What is IRONSCALES?
IRONSCALES is an AI-powered anti-phishing and email security platform that combines automated threat detection with crowdsourced human intelligence from security analysts across its customer base. Its platform uses computer vision, natural language processing, and behavioral analysis to detect phishing, BEC, and account takeover attacks. IRONSCALES differentiates with its decentralized threat intelligence model where analyst decisions on phishing reports from one organization automatically protect all customers, and its focus on making email security accessible to organizations without large security teams.
Best for: Mid-market organizations wanting automated phishing protection with integrated security awareness and phishing simulation
Pros
- Crowdsourced intelligence means one analyst's decision protects all customers
- Strong integration of detection with phishing simulation and training
- API deployment requires no MX record changes
- Accessible pricing for mid-market organizations
- Computer vision effectively catches brand impersonation attacks
Things to check
- Not a full email gateway. Supplements rather than replaces one
- Detection scope narrower than Proofpoint's comprehensive platform
- Crowdsourced model depends on quality of analyst decisions across customer base
- No email archiving, DLP, or compliance features
- Less effective against sophisticated targeted attacks than Proofpoint
