AI Email Security Trainer
AI-powered phishing simulation that adapts to each employee. Personalised micro-training for high-risk staff.
🛡️ CYBER ESSENTIALS 2026 UPDATE — EFFECTIVE 28 APRIL 2026
The Cyber Essentials scheme is updated from 28 April 2026 with stricter criteria: mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cloud services and admin accounts, tighter password policies, expanded scope for home workers and BYOD devices, and new vulnerability management timelines. All UK government suppliers must meet the updated standard. This product is aligned with the CE 2026 requirements.
📧 AI-POWERED EMAIL ATTACKS: 1,265% INCREASE — HUMANS ARE THE LAST LINE
SlashNext 2025: AI-generated phishing emails have increased 1,265% . They are grammatically perfect, contextually relevant, and pass traditional email filters. Your email gateway catches known threats. AI email security training teaches employees to catch the ones that get through — the zero-day, targeted, personalised attacks that no filter can stop.
AI Email Security Trainer — Continuous, Adaptive, Realistic

NIS2 Article 23 Email-Borne Incident Reporting Module

- Email incident classification — when a suspicious email becomes a reportable cyber incident under NIS2 Article 23
- 24-hour early warning trigger — what email-borne indicators (mailbox compromise, BEC payment redirect, ransomware lure click) trigger the 24-hour early warning notification
- 72-hour formal notification — evidence requirements for the formal report (email headers, authentication results, attack timeline)
- Mailbox compromise containment + reporting workflow — runbook covering both technical containment and Article 23 notification preparation
- BEC payment-fraud incident reporting — when a BEC incident with financial impact triggers NIS2 reporting in addition to fraud reporting
