Learn How IRONSCALES Protects the Students and Staff of Ayrshire College From Phishing Attacks

Ayrshire College, a further and higher education provider in Scotland with over 10,000 students and 800 staff, faced rising phishing attacks across a blended on-site and remote workforce. To address this top security risk, the college selected IRONSCALES’ AI-driven, self-learning email security platform and continuous phishing simulation tools to protect inboxes and strengthen staff cyber awareness.

IRONSCALES was deployed quickly via a proof of concept and connected to the college’s Office 365, automatically detecting and removing threats at scale. In a 90-day period IRONSCALES remediated 3,255 potentially malicious emails and helped save up to 420 analyst hours, while boosting self-reporting, cyber maturity, and enabling ongoing phishing simulation campaigns.
