The CISO’s Email Security Checklist: A Practical Audit for Inbox Defenses in the Age of AI-Powered Attacks

Attackers are using AI to write personalized phishing emails at scale, pulling public information on your employees and sending thousands of targeted messages within minutes. This checklist helps CISOs and security leaders by taking stock of where their email security program stands across five interconnected layers, each with specific steps your team should act on immediately.

What’s inside:

1AI-Native Inbox Security: Is your detection engine built for AI-generated attacks, not just legacy signatures?
2Employee Reporting & Phish Triage: Can your team report, scan, and pull threats from inboxes within your SLA?
3Simulation & Awareness Training: Are your simulations personalized, multi-channel, and covering AI-specific threats?
4Incident Response & Remediation: Do you have a practiced playbook that compresses response time?
5Leadership Visibility & Reporting: Can you show the board clear outcome data tied to business risk?
