Your Accounts Payable department is a priority target for many attackers due to the financial power they hold.
Attackers will often send random invoices through in the hope they'll be paid without second thought, but more frequently they'll socially engineer the victim to make the phish seem legitimate.
Unfortunately, they’re often successful.
Egress Defend intelligently detects fradulent invoices sent via phishing emails
- 1 First-time sender. The user has never engaged with this sender before and yet they’re asking for payment. This signal is treated as highly suspicious by Egress Defend.
Analyze email content for fraudulent payment requests

Not only is the language financial in nature, but a sense of urgency is added in stating the account is overdue. These, combined with language indicative of repercussions, suggests financial phishing.
- 3 URL analysis. The URL itself could be malicious or it can be a legitimate link redirected on-click. Egress Defend performs link analysis, both at the time of receipt and at the time of click, through link re-writing and protects from delayed, post-delivery weaponization.
