Overview

The rising use of AI tools and automation to deliver fast moving cyber threats has rendered email security that relies on threat feeds, URL rewriting and block lists ineffective. In fact, SlashNext’s latest State of Phishing report revealed a 1,265% increase in phishing emails since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.

SlashNext Cloud Email Security offers businesses enterprise-level AI-powered cloud email security throughout their entire organization. The SlashNext platform stops zero-hour attacks such as BEC, credential theft, account takeover, scams, malware and exploits using its AI technology that uses BEC Generative AI, relationship graphs, contextual analysis, natural language processing, and computer vision with 99.9% accuracy and a one in one million false positive rate. The latest addition to its multi-layered AI approach, SlashNext AI is a revolutionary technology that anticipates vast numbers of potential AI-generated BEC threats by using AI data augmentation and cloning technologies. First, it identifies and assesses new threats, and then spawns thousands of other versions of that same core threat, which enables the system to train itself on possible variations. In this way, SlashNext AI is mimicking the exact manner in which threat actors are leveraging ChatGPT and similar tools to launch new attacks, but training itself to identify and block these threats before they can reach employees.

In addition, SlashNext LiveScanTM scans URLs and attachments in real-time to fully render content and apply multiple machine learning classifiers to detect and block zero-hour threats in real time.

In November 2023, SlashNext added new product capabilities to its messaging security platforms that protect customers from Quishing, QRLJacking and other scams distributed via malicious QR codes.

Key Capabilities / Features

SlashNext Cloud Email Security sees through more evasion tactics to detect previously unknown threats including malicious links, natural language-based threats, exploits and malware. Outdated threat intelligence is simply not useful for protecting against new zero-hour threats, so SlashNext provides up to the minute intelligence to properly defend organizations against new and emerging phishing attacks, regardless of attack vector.


Unlike other email security providers, SlashNext is the first to offer the most complete protection against the latest evolution of email threats, including generative AI threats.


SlashNext is the only solution to offer all these capabilities into one platform:


Relationship Graphs & Contextual Analysis: A baseline of known-good communication patterns and writing styles for each individual to detect unusual communications and conversation styles.


BEC Generative AI Augmentation: Auto generates thousands of new BEC variants from today’s threat to stop tomorrow’s attacks.


Natural Language Processing: Analyzes text in email body and attachments for topic, tone emotion, intent and manipulation triggers associated with social engineering tactics.


Computer Vision Recognition: Leverages SlashNext’s LiveScanTM to inspect URLs in real-time for any visual deviations such as image and layouts to detect credential phishing webpage.


File Attachment Inspection: Analyze social engineering traits of attachments and malicious codes to stop ransomware.


Sender Impersonation Analysis: Evaluates headline details and email authentication results to stop impersonation attacks.


In addition, unlike other security solutions that aim to address Quishing (QR code phishing) and QRLJacking (QR code login jacking), SlashNext’s solution leverages both computer vision and a new QR code natural language processing (NLP) classifier and protects users from more than just credential Quishing. It’s ability to detect malicious intent in both the QR code itself as well as the accompanying message makes it the most comprehensive and accurate QR Code protection.


How we are different

Unlike any other offering on the market, the global, AI-based cloud detection uses a broad intelligence gathering network that enables SlashNext to detect phishing threats up to 48 hours before they show up on VirusTotal and other threat databases resulting in tens of thousands of new threats added daily, with thousands not available elsewhere. SlashNext’s elegant cloud management console enables simple deployment, management, and advanced reporting across threats, users, and devices. Using the Microsoft Graph API, SlashNext Cloud Email Security takes less than 5 minutes to set-up and configure. In a recent Tolly Report, SlashNext outperformed its competitors by a landslide, scoring a 99% total detection rate in a BEC and Advanced Phishing Competitive Test -- Abnormal Security scored 76%, Mimecast scored 61%, and Microsoft Defender for O365 scored 23%.


SlashNext’s AI technology is the industry's first artificial intelligence solution that uses generative AI to defend against advanced BEC, supply chain attacks, executive impersonation, and financial fraud. The revolutionary technology anticipates vast numbers of potential AI-generated BEC threats by using AI data augmentation and cloning technologies to assess a core threat and then spawn thousands of other versions of that same core threat, which enables the system to train itself on possible variations. Extending SlashNext’s existing AI Zero-Hour Protection, these technologies work together to stop 65% more Zero-Hour threats including BEC, links and files, and remediate threats with a 99% detection rate.


SlashNext is the industry’s first multi-channel quishing protection to block malicious QR Codes in email, mobile, web and personal messaging channels with 99% accuracy.
