RPost Intelligence™ - AI Intelligence for the Good Guys.

Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. By now, you’ve probably heard about the Microsoft and CrowdStrike update issue that caused mainly large companies using cloud PCs to crash and display the infamous blue screen of death. This has impacted companies everywhere, mainly those with these “thin client” Windows devices.

The technical explanation, according to Microsoft, was a configuration change in a portion of its Azure back-end workloads that caused interruption between storage and compute resources, which resulted in connectivity failures that affected downstream Microsoft 365 services dependent on these connections.

Now that is a mouthful, even for an armadillo 😉.

Most normal users did not understand what to do, and were told to keep rebooting, rebooting, rebooting…

The point here is that your company computer systems are fragile; meaning there is risk abound. Risks due to incompatibility in normal updates pushed by software companies like Microsoft and CrowdStrike, and of course risks of nefarious activities impacting computer systems and content triggered by cybercriminal activities.

In today’s environment, one needs all the computing intelligence possible to get in front of issues, and ideally pre-empt them.

This is the reason RPost announced its RPost Intelligence™ initiative.

RPost Intelligence™ AI is a combination of RPost innovative, patented and patent pending technologies that run alongside both left brain analytical AI models and right brain creative AI models. The RPost left brain AI technologies analyze vast amounts of dynamically changing data in real time using natural language processing (NLP) and other machine learning (ML) techniques to identify security risks, anomalous patterns, and document and transaction insights, while the RPost right brain AI technologies build on these outputs to report broader trends and communicate those in easily human digestible manners.

RPost Intelligence™ technologies cut across five RPost® product themes to protect against cybercriminal impersonation attacks which often lead to Business Email Compromise, ransomware, insider leaks, and other crimes; reduce the risk of human error, and boost business productivity with security in mind.

RPost Intelligence can “un-leak” a leak, whether from human error mis-sending information, insider threats or due to a cybercriminal listening in on a compromised email account, even if that email account is external to one’s networks (e.g., at a client site).

RPost Intelligence can spot cybercriminals attempting to stage their hyper-targeted and GenAI-empowered attacks outside of company networks, while they are in their information gathering phase. These AI security insights that can pre-empt cybercrime have saved the day many times over.

RPost Intelligence includes valuable protection scenarios, like these and more.
