Fortra continues its mission to help organizations stay ahead of cybercriminals with the latest release of powerful new features for its Cloud Email Protection (CEP) service, part of its Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) solution. The update brings advanced AI capabilities, enhanced threat detection, and deeper intelligence integrations, designed to stop today’s most evasive email attacks in their tracks.
Disrupting Email Threats with Continuous Innovation
In May alone, the CEP improvements led to the disruption of over 87,000 additional email threats, showcasing the real-world impact of Fortra’s continuous innovation.
Smarter AI for Smarter Threats
The evolving nature of social engineering attacks demands smarter, faster, and more adaptable defenses. Fortra’s latest CEP update introduces four major AI-powered capabilities designed to better detect subtle, targeted attacks that often slip past traditional security tools:
AI Body Content Analysis
Using a large language model (LLM) fine-tuned for email content, CEP can now interpret and classify the intent behind messages at scale, identifying suspicious language patterns and phrasing in the message body.
AI Campaign Detection
Low-content scams like invoice or payment fraud often appear benign in isolation. This feature detects them by identifying shared characteristics across multiple email messages targeting various recipients.
AI Suspicious URL Detection
By examining the structural elements of links — including redirects — CEP can better flag URLs that lead to malicious destinations, even when cloaked behind shortened or embedded links.
AI Overall Risk Scoring
Pulling together results from all AI models, this scoring mechanism assesses aggregated threat signals to catch advanced, targeted attacks that might evade individual filters.
Better Collaboration, Faster Response
The update also strengthens the integration between CEP and Fortra Suspicious Email Analysis (SEA). CEP now automates mitigation based not only on known threat indicators but also on message characteristics like subject and sender combinations—critical for identifying and neutralizing response-based phishing campaigns that don’t always include obvious red flags.
Security teams will also benefit from a more intuitive CEP interface. Improvements to search, investigation, and policy workflows mean faster access to threat data and more efficient incident response.
As email remains the number one vector for cyberattacks, Fortra’s continued investment in adaptive, intelligent protection is a security imperative. By layering AI-driven analysis, global threat intelligence, and automation, the latest CEP release not only reacts to threats but also anticipates them.
Now organizations looking to bolster their defenses against evolving phishing schemes, business email compromise (BEC), and other advanced threats have an even more powerful tool in their corner.
