security team used automation to identify
the campaign quickly, then moved swiftly
to block the phishing domain, before any
users entered data. All of this happened
in minutes. Before, it would have taken
days, according to the SOC analyst who
managed the response.
But just imagine . . .
Imagine if the healthcare company
was still manually analysing emails.

A well-crafted phish is an investment
that pays big dividends. But so is an
automated platform, fed by trained users
and managed by experienced incident
responders. And consider if the security
team at the financial services company
still slogged through hundreds or
thousands of emails by hand. Or relied
on Outlook, whose many strengths do not
include incident response. This company
too would likely have wasted hours or
days examining the wrong messages.
All the while employees, at least some of
them, would have handed criminals the
keys to their personal kingdoms.
No one has time to waste while phishing
emails are on the loose. So automate to
save time and let humans save the day.
It’s the best way to stop active threats
before they make trouble, including the
kind of headlines no company wants
to see. u
