1. Enhancement in the Company’s Email Security Solutions
2. How is Enhancements in the Solution Benefiting the Customers?
Armorblox, anemerging email security solutions provider, recently announced the inclusion of Custom Role-Based Access Controls to its innovative cloud-delivered email security platform for enhancing the maintenance of data compliance and reducing data blindspots for individuals across the organization.
Not every email is the same. When it comes to incoming threats, attackers tend to focus on emails that involve sensitive credentials or valuable data. According to the Armorblox Email Security Threat Report, in 2022, 87% of credential phishing attacks looked like common corporate workflows to trick victims, and 70% of spoofing attacks got past native email security layers.
Thus, Armorblox has made improvements to Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention and added Custom Role-Based Access Controls to make it safer from insider threats (RBAC).
1. Enhancement in the Company’s Email Security Solutions
"According to a recent Market Research Future study, the demand for email security is anticipated to exceed US$ 11 billion by 2030."
Armorblox has always been committed to putting security first, and this dedication goes beyond offering a best-in-class email security solution. Armorblox Advanced Data Loss Prevention's enhanced capabilities ensure that customers' most sensitive information is reliably protected across all content types and storage mediums. Coupled with its Armorblox Custom DLP Policies, companies are now able to set automated encryption actions and exceptions for sensitive data and confidential content per department or per user.
Armorblox Custom Role-Based Access Controls provide fine-grained controls to security teams, which are necessary to set restriction levels and access for individuals, teams, and groups across the organization.
2. How is Enhancements in the Solution Benefiting the Customers?
Through the enhancements to the Advanced DLP solution and the addition of Custom Role-Based Access Controls to the Armorblox platform, Armorblox is supporting the security-first approach that companies require. Customers will benefit in a variety of ways, including:
Custom Access Controls: Create and assign custom roles with granular permissions to groups or individuals across security teams based on their job responsibilities.
Sensitive Data Encryption: Prevent unauthorized disclosure of PII, PCI, and PHI by identifying and encrypting sensitive data across emails, attachments, and documents automatically.
Reduce Data Blindspots: Ensure the implementation of appropriate restrictions and access levels for employee, organization, and third-party data.

SlashNext | March 01, 2023
On February 28, 2023, SlashNext, a leading SaaS-based Integrated Cloud Messaging Security solutions provider across web, email and mobile, announced the release of Generative HumanAI™, the industry's first artificial intelligence solution using generative AI to defend against advanced business email compromise (BEC), executive impersonation, supply chain attacks, and financial fraud. Adding Generative HumanAI ensures that customers have peace of mind, despite threat actors utilizing widely available AI tools to aid their efforts. The solution already has a 99.9% detection rate with its existing AI capabilities.
Generative HumanAI predicts vast numbers of potential AI-generated BEC threats by utilizing AI data augmentation and cloning technologies to evaluate a core threat and then produce thousands of other versions of that same core threat, which allows the system to train itself on possible variations.
This new solution joins SlashNext's existing HumanAI capabilities, which imitate human threat researchers by combining computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning with relationship graphs and deep contextualization to thwart sophisticated multichannel messaging attacks.
Features of HumanAI consist:
Relationship Graphs & Contextual Analysis establish a baseline of known-good writing styles and communication patterns for each employee and supplier to detect unusual conversation and communication styles.
BEC Generative AI Augmentation automatically generates thousands of new BEC variants from today's threat to stop tomorrow's attacks.
Natural Language Processing analyzes text in the email body and attachments for tone, emotion, topic, intent and manipulation triggers related to social engineering tactics.
Computer Vision Recognition leverages SlashNext's LiveScan™ to inspect URLs in real-time for any visual divergence, such as layouts and images, to detect credential phishing webpages.
Sender Impersonation Analysis evaluates headline details and email authentication results to stop impersonation attacks.
File Attachment Inspection analyzes social engineering traits of attachments and malicious codes to stop ransomware.
SlashNext has been developing this patent-pending solution internally for over two years and is at the forefront of multichannel messaging security. Its threat researchers recognized that generative AI would soon change the face of BEC attacks.

Apiiro | January 04, 2023
Apiiro, the market leader in Cloud-Native Application Security, announced that its award-winning security platform is now accessible on AWS Marketplace.
Apiiro's solution intends to assist developers and security engineers in resolving significant risks across the software supply chain before launching apps to the cloud. Instead of a single vulnerability or misconfiguration, multiple isolated and unconnected findings are scattered throughout the source code, configurations, open-source packages, and cloud infrastructure that, when combined with appropriate context, form a Risk Story that attackers can exploit.
Its Risk Graph technology integrates these endless elements with actionable information to provide developers and security teams with an entirely new way to fix problems.
Apiiro has introduced a whole new approach to application security by offering complete visibility into code bases, analyzing risks from design to code to the cloud, and proactively addressing actual vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit before they even get released to the cloud.
By connecting to their source control managers via API, Fortune 500 businesses can cut operational costs and risks at scale while ensuring seamless deployment.
Now that it is accessible in the AWS marketplace, customers may deploy Apiiro's Cloud Application Security Platform through their AWS Marketplace accounts, enabling them to quickly secure everything they develop and deliver to the cloud by proactively resolving risks with actionable context.
