Generative AI Enhanced Phishing Protection Case Study

This case study presents the challenges faced by C&S Companies regarding email phishing attacks, specifically BEC, spear-phishing, and malicious attachments that were bypassing their Mimecast Secure Email Gateway. C&S Companies identified that their existing security measures were inadequate, particularly as phishing threats escalated and targeted C-Level employees. The solution implemented was SlashNext's generative AI-powered protection, which supplements the Mimecast SEG by providing real-time detection and prevention of various phishing threats across multiple communication channels, including email, mobile, and web messaging apps. The results demonstrated a significant improvement, with a 55% increase in the detection of multi-stage BEC attacks, revealing thousands of malicious links and saving the organization millions in potential losses. The deployment of this solution not only enhanced security but also improved operational efficiency for the security team, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.
