One single seemingly harmless phishing email slips through the cracks, leading to thousands of compromised customer accounts and irreparable damage to your brand’s reputation.
Scenarios like this are no longer rare—they’re becoming the norm.
For enterprise brands, email-based threats have evolved beyond simple nuisances. They’re now direct, strategic attacks on customer trust and the financial health of your business.
With this evolution, traditional combat methods often fall short.
Why Crowd-Sourcing Matters for Email Defense
Leading brands receive over 30,000 customer-reported phishing emails per month on average. With such a staggering amount, even the best manual triage process can’t keep up.
Think about it. It can take up to 6 minutes to review a single phishing email, with two out of three emails being false positives. The longer it takes to confirm and address real threats, the more likely it is that a phishing attack will succeed, potentially leading to financial losses, data breaches, or harm to customer trust.
This is where the value of crowd-sourcing comes into play.
By enabling customers to report phishing attempts directly to your brand, you can broaden your security net and uncover threats more quickly. One customer report can reveal massive campaigns, allowing brands to respond faster and protect their broader customer base.
