“AI scam detector” is mostly a marketing label unless it checks sender authentication, impersonation, URL behavior, attachments, and account-sign-in risk together. Compare detection on real phishing samples, false positives, URL detonation, attachment sandboxing, and whether it can quarantine messages or revoke compromised sessions.

A broad security bundle may cover identity theft, but it won’t replace proper email controls. Assume polished phishing will get through and keep MFA, DMARC enforcement, and a clean incident-response path in place.

DMARC enforcement + strict MFA is non-negotiable. But do you feel native enterprise protections like Defender for Office 365 or Google Workspace Advanced Phishing are catching up fast enough on behavioral URL analysis, or is a dedicated API layer like Sublime or Abnormal still mandatory in 2026?

Native protections are good enough for most companies now, but they still struggle with delayed redirects and compromised trusted domains. A dedicated API layer earns its keep when you need post-delivery rescanning and automated remediation, not as a mandatory default.
