Mobile Social Engineering Defense

One platform. Three capabilities.

SmishAlert protects organizations and the people they serve from social engineering attacks that happen beyond email. It gives people an immediate way to verify suspicious messages, gives high-risk users proactive protection, and gives security teams visibility into coordinated attacks their existing security stack can't see.

How it fits together

Report it. Protect them. Understand the campaign.

Each capability stands on its own. Together they are one picture of the social engineering reaching the people you are responsible for.

1 of 3

REPORT

Give anyone a trusted place to send suspicious messages and get immediate guidance. No app required.

Customers, students, employees, anyone your organization serves.

  • A dedicated number people can text or forward a suspicious message to
  • Screenshot reporting from any messaging app
  • In-app and share-sheet reporting for enrolled users
  • A plain-language answer within moments: Likely fraudulent, Suspicious, No clear signs of fraud detected, or We can't determine this confidently

PROTECT

Proactively identify and stop threats for employees and high-risk users.

Your workforce, executives, and the people attackers target most.

  • A lightweight iOS and Android app: managed fleets deploy it through MDM (zero-touch), BYOD users self-install and redeem a code
  • Unknown-sender screening on iOS, before the tap
  • Protection for high-risk roles: executives, finance, HR, IT administrators, executive assistants
  • Messages from your contacts or known senders are never screened
3 of 3

UNDERSTAND

Give security teams visibility into attacks, targeting patterns, campaigns and organizational exposure.

Security, fraud and IT leadership.

  • Campaign Intelligence: automatic identification of coordinated activity across reports and protected devices
  • Who is being targeted, by what lure, impersonating which brand, and since when
  • Executive reporting, SIEM and API integrations
  • Reporting engagement and protection coverage in one console

Campaign Intelligence

See the attack. Understand the campaign. Protect the next target.

The automatic identification of coordinated activity across reports and protected devices. SmishAlert automatically identifies related attacks and coordinated campaigns across reports and protected devices.

When a message or link is confirmed malicious, the next unknown-sender check on any protected iPhone marks it automatically.

SmishAlert continuously builds intelligence from real-world social-engineering activity. Campaign Intelligence works on analyzed patterns, not on retained message content.

Deployment

Managed, BYOD, or no app at all.

SmishAlert is a lightweight iOS and Android app: managed fleets deploy it through your MDM (zero-touch), and BYOD users self-install and redeem a code. Reporting by text needs no app at all.

Privacy posture

Scoped, and stated plainly.

  • Messages from unknown senders are analyzed to identify the sender pattern, and are not retained.
  • We do not read messages from your contacts or known senders.
  • Automatic screening covers unknown-sender messages only. Everything else reaches security only when the employee chooses to report it.
  • Messages you send are analyzed to answer you and are not kept. Your phone number is not stored on a permanent record.

Intelligence should flow into the systems your team already uses, not become another dashboard to check.

Where the stack stops

Your defenses stop before the phone. The attackers didn't.

Every layer you already own stops at a boundary the attacker walks right past. The message is the last mile, and it's the one nobody else covers.

Email security (SEG)
Stops at:The inbox
Doesn't see SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, or DMs at all
EDR / XDR
Stops at:The managed endpoint
No agent on the messaging layer; nothing on a personal phone
SWG / SSE
Stops at:Traffic routed through the gateway
A personal iPhone on cellular never routes through it, and it has to decrypt TLS to see anything
SmishAlert
Stops at:The message, before the tap
Any iPhone, managed or BYOD, blocked upstream, without reading message content

FAQ

Questions security leaders ask

What is automatically screened, and what is reported?

Automatic screening covers unknown-sender SMS and MMS on iOS, before the tap. Everything else, on any platform or app, is reported by the person: forwarded to a number, sent from the share sheet, or submitted in the app.

What does someone get back when they report?

One of four plain-language assessments (Likely fraudulent, Suspicious, No clear signs of fraud detected, We can't determine this confidently) and a next step. SmishAlert identifies evidence of risk. It does not authenticate third-party communications.

How does Campaign Intelligence work?

The automatic identification of coordinated activity across reports and protected devices. Reports and detections that belong together are grouped into one campaign with the brand being impersonated, the lure, the timeline and the volume. Campaign Intelligence works on analyzed patterns, not on retained message content. The method itself is documented for customers under NDA, not on this page.

What integrations exist?

SIEM streaming, an API, and reporting from Slack and Teams. Executive reporting is built in.

What about privacy on personal phones?

We do not read messages from your contacts or known senders. Automatic screening covers unknown-sender messages only. Everything else reaches security only when the employee chooses to report it.
