Description (French)
Winboxer est un outil innovant de visualisation et de gestion personnalisée et sécurisée des courriels conçu pour transformer l’expérience du courriel en utilisant l’intelligence artificielle (AA/IA) et l’apprentissage automatique (AA) afin de réduire les pourriels et les logiciels malveillants connus tout en augmentant la productivité de l’utilisateur. En plus de canaliser en toute sécurité les courriels légitimes, cet outil fournit des renseignements en temps réel sur les cybermenaces en détectant les courriels de hameçonnage et les exploits de compromission des courriels d’affaires (BEC) en analysant les boîtes de réception, en mettant en quarantaine les courriels néfastes et suspects en les représentant visuellement comme nuisibles afin d’empêcher l’engagement réflexe. Winboxer fournit des analyses avancées et complètes et offre des recommandations exploitables pour gérer efficacement les courriels tout en réduisant les pourriels.
