Antigena Email:
The Self-Defending Inbox
Antigena Email is the world’s first Cyber
AI solution for the inbox. By learning the
normal ‘pattern of life’ for every user and
correspondent, the technology builds an
evolving understanding of the ‘human’
within email communications.
While traditional defenses ask whether
elements of an email have been observed
in historical attacks, Antigena Email is the
only solution that can reliably ask whether it
would be unusual for a recipient to interact
with a given email, in the context of their
normal ‘pattern of life’, as well as that of
their peers and the wider organization.
This contextual knowledge enables the
AI to make highly accurate decisions and
neutralize the full range of email attacks,
from ‘clean’ spoofing emails that seek to
wire a fraudulent payment, to sophisticated
spear phishing attempts.
Inspired by the human immune system,
Antigena Email uses Darktrace’s core
artificial intelligence to learn a sense of
‘self’ for every internal and external user,
analyzing both inbound and outbound
communications together with lateral,
internal-to-internal communications. By
treating recipients as dynamic individuals
and peers, Antigena Email uniquely spots
subtle deviations from ‘the norm’ that
reveal seemingly benign emails to be
unmistakably malicious.
In the case studies that follow, Darktrace’s
evolving sense of the ‘self’ of email users
and their peers has enabled it to detect
and stop the email threat that – in every
case – traditional security tools let through.
These email attacks fall into one of four
highly sophisticated attack categories
that routinely bypass your organization’s
‘protective skin’:
• Spear phishing & payload delivery
• Supply chain account takeover
• Social engineering & solicitation
• Compromised employee credentials
• Spear Phishing & Payload Delivery
Most phishing campaigns attempt to
deceive users into clicking malicious links or
attachments in an email, with the ultimate
goal of harvesting credentials or deploying
destructive malware in an organization.
These attacks can be launched either as
