MDR Coverage
Phishing

24/7 operational coverage for email threats

Phishing is the most consistent entry point for attackers — and the most consistently under-resourced area of security operations. Every user-reported email and security alert needs investigation. Daylight handles that operational workload around the clock, as part of MDR.

The Challenge

A high-volume operational problem that security teams can't absorb

Phishing investigations are not strategically difficult. They are operationally relentless. The triage logic is repetitive, but the volume is constant — and most security teams either outsource it, ignore it, or let the queue grow.

1

Email threats wait until morning

Endpoints and cloud get 24/7 coverage. Phishing investigations join a queue at 5pm on Friday and sit there until Monday. The gap is structural — not a process failure, but an operational one most MDR providers deliberately exclude from scope.

2

User reports go dark

Employees report suspicious emails and hear nothing back. No verdict, no feedback, no acknowledgment. The behavior you want to reinforce — reporting — gets extinguished because the organization never responds. Over time, the signal dries up.

3

Sophisticated attacks need context to catch

Business email compromise doesn't look malicious on technical indicators alone. It looks like a normal email from a vendor, a colleague, or a senior executive. Without identity context, communication patterns, and org structure, these slip through automated detection.

What Daylight Covers

Every phishing source, fully investigated

All phishing signals – automated alerts from email security platforms and direct employee reports – enter the same investigation pipeline. The logic is consistent, the coverage runs 24/7, and every verdict comes with a complete evidence chain.

User-Reported Phishing

Every suspicious email reported by an employee gets a full investigation — not a ticket, a verdict. And where appropriate, the reporter hears back with the outcome, reinforcing the behavior you want.

Forwarded suspicious emails

Closed-loop feedback to reporters

Email Security Alert Investigation

Alerts from your email security platform don't need acknowledgment — they need investigation. Daylight reviews every alert through the full pipeline, using business context that automated tools can't apply.

Abnormal AI & Sublime

All alert types, not just high-severity

BEC & Spearphishing Detection

Business email compromise attempts impersonate known contacts and legitimate business patterns. Daylight applies identity, role, and communication baseline context to catch attacks that look normal on the surface.

Vendor or executive impersonation

Payment redirect and wire fraud patterns

Identity & org structure cross-referenced

URL & Attachment Analysis

Every investigation includes enrichment of URLs, domains, and attachments — checking reputation, hosting details, sandbox behavior, and whether the destination is consistent with legitimate business relationships.

Domain reputation & hosting analysis

Attachment sandbox behavior

Sender reputation cross-check

Recipient Correlation & Impact Tracing

When a campaign is confirmed malicious, Daylight traces who else received the message, who clicked, and what actions followed — providing full blast radius before any escalation.

All recipients identified across mailboxes

Click and interaction tracing

Follow-on activity correlated

Response & Remediation

Malicious verdicts trigger immediate action — not a ticket to review. Daylight executes response across the affected environment without waiting for manual approval on clear-cut cases.

Quarantine and delete from all mailboxes

How It Works

From Alert to Resolution. Every Email

AI agents handle the full detection-to-response cycle. Security experts step in where human judgment matters most.

01 — Ingestion

All sources, one pipeline

Phishing alerts from all connected platforms and employee-reported emails flow into the same investigation queue — no separate process, no priority tiers.

02 — Investigation

Full enrichment in context

AI agents enrich URLs and domains, analyze sender patterns, check other recipients, review attachment behavior, and correlate against the user's normal communication patterns – producing a verdict with a full evidence chain.

03 — Verdict

Documented decision, not a score

Every investigation produces a verdict – malicious, suspicious, or benign – with full evidence documentation. Ambiguous cases route to security experts who apply judgment.

04 — Response

Action, not a ticket

Malicious verdicts trigger execution in your environment – quarantine, deletion, blocking – without requiring manual handoff for clear-cut cases.
