Phishing Risk Scoring: Smarter Threat Detection with Lucy 5.5
Discover Lucy’s new phishing risk scoring. Automatically analyse reported phishing emails, assign severity levels, and focus on real threats faster.
Why Phishing Risk Scoring Matters
Employees report suspicious emails every day. But security teams often face hundreds of reports, many of them false alarms. Sorting through them takes time, drains resources, and slows down real response.
This is where phishing risk scoring comes in. By automatically assessing reports and ranking them by severity, organisations can act faster and smarter.
Introducing Phishing Risk Scoring in Lucy 5.5
The latest Lucy 5.5 update includes a beta feature for phishing risk scoring. Using built-in AI analysis, Lucy now:
Reviews every reported email.
Identifies suspicious or malicious patterns.
Assigns a risk score to highlight the most urgent cases.
Instead of wading through false positives, your team can immediately focus on the real threats.
How Phishing Risk Scoring Works
With phishing risk scoring, reported messages are automatically filtered and prioritised. All reported emails get a risk score.
High score = high risk → investigate first.
Medium score = possible risk → review as time allows.
Low score = safe → often dismissed automatically.
This triage process means incidents that once took hours to validate can now be flagged and escalated within seconds.
This saves your team a lot of time and allows them to focus on the most important items first.
Beyond Risk Scoring: Other Lucy 5.5 Enhancements
While phishing risk scoring is the headline, the Lucy 5.5 release also brings:
WhatsApp phishing simulations – train staff on real-world smishing via messaging apps.
Safe upgrade guardrail – prevents updates during sensitive operations.
Modern Outlook plugin – improved Microsoft 365 integration.
UI and security patches – smoother admin workflows, stronger defences.
Together, these updates make training more realistic, response more efficient, and operations more secure.
Benefits of Phishing Risk Scoring
Speed: Reduce manual email reviews.
Accuracy: Focus on the most dangerous threats.
Scalability: Handle hundreds of reports without overwhelming your team.
