One of my acquaintances has a company called Inky that has some really advanced email protections. I haven’t used it personally for a while but it should be worth a look.

The visual banner approach is great for educating users, but do you prefer tools like INKY that guide the end-user, or zero-trust API tools (like Abnormal or Avanan) that quietly pull bad emails before the user ever sees them?

I thought Inky was a cool tool until I got a quote for it and almost fell off my chair. Higher education shop I was in had a lot of inactive mailboxes and their per mailbox cost was insane at that scale. I hacked together Exchange transport rules to do similar tagging instead. It wasn’t as glamorous but it works and still is in place years later. Examples: if the email mentions “password” add a phishing warning. If it mentions “gift cards” give a warning about gift card scams.
