Never leave aphish uninvestigated
From user reports to email security alerts, every suspected phish gets investigated and resolved within your MDR, without becoming your team's workload.
There’s more phishing than there are hours
Every report needs an investigation.
Your team can’t spend all day doing them.
The most convincing phishing and BEC can hide in plain sight without identity, behavioral, and business context. And when employee reports disappear into a queue, people stop reporting, making the next real threat easier to miss.
Phishing coverage that doesn’t stop at the inbox
Every report gets an answer. Every real threat gets a response.
User-Reported Phishing
Every suspicious email reported by an employee gets investigated, with a documented verdict and feedback to the reporter when appropriate.
Email Security Alerts
Alerts from your email security tools get investigated with identity, behavioral, and business context to determine what actually requires action.
Business Email Compromise & Spearphishing
Identity, role, organizational structure, and communication patterns expose impersonation and fraud that technical indicators alone can miss.
URL & Attachment Analysis
URLs, domains, senders, and attachments are analyzed for reputation, behavior, and signs of malicious activity.
Recipient & Impact Tracing
Confirmed threats are traced across recipients, clicks, and follow-on activity to establish the full scope of an attack.
Response & Remediation
Confirmed threats are contained across affected mailboxes and the broader environment, without waiting on your team to carry out the response.
From report to resolution
Every report and alert is investigated to a clear verdict, with confirmed threats carried through response.
Nothing waits for someone to pick it up
When an employee reports a suspicious email, or your email security flags one, Daylight opens a case instantly. No queue, no inbox to work through.
Go beyond what’s in the email
Senders, URLs, attachments, recipients, and communication patterns are analyzed alongside identity and business context to distinguish legitimate activity from real threats.
A documented decision
Every investigation ends with a clear verdict—malicious, suspicious, or benign—backed by evidence and expert review when needed.
Action taken
Confirmed threats are contained across affected mailboxes, with malicious emails removed, senders and domains blocked, and experts brought in when an active campaign demands it.
Phishing has taken enough of your time, get it back
Frequently asked questions
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a form of cyberattack in which criminals impersonate trusted individuals or compromise legitimate email accounts to manipulate employees into transferring money, sharing sensitive information, or changing payment details. BEC attacks often rely on social engineering rather than malicious attachments, making them difficult for traditional email security controls to detect. Collective losses from BEC attacks consistently outpace any other type of cybercrime, including ransomware.
Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a targeted form of phishing that typically impersonates executives, vendors, or trusted contacts to manipulate financial or business processes. Traditional phishing often uses malicious links or attachments to steal credentials or deliver malware. BEC may contain no obviously malicious content, relying instead on convincing language, relationships, and timing. BECs also frequently involved compromised email accounts and. evasion techniques like malicious email hiding or forwarding rules.
A reported phishing email should be investigated to determine whether it is malicious, who else received it, and whether anyone interacted with it. Security teams should examine sender information, links, attachments, and related activity. Confirmed threats may require removing messages, blocking indicators, resetting credentials, or investigating compromised accounts to prevent further damage.
Phishing investigations examine email headers, sender identity, URLs, attachments, and message content to determine whether an email is malicious. Investigators also check whether recipients clicked links, opened attachments, or submitted credentials. Effective investigations correlate email activity with identity, endpoint, and network telemetry to assess impact and determine the appropriate response.
Phishing investigation time depends on the complexity of the message, available telemetry, and whether a user interacted with the threat. Straightforward reports may be resolved in minutes, while credential theft or account compromise requires deeper investigation. Automated analysis can accelerate initial verdicts, allowing security teams to prioritize confirmed threats and respond quickly.
Email security software can detect some Business Email Compromise (BEC) attempts using impersonation detection, behavioral analysis, and suspicious message patterns. However, sophisticated BEC attacks may use legitimate accounts and contain no malicious links or attachments. Additional investigation using identity activity, communication history, and business context helps identify threats that email filtering alone may miss. Monitoring for the creation of email forwarding rules, email hiding rules, and the creation of email folders can also help uncover BEC related activity.
