PIXM Security, the leader in AI-driven computer vision cybersecurity, announced today the launch of its new Managed Service Provider (MSP) program for zero-day phishing protection. With over 500,000 end users already protected, PIXM shields MSPs and their customers from credential theft and zero-day phishing attacks that can lead to malware and other exploits on their laptops, desktops and mobile platforms.

Over 50 percent of phishing links are clicked outside corporate email. While phishing security is often associated solely with email protection, cybercriminals are adapting and increasingly exploiting other channels such as SMS, social media platforms (such as Facebook), SaaS work apps (such as Slack and Google Docs), and even QR codes to deliver phishing attacks. This shift leaves many organizations vulnerable, as legacy email security solutions do not cover these expanding attack vectors.

PIXM uses AI Computer Vision to protect users right in the browser the moment they click on a link. This real-time approach acts as a “second set of eyes,” instantly and accurately analyzing web pages and on screen content to determine its legitimacy and promptly alerting users to potential threats and phishing attempts. This approach provides unmatched protection across all digital touchpoints and all types of phishing attacks. 

PIXM also prevents threats from stealthy spear phishing links that users click in their email box, which evade even the most sophisticated email protection because hackers can mask credential harvesting phishing links until the moment they are clicked by a targeted user.

The PIXM MSP program includes these and other benefits: 

• High Value, Low Cost: $1 per user, per month with unlimited devices.
• High Margin: Aggressive margins for new partners.
• High Impact, Low Friction: Stops targeted phishing attacks at the click and deploys in minutes as a browser-based plugin, supporting IOS, Windows and Mac, with no training required.
• Free NFR Licenses: While securing clients, MSPs can also protect their own teams with no-cost Not For Resale (NFR) licenses.

PIXM will launch the MSP program and present its award winning technology at Kaseya DattoCon 2024 in Miami on October 28 – 30 at Booth B14 and at IT Nation Connect 2024 in Orlando on November 6 – 8 at Booth 20.

PIXM, pioneers of the first real-time AI computer vision solution, has published its latest blog focusing on ongoing phishing activity beginning in November 2023 that is linked to two prominent threat groups: Tycoon and Storm-1575. 

These MFA spear phishing attacks used common attack Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platforms and stealthy attack patterns – including Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM), social engineering, customized logins and robust and large-scale infrastructure – to target officials at large US school districts with the purpose of compromising key administrator email accounts and ultimately delivering ransomware.

In this attack, the school’s Chief of Human Capital and multiple finance and payroll administrators received targeted phishing emails providing them with a link to update their passwords to secure their account. Ultimately, victims were directed to pages requesting two-factor authentication codes, thus completely bypassing MFA protections.
