Bolster Unveils AI Security for Email: A Game-Changing Defense Against Phishing and Impersonation Scams

New Feature Combines Crowdsourced Customer Reports and AI-Driven Automation to Protect
Brands from Fraud Schemes in Real Time

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To help organizations fight the sharp rise in AI-backed phishing and impersonation attempts, Bolster, a leader in multi-channel phishing protection, today released a new feature, Bolster AI Security for Email, which automates the analysis and mitigation of cyber threats reported through customer abuse mailboxes.

“Manual triage and processing by Tier-1 and Tier-2 security operations center (SOC) analysts is time-consuming and wildly costly for organizations. These cybersecurity inadequacies have substantial impacts on security teams, and importantly, on the customer experience,” said Alain Mayer, VP of Product at Bolster. “This can result in significant customer churn and financial losses. We are empowering organizations to avoid these challenges by providing AI tools that are efficient, and automate the fight against phishing scams, impersonation and other fraud schemes.”

Large brands and enterprises are facing a flood of phishing, impersonation, and scam attempts, with some brands receiving upwards of 30,000 emails per month from customers reporting suspicious activity. For SOC personnel, handling these reports manually is inefficient and requires specialized knowledge. Additionally, manual processes can take, on average, days to weeks for each individual takedown, with impacts felt by multiple departments including Customer Support, Cybersecurity, Fraud Protection, Legal, Marketing, and more.

Bolster AI Security for Email handles the entire lifecycle of a threat, from identifying domain registrants to sending cease-and-desist letters and coordinating global takedowns. During beta, the Bolster team identified a high true positive accuracy, with large brands seeing ~35% true positive rate, meaning about 1 in 3 reports of threat are legitimate. This helps organizations to focus resources on real issues, while also reducing internal costs. A recent study has shown that 15% of scammed users do not renew their licenses. AI-driven remediation can help to prevent this.

“This new feature doesn’t just stop phishing threats—it protects your customers’ trust. By enabling direct customer generated reporting and automating rapid threat mitigation, brands can demonstrate an active commitment to security,” continued Mayer. “This goes beyond employee-driven models by directly engaging those who are most affected. While other tools focus on AI-driven analysis with human oversight, Bolster AI Security for Email fully automates the entire process, from triage to communication with customers, once a threat is neutralized.”

Additionally, AI Security for Email scales effortlessly, so SOC teams can manage tens of thousands of customer-reported emails monthly without requiring additional internal resources.

This means that takedowns that used to take 1-2 days can now happen in just a few hours, preventing damage before it escalates.

Axis My America Poll, in Partnership with ITV Gold, Predicts Trump’s Victory in 2024 U.S. Presidential Election with Republicans Leading in Electoral Votes

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Axis My America (AMA), a leading consumer intelligence company, has released its United States Presidential Election 2024 Prediction based on an extensive national survey. The report, covering about 9593 respondents across all 50 states & District of Columbia, projects that Republican candidate Donald Trump holds a slight edge with 49% Popular Vote and an estimated 291 (+15) electoral votes, compared to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris‘s 48% Popular vote and 247 (+15) electoral votes. Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the states with very close fight which could swing 15 electoral votes to either party. The survey utilized a comprehensive methodology, incorporating face-to-face interviews and direct panel interactions to capture genuine voter sentiment and analyze key issues shaping the election. The Prediction Model is notably a Harvard Business Case Study and has an accuracy rate of 92% in the last 12 years while calling 76 elections including 3 General elections.

Axis My America Poll, in Partnership with ITV Gold, Predicts Trump’s Victory in 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

According to AMA’s findings, the election landscape is shaped by economic concerns, with inflation and healthcare access emerging as top voter priorities. The survey shows a close race, reflecting a nation divided over key issues such as national security, immigration, and economic stability. Demographic analysis further reveals notable shifts: White and Hispanic voters are leaning towards the Republican Party, while African Americans largely favor the Democratic Party. Gender plays a distinct role, with men supporting Trump and women favoring Harris. Younger voters (18-34) show stronger support for the Democratic Party, while older voters (45+) lean Republican. With these divisions, the election outcome may come down to candidates’ ability to address core issues that resonate with diverse voting groups.

AMA’s report emphasizes the critical role of swing states, particularly Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where close polling margins suggest a tight race. Other pivotal battlegrounds like Arizona, Georgia show narrow divides that could tip either way. In Michigan, a slight Democratic edge exists, driven by strong African American and Asian American support, while White American voters lean Republican. In contrast, Pennsylvania is experiencing shifts among Asian American and White voters towards the Republican Party, with employment and inflation cited as key concerns. Wisconsin reflects a blend of shifting loyalties, with Independents and some Democratic voters moving towards the GOP, underscoring the fluidity and intensity of competition in swing states. Interestingly, battleground beyond the traditional swing states is also evolving. Shifting voter priorities and narrowing margins are expanding the traditional swing-state battleground to new states.

KanTime and Tennr Announce Strategic Partnership to Streamline Post-Acute Care Operations

Published

By

KanTime has partnered with Tennr to streamline document handling for post-acute care agencies, reducing administrative burdens by automating document data entry into KanTime’s EMR, allowing agencies to focus on patient care. Tennr’s machine-learning models accurately process complex documents, enhancing efficiency and reducing intake times. This partnership aims to support healthcare providers in managing costs and increasing patient referrals, fostering growth within the sector.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tennr, the intelligent automation platform for healthcare documents, announced today that it has joined forces with KanTime, a leading Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solution for post-acute care agencies. Tennr’s preferred partnership with KanTime will empower home health, hospice, pediatric, private duty, and consumer-directed service agencies to reduce administrative burdens and optimize their workflows, specifically around external referral and other document data transfer to patient intake records, allowing them to focus more on delivering exceptional patient care.

“Through our partnership with KanTime and with customers like MGA Homecare, Home Health agencies will have the capability to eliminate burdensome administrative tasks using Tennr and can focus on what’s important; patient care, outcomes, and experience.”

With this partnership, healthcare businesses using KanTime and Tennr’s automation will benefit from intuitive software that automates manual data-entry into KanTime’s EMR. Over the past six months, as Tennr has built out processes for automated referral data entry for intake, requests for more information and external prior authorization—Tennr is getting closer to streamlining all of healthcare’s pre-visit work.

“The automation between KanTime and Tennr has been so seamless. I was skeptical at first—I thought there was no way Tennr could read documents the hospitals send, but it finds the data I can’t find and gets it into KanTime. It’s saving us a crazy amount of time on referral intake,” said Nina Boulay, Senior Director of Intake at MGA Homecare and joint customer.

As healthcare providers continue to face declining reimbursement rates and soaring costs, the KanTime and Tennr Preferred Partnership marks a huge step forward in supporting post-acute healthcare businesses with the tools needed to fuel organizational growth. The combined capabilities of KanTime’s comprehensive software suite and Tennr’s machine-learning powered platform will enable healthcare providers to drive more patient referrals, reduce first time denials, and grow more efficiently than ever before.

Tennr’s proprietary machine learning models have stood out in the healthcare market because they’re built to understand the messy, nuanced nature of medical documents. Unlike the more popular “AI” large language models, Tennr’s models were developed to account for the unstructured nature of these documents—like checkboxes, handwriting, and multiple patients spread non-contiguously throughout dozens of pages of a referral fax.

“We are thrilled to partner with Tennr to deliver greater value to our clients,” said KanTime CEO Sundar Kanna. “By combining our expertise in post-acute care software with Tennr’s innovative approach to processing patient documents, we’re providing agencies with the tools they need to simplify external administrative tasks and focus on providing quality patient care.”

Matt Forman, Tennr’s VP of Partnerships, added: “through our partnership with KanTime and with customers like MGA Homecare, Home Health agencies will have the capability to eliminate burdensome administrative tasks using Tennr and can focus on what’s important; patient care, outcomes, and experience.”

About KanTime

KanTime is a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise software for post-acute care agencies, including home health, hospice, pediatric, private duty, and consumer-directed services. KanTime’s comprehensive solutions empower agencies to streamline operations, enhance compliance, and improve patient outcomes.

About Tennr

Tennr’s intelligent automation platform reads every document passing through healthcare practices and automates clinical and operational tasks like qualifying and scheduling patient visits. With Tennr, practices drive more patient referrals, reduce first time denials on the front-end by 98%, and grow with 1/6th the headcount. To learn more, visit tennr.com
