Case Study: Chelsea Football Club achieves AI-driven email protection and 513 analyst hours saved with IRONSCALES

IRONSCALES’ powerfully simple email security solution helps you fight back fast and keeps your company safe in today’s cloud-first world

Chelsea Football Club, a high-profile Premier League club with roughly 800 backend staff, faced escalating email-based threats and had no dedicated anti-phishing solution beyond cumbersome Office 365 filters. Concerned about data leaks and frequent phishing attempts targeting sports organizations, the busy internal security team sought automation, mobile remediation, and user training and selected IRONSCALES’ self-learning, AI-driven email security platform (including its mobile app and phishing simulation/training).

IRONSCALES integrated with Chelsea Football Club’s Office 365 inboxes, automatically inspecting and removing threats, providing an easy report button and mobile triage, and running continuous phishing simulations. The vendor’s solution helped remediate 102,618 emails in the past year, saved 513 hours and 54 minutes of analyst time, and supported resolution of over 2,000 incidents since 2019 (572 phishing, 693 spam, 313 safe), while noticeably improving employee phishing awareness.
