI agents to automate a wide range of day-to-day processes. A recent study from PwC found that 79% of enterprises are already using AI agents of some sort to boost productivity. But enterprises aren't the only ones investing in this powerful new technology. As the number, diversity and sophistication of these AI agents continue to grow, the implications for the threat landscape are staggering. If generative AI represented a step-change in the scale and speed at which threat actors can launch attacks, then AI agents are nothing short of a quantum leap. Simultaneously, we're seeing other advanced technologies, such as deepfakes, being used to deceive and defraud victims to great effect. Look no further than the recent hack of the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, in which hackers gained access to her cellular contact list and then communicated with lawmakers, potentially using deepfake software. Collectively, this emerging class of threats amounts to a true paradigm shift in the phishing landscape—a change that I've taken to referring to as Phishing 3.0. Legacy solutions are lacking in the age of Phishing 3.0. Phishing 3.0 isn't just more complex—it's more autonomous. Thanks to the rise of agentic AI, threat actors can now automate entire phishing workflows, from reconnaissance and message generation to platform-hopping and response manipulation. These campaigns are capable of mimicking tone, remembering context and persisting across channels in a way that traditional defenses—especially those designed for email only—are fundamentally unequipped to handle. Most enterprises are still relying on fragmented and ineffectual security architectures. Secure email gateways (SEGs), spam filters and other legacy tools still reign supreme in most organizations, and they're growing less and less effective by the day. Even the most advanced solutions of this type fall short by the simple fact that modern threats extend far beyond the borders of the email inbox. Text messages, direct messages on Slack, impromptu Zoom calls and connection requests via LinkedIn—all are now part of the enterprise communications ecosystem. To make matters worse, SEGs and the like are also becoming increasingly ineffective at defending that front door. A recent research report from my company, IRONSCALES, found that traditional secure email gateways (SEGs) fail to stop an average of 67.5 phishing attacks per 100 mailboxes every month. Orgs must adopt the tools and tactics of their adversaries. In the face of such profound changes in the threat landscape, security teams must make profound changes of their own. Organizations must move past this outdated notion of 'email security' and instead embrace a broader, more holistic view of 'enterprise communications security.' In addition to investing more time and energy on updated security awareness training (SAT) initiatives, this changing perspective means organizations will have to fight fire with fire by investing in intelligent and autonomous solutions of their own. When doing so, organizations should seek to unify visibility across communication platforms and automate as much of their most mission-critical defensive processes as possible. Ultimately, the backbone of Phishing 3.0-ready security will be AI capable of understanding the context and intent behind communications, and orchestrating rapid, automated responses to suspicious activity—no matter where it occurs.

IRONSCALES launches Deepfake Protection to fight phishing surge
IRONSCALES has announced the launch of Deepfake Protection, a new technology for identifying and countering deepfake threats in enterprise email security. The company stated that this solution can recognise and neutralise deepfake-driven threats in real time, including the analysis of video and audio content using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. The system is designed to flag potentially manipulated deepfake content before the intended recipients are exposed, providing an additional layer of defence for organisations against this rising category of cyberattack. Deepfake-related social engineering attacks have grown substantially, with reported figures showing a 1,000% global increase from 2022 to 2023, and a 1,740% surge in North America. IRONSCALES referenced a recent study which indicated that traditional Secure Email Gateways are, on average, unable to prevent 67.5 phishing attacks per 100 mailboxes each month. Concerns regarding these threats remain high among IT professionals. According to a survey cited by IRONSCALES, over 94% of IT experts are worried about the risks deepfakes pose, and 43% expect deepfake defence to become their primary security priority in the coming 12 to 18 months. Eyal Benishti, Chief Executive Officer at IRONSCALES, commented: "The cybersecurity landscape is currently in the midst of a major sea change. Deepfakes, agentic AI, and other emergent technologies are fundamentally reshaping the threat landscape, ushering in a whole new stage in the evolution of phishing. This next generation of threats, which I like to call Phishing 3.0, is defined by highly-targeted, highly-sophisticated phishing threats that use these technologies to supercharge their social engineering strategies and launch attacks of unprecedented speed and scale." "As we enter this new era, organisations are in dire need of tools and technologies that can protect and empower their workforce against these advanced threats. Our deepfake protection capabilities aim to do just that - giving organisations a powerful, proactive means of reliably detecting and preventing deepfake-driven attacks before they cause harm." IRONSCALES highlighted that deepfake techniques, including doctored imagery, audio, and video, have been used by cybercriminals to deceive employees into wiring money, sharing confidential data, or providing unauthorised access to company systems. The new Deepfake Protection technology works by leveraging artificial intelligence to detect video and audio anomalies and flag possible threats early in the communication chain. Itzik Menashe from Telit, an IRONSCALES customer, addressed the impact of this new approach: "The ability to detect deepfake videos in real time is a game-changer. Plus, the capabilities are integrated seamlessly with the IRONSCALES platform, making it incredibly easy to roll out and scale across our organisation. As cybercriminals continue to refine their tactics, IRONSCALES gives us the confidence to identify fraudulent attempts before they cause damage. This is a critical step in ensuring that our employees and partners can trust the messages they receive." IRONSCALES' announcement comes as organisations seek more robust technological solutions to address the threat of increasingly sophisticated phishing and social engineering attacks. The company has stated that the technology is intended to fill existing gaps left by legacy email protection tools. The new Deepfake Protection technology will be demonstrated live by IRONSCALES experts as part of the upcoming industry showcase, providing security professionals an opportunity to observe the system in a simulated environment.
