Everything in Mailbox Threats
Each capability is available on its own or combined with the other modules in a single subscription.
Basic Reporting
Consolidates mailbox test results into readable, configurable reports covering delivered versus blocked samples, severity, and remediation guidance. Available as PDF/HTML/XLS and via the API.
Notification
Sends real-time alerts when a malicious sample bypasses your filters or a scheduled test fails. Thresholds and recipient groups are configurable per mailbox service.
Scheduling Scanning
Mailbox tests can run hourly, daily, weekly, or as custom scheduled jobs, with full execution history retained for audit purposes.
Report Compare
Compares mailbox test runs to highlight newly bypassing samples, resolved gaps, and regressions after gateway or policy changes.
Mailbox Threat Detection
Evaluates your mail gateway against current malware families, phishing kits, and spam campaigns, recording exactly which payloads and content types reach the inbox.
Yara Rule Recommendation
Turns bypassing samples into actionable YARA rules you can deploy on your mail gateway or EDR, closing the detection gap that the test revealed.
Bridge Account
A dedicated bridge mailbox connects PentestBX to your mail infrastructure so tests traverse the same path as real inbound mail, without changing production routing.
