Real-World Use Cases
CEO Fraud & Wire Transfer Scams
Scenario
SMB finance teams receive wire requests from executives daily. Attackers spoof the CEO or managing director to request urgent transfers. Without a SOC or email security analyst, these emails reach finance unchecked.

Potential Outcomes
Finance team protected from social engineering without manual processes
Admin alerted in real time with full threat explanation
Ransomware Delivered Through Business Email

MBs receive invoices, contracts, and documents from vendors, clients, and partners daily. Attackers embed ransomware in these routine attachments. One click and the entire network is encrypted.
Example Implementation
Helios Attachment Sandboxing detonates all suspicious attachments before delivery
Content Intelligence detects ransomware delivery patterns including macro-laced Office documents and HTML smuggling
URL Rewriting sandboxes links at click time to block delayed-detonation payloads Solution: Helios blocks ransomware at the inbox before it reaches endpoints
Potential Outcomes
