AI = secure email?

Email-based attacks are on the rise – specifically an increase in phishing attacks, business email compromise, and email-delivered ransomware.

In fact some research shows up to 69% of ransomware attacks begin with an email.

So how can the much-hyped AI help as spear-phishing attacks become increasingly convincing and all email attacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication?

Correctly deployed AI technologies can:

• Work in tandem with ML and deep learning models processing large volumes of data.
• NLP analysing language-based threats.
• And anomaly detection identifying deviations from baselines.
