Email Threat Intelligence is the newest enhancement to ManagedMethods’ Advanced Phishing solution, giving K-12 IT teams AI-powered phishing analytics and real-time visibility into the email threats targeting their district. Phishing remains one of the biggest cybersecurity challenges facing K-12 school districts. Although blocking malicious emails remains critical, modern IT teams must also understand the broader context. Who is being targeted? What types of phishing attacks are increasing? Are existing security controls working as expected?
Today, we’re excited to introduce Email Threat Intelligence, the next evolution of our Advanced Phishing solution for Cloud Monitor.
Designed specifically for K-12 schools, Email Threat Intelligence combines our AI-powered phishing detection with a new interactive analytics dashboard that gives district technology teams the visibility they need to make smarter, more proactive security decisions.
The Foundation: Advanced Phishing
Email Threat Intelligence builds on the powerful capabilities of Advanced Phishing, ManagedMethods’ AI-powered phishing detection solution for K-12 schools.
Advanced Phishing uses chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning AI to detect and block phishing and spam emails before they reach users’ inboxes. Built specifically for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, it continuously learns from the types of attacks targeting school districts, improving detection accuracy while reducing false positives.
Beyond identifying suspicious emails, Advanced Phishing also recommends response actions and automates remediation, helping lean IT teams respond faster while reducing manual investigation time.
What’s New: Email Threat Intelligence
Detecting phishing emails is only part of the equation. District technology leaders also need visibility into broader attack trends so they can prioritize resources, strengthen defenses, and better protect students and staff.
This is exactly the gap that Email Threat Intelligence is designed to fill.
The new analytics dashboard transforms phishing alerts into meaningful insights, giving K-12 IT teams a real-time view of their district’s email threat landscape.
Understand Your District’s Phishing Threat Landscape
Gain a comprehensive, real-time view of phishing activity across your district. Instead of investigating emails one at a time, IT teams can quickly understand overall phishing volume, campaign activity, and emerging trends.
Identify Your Highest-Risk Users
See which staff members and students are being targeted most frequently by phishing attacks. These insights help prioritize security awareness training, monitor high-risk accounts, and focus limited IT resources where they can make the greatest impact.
Understand How Attackers Are Trying to Get In
Email Threat Intelligence automatically classifies phishing attacks by category, including:
- Credential harvesting
- Business Email Compromise (BEC)
- Brand impersonation
- Platform abuse
- Other phishing techniques
Understanding how attackers are targeting your district helps your team stay ahead of evolving threats.
Spot Trends Before They Become Incidents
Track phishing activity over time to identify spikes, recurring campaigns, and periods of elevated risk. By recognizing attack patterns, districts can better prepare for increased phishing activity and respond more proactively.
Measure the Effectiveness of Your Email Security
Key analytics—including total emails scanned, flagged emails, flag rate, and phishing prevalence—help districts better understand their overall phishing exposure and evaluate the effectiveness of their existing email security controls.
Accelerate Investigation and Remediation
When a phishing threat is identified, every minute matters.
Email Threat Intelligence allows administrators to move directly from the analytics dashboard into a live email search, making it easy to investigate suspicious messages and remove malicious emails across the entire domain before additional users are impacted.
Built for Lean K-12 IT Teams
Many school technology departments don’t have dedicated security analysts or large cybersecurity teams. They need tools that surface meaningful insights without requiring hours of manual investigation.
Email Threat Intelligence helps districts answer questions like:
- Are phishing attacks increasing?
- Which users are being targeted most often?
- What attack methods are becoming more common?
- Are our current protections working?
- Where should we focus our attention first?
Instead of piecing together information from multiple reports, IT teams can quickly understand what’s happening across their district and take action with confidence.
