Email and Identity Security
Email and identity AI rely on the same techniques — behavioral baselines, graph analysis, and increasingly GenAI for context
Email Security
BEC detection has been ML-powered for years — writing-style analysis, relationship graphs, lookalike domain detection. GenAI is adding payload analysis (does this URL landing page look like a credential harvester?) and conversation-aware phishing detection that reads thread history.
Identity and ITDR
Behavioral baselines for users and service accounts, peer-group analysis, lateral movement detection. Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) platforms now apply AI across IdP logs as standard. Non-human identity (NHI) coverage — service accounts, API keys, machine identities — is a 2026 priority area.
