Cut the “is this safe?” tickets.

Inbox Advisor is the inbox-native AI that verifies any sender in seconds and explains why — in plain language. Users decide with confidence, the SOC sees only what matters, and every report becomes a teaching moment instead of a ticket.

A 60-second look at Inbox Advisor inside Outlook.

Why CISOs deploy it

A second opinion your team can defend.

When a user clicks Inbox Advisor, the platform answers the questions an analyst would ask first — faster, every time, with the reasoning attached.

Sender Provenance
Answers who is this — in plain English.
Every verdict resolves the same three questions: who is the sender claiming to be, have you interacted before, and is their organization legitimate. Sources are woven into the answer (e.g. “found on LinkedIn”) so users scan in seconds.
SOC Volume Cut
Only confirmed threats reach the queue.
Safe verdicts stay in the inbox with the reasoning attached — no banner clutter, no escalation. Confirmed malicious mail is quarantined automatically. Disputed verdicts land at the SOC already enriched, not from scratch.
Continuous Coaching
Every verdict is a micro-training moment.
Most reporting tools treat a safe verdict as a dismissal. Inbox Advisor treats it as a chance to show the user what was checked and why. Users get more discerning over time — not more dependent on the tool.
What a verdict looks like

Three questions. Sourced answers.

Every Inbox Advisor verdict — safe or malicious — answers the same three plain-language questions. Sources are woven directly into the reasoning so users can defend the next decision the same way the analyst would.

Disagree with a verdict? Appeal it. The form prompts on the things humans actually notice — tone, urgency, requests for credentials — so the SOC starts the investigation already informed.

Outlook & Gmail

Same reasoning. Native to both.

The analysis is identical on Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The interface differs because Google’s add-on framework is more restrictive — we recommend email-reply delivery on Gmail and either mode on Outlook.

Why it’s different

Banner tools dismiss. Inbox Advisor explains.

Most reporting tools end at “nothing found, move on.” Inbox Advisor uses every verdict — safe or malicious — to make your users smarter.

Legacy SAT & banner tools
Static warnings, dependent users.
Banners every external sender, quarterly training videos, opaque verdicts. Users learn to ignore the banners and quietly forward suspicious mail to IT.
StrongestLayer Inbox Advisor
Reasoned verdicts, more discerning users.
Plain-language verdict on demand, sourced reasoning, in-context micro-training, defensible audit trail. Confidence at the point of decision — not a banner ignored on autopilot.
FAQ

What CISOs ask first.

How does Inbox Advisor reduce SOC ticket volume?

Every user-reported email gets a plain-language verdict explaining who sent it, whether the org has interacted with them before, and whether the sender’s organization is legitimate. Safe verdicts stay in the inbox with the reasoning attached — users build judgment rather than escalating every ambiguous email. Only confirmed malicious mail and disputed verdicts reach the SOC, typically a ~90% reduction in “is this safe?” tickets.

What happens when a user disagrees with a verdict?

They appeal. The form prompts on the things humans actually notice — tone, urgency, requests for credentials — and accepts free-text detail. The SOC starts any investigation from an informed place rather than square one.

Email-reply or in-app panel verdict — which should we deploy?

Email reply is the default and recommended setting. It produces a persistent per-email record, doesn’t disconnect if the user navigates away, and is the only mode we recommend for Gmail. Outlook customers can choose either mode based on whether their team prefers in-line review or a record-keeping audit trail.

Quarantine: after analysis or immediately on report?

After Analysis is the default — only confirmed malicious mail leaves the inbox. Safe verdicts stay with the reasoning, preserving the micro-training benefit and avoiding false-positive overhead. Immediately on Report (coming soon) is stricter and removes every reported email regardless of outcome — suited to organizations with policy mandates.

Existing AI Advisor customers — do we need to reinstall?

No. Inbox Advisor is the same product with a new name, rebuilt for better stability, a cleaner interface, and a smoother experience on both Outlook and Gmail. Existing installations carry over.
