Armorblox, Inc. announced a strategic technology partnership with Intermedia to protect customers from advanced email attacks that target potentially vulnerable users. Armorblox technology powers AI Guardian, included with Intermedia Email Protection, to detect and alert users to sophisticated email attacks that weaponize the context of communications to steal money and data. With the world entering an age of hybrid work, people can accomplish great things from anywhere and are embedded in scores of digital workflows. Most of those workflows involve email and can potentially be hijacked by cybercriminals using impersonation and social engineering techniques to bypass traditional email security layers. In the 2020 Internet Crime Report, the FBI reported receiving 241,342 phishing-related complaints in 2020, a 110% increase over the previous year. The same report also cited $1.86 billion in reported losses due to Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Email Account Compromise (EAC) attacks. Powered by Armorblox, AI Guardian analyzes thousands of signals across identity, behavior, and language to help stop these advanced email attacks. By integrating these advanced capabilities into Intermedia Email Protection, Intermedia offers businesses of any size highly effective security with a new layer of enterprise-level AI-based security that is affordable, reliable, easy to use, and specifically designed to stop targeted attacks that are intended to evade traditional detection. AI Guardian also helps prevent sensitive data like PII and PCI from falling into the wrong hands over email.
