The challenge: Inefficient tools hindering swift threat investigations

FHC already had Red Sift OnDMARC in place to ensure robust defense against direct domain impersonation. However, the company still faced a significant threat: lookalike and cousin domain attacks. In these phishing schemes, attackers use domains that closely resemble FHC’s to deceive recipients, such as employees or partners.

Investigating these phishing emails was a manual, resource-intensive process. Zachary Bennett, IT Security Manager at FHC, described the pain points: “Analyzing a suspicious email like this would take at least 30 minutes. I’d have to manually trace headers, check connectors, dig into the Microsoft admin portal, and cross-reference tools. It was tedious and left room for error.”

This inefficiency became a critical issue when the Finance team received a phishing email appearing to come from the company president, requesting a large payment. The team needed a faster, more reliable way to identify and respond to such threats.

The solution: Faster, smarter threat response with Red Sift Radar

FHC had recently adopted Red Sift Radar, the upskilled LLM that’s seamlessly integrated with OnDMARC. One of its key capabilities is helping security teams analyze suspicious emails without ever opening them. Zachary tested Radar on the fraudulent invoice email: “I forwarded the email, and within seconds, Radar flagged the IP address as suspicious, revealed the domain was newly registered, and highlighted mismatched usernames. What used to take me 30 minutes was done instantly. Within 24 hours of adopting Red Sift Radar, it helped us confirm that an invoice was fraudulent, saving us $4,000."

By surfacing critical details quickly, Radar not only saved time but also provided the clarity and confidence the team needed to act decisively.

What makes Radar a must-have for Security teams

Radar quickly became an essential tool for FHC, transforming their approach to email security with these standout features:

  1. Integration with OnDMARC

    Beyond analyzing suspicious emails, Radar’s integration with Red Sift OnDMARC helps find and fix email security misconfigurations. For example, it flags misconfigurations in DMARC and SPF records and highlights unknown IP addresses that could be potential threats. “Radar alerts us to subtle red flags we wouldn’t catch manually,” Zachary explained. “It helps us stay one step ahead of attackers.”

  2. Efficient workflows

    Radar dramatically streamlined day-to-day processes for FHC’s small security team. “Having everything in one platform eliminated the need for external tools like DNS checkers and MXToolbox,” said Zachary Bennett. “This integration saved time and minimized the context switching that slows investigations.”

  3. Intuitive and accessible design

    Radar’s user-friendly interface made it easy to implement and use from day one. “You don’t need to be an expert to get value out of it,” Zachary said. “Its reports are human-readable, so you can immediately act on the insights without needing extra training.”
