Stop, Remediate, and Block Account Compromise Attempts.

Email is a trusted form of communication in businesses. If just one account is compromised by handing over the username and password accidentally, cybercriminals gain trusted access to your whole network. Account Takeover Fraud is on the rise, and INKY has a unique and innovative way to detect these types of fraudulent attacks.

INKY knows your users and their behaviors.

INKY uses innovative machine learning techniques referred to as stylometry and social graphing to create individual sender profiles and block these types of attacks for your users and most importantly, third-parties.

Account Takeover causes widespread collateral loss.

Hard to Detect

Attackers use ATO to evade SEG reputational filters and even impersonate the specific people whose accounts they’ve compromised.

Impersonation

Once a bad actor harvests, guesses, or brute-forces the password for an email account, and then uses this account to impersonate a person or brand.

Third-Party Vulnerability

You can’t make your vendors implement multi-factor authentication, so what happens when their accounts get taken over and the attacker sends emails?

Widespread Financial Loss

Account Takeover accounts for $5.1Billion in losses for organizations.

Innovative Use of Machine Learning is a Powerful Tool to Prevent Account Takeover.

INKY uses stylometry and other features from emails to build sender profiles and catch forgery attempts — even when those forgeries come from the real senders’ actual email accounts.

: Account Takeovers are a serious cyber fraud crime that occur when a hacker gets a hold of someone’s login credentials. Most likely it is the result of a phishing email, or sometimes the hacker gets access to a person’s credentials because their email password is overly hackable. Regardless of how the imposter got access to the email account, once they have their information, the hacker can easily login to the account and change the User ID and password. From there, they pose as the user. If you have employees or it’s a business email that gets taken over, the hacker will have access to a myriad of business and client data.
: One vital defense in the war against phishing emails (and especially Account Takeovers) is multi-factor authentication. It’s a must-have for companies these days and an easy way to protect your passwords, data, identity and more. However, using multi-factor authentication doesn’t mean you can’t be a victim of Account Takeover. You or your employees could very easily be on the receiving end of an account takeover. Every vendor, friend, relative, or colleague whose email credentials are compromised, might send an unsuspecting phishing email if their account is taken over. You’ll need an advanced email security solution with stylometry capabilities, like that offered by INKY, to catch phony account takeover emails.
: We all have a certain style to our writing, even when it comes to emails. Your word choices, sentence structure, and even the breadth of your vocabulary are all indicators of who is writing what. That’s stylometry. Much in the same way a high school teacher can spot a plagiarized term paper from an original, INKY gets to know her users so that she can keep an eye out for anyone trying to impersonate them with a phishing email or Account Takeover. Stylometry is a powerful tool in INKY’s toolbox, providing Account Takeover protection like no one else can. And, INKY not only detects Account Takeovers using stylometry, INKY also uses an unprecedented combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision to stop phishing emails and keep companies safe.
: Once your account has been taken over, the hacker has full control over your email and oftentimes other accounts as well. Account Takeovers can allow the cybercriminal to access an online banking account, approve or be paid for phony invoices, order goods through a company’s merchant account, unlock corporate records and sensitive data, steal loyalty points, harvest customer data, make unauthorized purchases, extort money from you in exchange for your account credentials, and more.
