New Release: Adaptive Email Security (Beta)

Most organizations assume their email is protected. They have Microsoft or Google, or they've invested in a dedicated email security product. And for most of the attacks those tools were built to catch, that assumption holds. But AI-generated phishing has changed the math. Attacks are up 1,265% year over year, and nearly half now bypass existing defenses entirely. The inbox is the highest-volume attack surface in the business, and the tools that were built five years ago weren't designed for what it's become.

Today, we're launching Adaptive Email Security, available in Beta.

What's in Adaptive Email Security

Adaptive Email Security connects to your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 environment via a read-only API. No MX record changes, no mail routing reconfiguration, no maintenance window required. Setup takes minutes, and once live, it automatically detects, flags, and remediates threats across your inbox in real time, giving your team the visibility and controls to act on what's getting through.

As a part of the beta, we're introducing shadow mode: a free, lightweight way to get started without a full deployment. In shadow mode, detection runs across the full inbox, but nothing is blocked or quarantined yet. It's a read-only view of your actual threat exposure before enforcement kicks in. You see exactly what's reaching your employees today, without touching mail flow.

Why It Matters

Legacy email security was built around known-bad signatures, rule sets, and domain reputation. AI-generated phishing doesn't follow those patterns. It writes clean, contextually appropriate messages that look exactly like the ones your employees are used to receiving, and it scales infinitely. The filters that caught yesterday's attacks are increasingly ineffective against today's.

Adaptive Email Security was built from the ground up for this environment, not retrofitted onto a legacy rules engine with an AI layer bolted on. And unlike the established email security vendors, it doesn't require a dedicated team to run or a large contract to justify. It's priced to be accessible, not to replace your headcount budget.

It also lives inside the Adaptive platform. When Adaptive catches a threat, it already knows who was targeted, how that person has performed on phishing simulations, what their risk score looks like, and what training they've completed. The result is a detect-and-train motion in a single platform, not two tools with no shared context.

How It Fits Into Your Existing Workflow

Adaptive Email Security extends what you're already doing in the platform. The same admin view where you manage training, run phishing simulations, and track risk scores is where email threat data surfaces. There's nothing new to instrument and no separate console to monitor. Threats feed directly into the human risk picture you're already building.

Available Now
