Remote working is on the rise, and attackers are now trying to exploit e-mail communication more than ever. E-mail phishing attacks increased 667 percent after the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. As the users will become more mobile, it should be expected that the numbers will continue to grow. Parallel to this increase, it is also becoming challenging to block these malicious e-mails as they are becoming more targeted and specific to the end-user. Research shows that phishing has become the most dynamic and adaptive threat type organisations face.

DefCyte provides a complete view of threats arising from phishing attacks. The users can report e-mails that they suspect is suspicious. Machine learning-based classification algorithm provides an extensive real-time view into threats. Recently initiated sites and domains are easily blocked before being identified as malicious by the traditional secure e-mail gateway solutions. The platform provides unmatched visibility for malicious e-mails reaching the end-users. Once an e-mail is identified as malicious, the system can delete the e-mail from all user mailboxes.

Phishing simulation and user awareness training are also provided as built-in modules to enable organisations to prepare better for phishing attacks.

DefCyte is based on the CloudCyte platform. CloudCyte is a multi-tenant, containerised SaaS platform for protecting users, networks and applications from cyber threats. The system allows end-users and MSSP’s to deploy the solution in minutes. On-premise deployment on VMWARE/Hyper-V and Cloud- based deployment on Kubernetes is supported.
