What Zoes adds on top
The attack type on every flagged email
Invoice fraud, credential phishing, impersonation - each dangerous email is labelled, so whoever handles IT knows what it was without a security analyst.
Catches attacks from inside
Zoes checks mail between employees, so a hijacked account phishing its colleagues is caught too.

A per-person ranking and an attack map show who attackers go after and where they come from.

Questions
Isn't Gmail's or Microsoft's spam filter good enough?
For volume, yes. It is not designed for a one-off email impersonating your supplier with new bank details - nothing in it looks like spam.
Does Zoes turn off Google or Microsoft filtering?
No. Their filtering runs first; Zoes checks what reaches the inbox.
What is business email compromise?
An attacker poses as a colleague, executive or supplier to get someone to send money or change payment details. The FBI recorded $2.77 billion in reported losses from it in 2024.
