Why choose Red Helix Email Security?
Proactive Human Risk Management (HRM)
This feature assesses human risk based on contextual knowledge and stops advanced phishing threats beyond capabilities of traditional email security tools via behavioural AI and zero-trust principles. This is a comprehensive, AI-driven email security product which protects against a full spectrum of phishing attacks.
How does Human Risk Management (HRM) work?
Red Helix proactive HRM alerts users to threats by using colour-coded alerts and simple advice. This enables users to understand and look out for what a malicious email will appear like. This embeds users into the organisation’s security posture, and enhances security training across the organisation, going beyond traditional methods of simple detection and quarantine.
Benefits of Human Risk Management (HRM)
- Centralises tools, negating the issue of siloed security which leave visibility gaps
- Reduces admin overhead
- Reduces the complexity of a dual protection combination (SEG and M365)
- Enhances detection and identifies advanced phishing attacks, therefore filling gaps which SEGs are not designed
- Engages users to create a stronger security culture
- Educates employees on phishing risks to increase risk recognition and reduce vulnerability.
- Provides context for analysts to deal with the higher threat alerts, rather than having to deal with a high quantity threat alert that are unnecessary
Human Risk Management Capabilities
At least 68% of incidents involve a human element.
