CHARLOTTE, NC (Nov. 25, 2024) – As seasoned phishers use AI to craft sophisticated phishing emails and text messages, businesses and individuals face unprecedented threats. Since the launch of ChatGPT two years ago, according to a report my SlashNext, malicious emails have increased by a staggering 4,151%.
Forfend, a leading cybersecurity software developer, in response to this growing threat has launched its AI-powered email and text messaging security solution, called Cube (https://forfend.co/solutions), that safeguards individuals and businesses from phishing and AI-generated fraud attempts.
AI Phishing: The 2022-2024 Surge
According to the FBI’s 2023 Internet Crime Report, phishing and business email compromise (BEC) attacks accounted for more than $2.7 billion in losses globally. These efforts have been enhanced by AI tools, which:
• Automate the creation of fraudulent emails
• Hyper target specific individuals with customized messages
Traditional email security methods rely heavily on manual flagging or preset filters, which can be circumvented by AI tools. Moreover, traditional Security Awareness Training (SAT) tools focus on past cyber threats and are not effective against AI threats.
“Cube, Forfend’s security solution, utilizes AI and machine learning algorithms to continuously learn and evolve, enabling it to identify emerging threats,” said Forefend CEO Yash Agarwal. “Forfend can detect hidden characters and subtle variations in language, tone and intent. Forfend’s system ensures no AI-generated threatening email gets through without being detected.”
How Forfend Works
Forfend processes vast amounts of data quickly and accurately. The system:
• Scans for malicious attachments and links
• Identifies unusual sender behavior and flags emails that don’t fit usual communication patterns
• Protects against AI-generated phishing emails by analyzing intent, context, and structure in real-time
Cube identifies and highlights suspicious words, phrases and links so the recipient can immediately recognize any threatening message they receive and promptly delete before succumbing to the phishing attempt.
For SMBs, this presents a significant challenge. They require the convenience of email without the accompanying threats, and their employees may not always be aware of safe email practices. Additionally, small organizations cannot afford the consequences of security lapses.
Email security simplified, for business and consumers
Too often, consumers and small businesses rely on the cyber security tools that are packaged with their email software. Those tools are slow to act and rarely work proactively to prevent issues. Cube, deployed system-wide or at the user level, is easy to install and use on virtually any email system. Cube offers an innovative solution that addresses these challenges head-on with six primary drivers.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Cube’s no-click link and content analysis mechanism enable real-time email monitoring for safety, allowing users to access their emails within seconds.
• AI-Powered Safety: Harnessing the power of advanced AI, Cube delivers an unmatched level of threat detection that ensures robust security.
• Zero False Alerts: Say goodbye to unnecessary alarms. Cube guarantees zero false alerts, streamlining your email workflow and reducing unnecessary stress.
• Guaranteed Phishing Protection: With Cube, phishing threats are a thing of the past. Enjoy peace of mind with guaranteed protection against phishing attacks.
• Hassle-Free Email Workflow: Cube simplifies email security, making it accessible and convenient for all consumers and businesses.
“Email security has become a critical need for small and medium-size businesses, and Cube is here to provide an effective, reliable solution,” says Agarwal. “Our goal is to empower businesses with the tools they need to stay safe in an increasingly digital world.”
