Nothing else in the organisation is asked to make as many judgement calls per day as a person working through their inbox. The two lines on this plate operate at the mailbox itself and on the habits of whoever is reading it, which between them are the only places a genuinely convincing message can still be caught.
Ironscales joins through a mailbox-level API. Nothing about that makes it a gateway, the word gets no use here, and switching it on leaves mail routing and MX records untouched. It examines what has arrived in the mailbox, and that distinction matters more than it first sounds: a message from a colleague whose account was taken over yesterday never crosses a perimeter at all, so anything standing outside the tenant simply never sees it.
On an estate of any size the detections that earn their keep are impersonation and hijacked accounts, both calibrated against the way your own staff write to one another. When somebody reports a message it gets withdrawn wherever it landed, not merely from the single account that spoke up, which is the difference between an afternoon and an incident.
The annual awareness video is a compliance artefact rather than a control. Everyone watches it in the same week, nobody can recall it by spring, and the only thing the reporting proves is that it played. Rehearsal running all year produces something more useful: a live picture of who genuinely struggles, refreshed week by week.
Follow up is then handed out on the strength of the result, so whoever needs five minutes gets five minutes and everyone else is left to work. Results gather by team, which lets a manager have a useful conversation without it becoming a conversation about named individuals.
Every rate below is fetched from billing the moment this page opens. Whatever gets marked waits in the schedule; reading on costs you nothing.
