Factorx.ai

FactorX.ai is revolutionizing cloud email security through an innovative approach that focuses on the complete transformation of email detection into comprehensive protection. Founded by Mani Soni, an experienced engineer with a background at prominent tech companies like Intuit and Walmart Labs, FactorX.ai is addressing the critical security gap where 90% of cyberattacks begin: through email.

## Our Distinctive Approach

What truly sets FactorX.ai apart is our tri-layered security framework that provides end-to-end email protection through three specialized solutions:

### Counter X – Advanced Threat Management

Counter X delivers robust email protection with automated abuse mailbox management, insightful threat dashboards, and rapid risk mitigation. Security teams benefit from advanced tools that streamline the triage process, automatically classifying and prioritizing incidents to ensure high-risk threats are addressed first. The system’s continuous learning capabilities improve accuracy over time, adapting to evolving threats.

Our SOC-grade investigation tools enable lightning-fast threat hunting with full-body search capabilities and one-click bulk remediation actions, minimizing exposure and preventing the spread of malicious content across multiple mailboxes.

### Secure X – AI-Powered Detection

Secure X serves as the frontline defense against sophisticated email threats, leveraging cutting-edge AI to detect and block advanced attacks before they compromise systems. By analyzing hundreds of data points across email components—subject lines, body text, and attachments—our AI accurately distinguishes normal communications from anomalous ones.

This intelligent system automatically stops advanced threats that often bypass traditional security solutions, including Business Email Compromise (BEC), account takeovers, QR code phishing, and executive impersonation. The platform continuously learns and adapts to new attack vectors, ensuring robust protection against the evolving landscape of email-based threats.

### Guard X – Internal Data Safeguard

Guard X focuses on internal data protection with advanced email exfiltration measures. The system automatically classifies and secures sensitive information while enhancing Microsoft DLP with customizable policies. Its sophisticated dual classification approach enables granular control over information flow, creating nuanced policies based on content sensitivity and recipient categories.

By automating this process, Guard X significantly reduces the risk of both accidental and intentional data leaks, ensures regulatory compliance, and strengthens overall data security without burdening end-users with manual classification tasks.

## Technical Expertise and Innovation

FactorX.ai’s technical foundation is impressive, utilizing over 2,000 advanced algorithms and analyzing over half a million datasets to detect and neutralize email threats. Our platform offers unmatched protection through:

1. **AI-Powered Detection**: Utilizing sophisticated machine learning for logo detection, link analysis, natural language processing, entity recognition, and intent analysis in email content, links, and attachments.

2. **Comprehensive Data Protection**: Syncing security parameters using extensive databases including Alexa Top 1M, Cisco Umbrella, and comprehensive lists of suspicious TLDs and URL shorteners for real-time protection.

3. **Attack Scoring System**: Our sophisticated system instantly rates threats from 0 to 100, analyzing everything from sender patterns and IP addresses to hidden links and QR codes, helping automate security decisions.

4. **Automated Remediation**: Providing instantaneous response capabilities with one-click bulk remediation to delete, quarantine, or neutralize threats across multiple mailboxes upon identification.

## Distinctive Security Coverage

Our detection capabilities are comprehensive, addressing modern security threats including:

– **Advanced Malware Detection**: Identifying and blocking HTML smuggling, sophisticated macros, and zero-day threats
