SecureEdge AI — AI Email Security & DLP (Claude-Powered) on Azure
SecureEdge AI Email & DLP brings AI-powered Email Security and Data Loss Prevention to a single deployable Azure VM — powered by Claude (Anthropic). Unlike legacy rule-based appliances, SecureEdge AI understands context: it reads each email, scores the threat 0–100, explains its decision in plain English, and acts automatically.
This is the entry tier — focused, affordable email and data protection. Need web filtering and intrusion detection too? See our SecureEdge AI Complete -- DLP, Email & Web Security (Claude-Powered).
🛡 Core Features
- AI Email Security Gateway — Claude analyzes every inbound and outbound email. Detects phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), malware, spam, and social engineering. Actions: block (SMTP 550), quarantine, or allow with audit log.
- AI-Powered DLP — Detects PII, PHI, PCI data, credentials, and intellectual property leaving your organization. Compliance-aware: HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOC2, NIST.
- Natural Language Policy Builder — Describe a policy in plain English (“Block outbound emails with credit card numbers”) and Claude creates it automatically. No rule syntax to learn.
- AI Security Assistant — Built-in Claude chat for threat triage, compliance advice, and security education.
- Quarantine & Threat Dashboard — Every threat event logged with a plain-English AI explanation and automatic quarantine retention.
🤖 The AI Difference
When a BEC attack arrives impersonating your CEO requesting a wire transfer, traditional tools look for known signatures. SecureEdge AI reads the email, recognizes the impersonation, urgency, and embedded account numbers, scores it 95/100, blocks it, and explains exactly why — in language your team can act on immediately.
🎯 Ideal For
- Small & Medium Business (50–500 users) — Enterprise-grade AI email security without a dedicated SOC team
- Healthcare practices — HIPAA-aware PHI detection in email
- Financial & professional services — BEC prevention and PCI/SOX compliance
- Any organization wanting AI email protection without complex deployment
