91% of cyberattacks start with an email. Pristine implements enterprise email security for Saudi organisations — blocking phishing, BEC fraud, malware attachments, and impersonation attacks before they reach your inbox. Purpose-built for the Arabic-language phishing campaigns and CEO fraud tactics targeting Saudi executives.
Saudi organisations face a specific and evolving email threat landscape — Arabic-language phishing campaigns, APT34 spear-phishing, and BEC fraud targeting Saudi executives and finance teams are at record levels.
APT34/OilRig creates highly targeted spear-phishing emails referencing Saudi government procedures, NCA requirements, and Saudi business contexts — fooling even security-aware recipients. Arabic-language lures specifically crafted for Saudi targets.
BEC fraud targeting Saudi finance and treasury teams — impersonating CEOs, CFOs, and Saudi authorities to redirect wire transfers. Saudi BEC losses run into billions of SAR annually. Arabic-language BEC campaigns specifically target Saudi Arabic-speaking finance staff.
Excel macros, malicious PDFs, and weaponised Office documents delivering ransomware payloads — the initial access vector for the majority of Saudi ransomware incidents Pristine has responded to.
Attackers registering near-identical domains (pristine-ksa.com, ncaa.gov.sa) to impersonate Saudi businesses and government entities in phishing campaigns targeting Saudi employees and citizens.
Emails containing links to phishing pages hosted on compromised Saudi websites or international hosting mimicking Saudi government and bank portals — often bypassing URL reputation filters.
2024 onwards: AI-generated phishing emails in grammatically perfect Arabic — previously, poor Arabic was a giveaway. LLM-assisted phishing has made language quality a completely unreliable phishing indicator.
Every suspicious attachment detonated in an isolated sandbox before delivery — executing Excel macros, PDF scripts, and executables to observe behaviour rather than relying on signature matching. Catches zero-day malware invisible to AV.
All URLs in emails rewritten to proxy through Pristine's inspection engine — clicked at delivery-time to detect phishing pages that were safe when scanned but activated malicious content later. Time-of-click protection.
AI-powered sender impersonation detection — identifying display name spoofing, domain lookalikes, and writing style anomalies that indicate BEC fraud. Specific detection for Saudi executive names and Saudi company patterns.
Email authentication infrastructure deployment — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured for your domains at p=reject to prevent attackers from sending emails that appear to come from your domain. Protects your brand and your clients.
Outbound email encryption for sensitive communications and DLP inspection to block emails containing PDPL-protected personal data, classified information, or payment card numbers from leaving your organisation.
Pristine's simulated phishing programme — sending realistic Arabic-language phishing simulation emails to Saudi employees and training those who click. Reduces click rates by 85%+ within 90 days.
Pristine's email security configurations include Arabic-language BEC detection models, Arabic phishing simulation campaigns, and Arabic-language user awareness training — covering the threat vector that English-only solutions miss.
Saudi BEC fraud is a multi-billion SAR annual problem. Pristine's BEC detection models are trained on Saudi-specific attack patterns — impersonation of Saudi executives, Saudi government entities, and Saudi payment instruction fraud.
Every suspicious attachment detonated in isolated sandbox — macro analysis, PDF script execution, and executable behaviour analysis catching zero-day malware that signature-based scanning misses.
Pristine implements full DMARC authentication at p=reject within 4-8 weeks — preventing attackers from sending emails from your Saudi domain. PCI DSS v4.0 requirement satisfied.
Pristine's simulated phishing programme sends Arabic-language phishing emails to Saudi employees — measuring click rates, delivering immediate Arabic-language training to those who click, and reducing organisational vulnerability by 85%+ within 90 days.
Email security events correlated in SIEM and automated response playbooks in SOAR — phishing email detection triggering automated quarantine of all similar messages across all inboxes simultaneously.
Pristine's BEC detection flagged a CEO impersonation email requesting an SAR 850,000 wire transfer — the display name was exactly right and the email domain was a convincing typosquat. Our finance team would have sent the wire without the warning. The Arabic-language BEC models Pristine configured are genuinely saving us from six-figure fraud monthly.
The DMARC p=reject implementation Pristine completed in 6 weeks stopped 3 active phishing campaigns impersonating our bank's domain within the first month. Our fraud team had been fighting domain spoofing for years — it disappeared overnight when DMARC was enforced. The most impactful security change we have made in 5 years.
Pristine's Arabic phishing simulation programme reduced our employee click rate from 34% to 4% in 90 days. The Arabic-language training was critical — our previous English phishing simulations weren't relatable for many of our Saudi staff. The improvement in security culture has been remarkable.
