Hi everyone!

Recently we have drowning in a sea of phishing attempts (software company, about 3300 employees). Our management finally woke up and green-lit a budget for a real email security solution.

We were all set to take Abnormal Security for a spin, but then some friends/colleagues started sharing mixed reviews. Now I’m second-guessing everything and wondering if we’re the only ones struggling this much. Figured I’d tap the hive mind here.

So, lay it on me:

1. What’s everyone using these days to block those sneaky spearphishing attempts? Any products actually keeping up with the onslaught, or are we all in the same leaky boat?
2. With all this AI-powered phishing madness, has anyone found vendors that are genuinely staying ahead of the curve, or is it a losing battle across the board?
3. Any widespread nightmares or products that seem to be falling short for multiple companies? What should we steer clear of?

Darktrace and Avanan are on our radar too, but honestly, I’m open to anything at this point. If you’ve got war stories or insights on the current state of affairs, I’m all ears.

Thanks for any wisdom you can drop
