Sublime Security Reviews

The basic functionality provided by Microsoft Defender and its email protections was insufficient for our needs. While it effectively handled common spam and phishing attempts, we required a solution that could address more sophisticated attacks. After researching the market, we discovered Sublime Security. Our organization expressed considerable interest in tools that utilize LLM and AI agent technologies. After conducting a thorough review, we selected Sublime Security, and we have been using it in our environment ever since.

The autonomous security analyst agent takes user-submitted emails and conducts a thorough review of them. Out of the box, Sublime Security comes with a variety of security rules that it applies to incoming emails. However, when someone submits an email to a phishing mailbox, the autonomous security analyst performs an even more in-depth analysis of that message. This tool utilizes an underlying agentic component powered by a large language model (LLM), which, as I understand, currently uses Claude 3.7. The analyst thoroughly examines the email and provides not only the verdict it arrives at but also a detailed explanation of how it reached that conclusion. This includes all the logic and reasoning used during its evaluation, giving us a level of detail that is quite valuable.

I have found that the verdicts are generally accurate, although there can be unusual edge cases in any organization. The information returned from the analysis has helped me understand the rationale behind decisions, clarifying why something was classified as spam, gray mail, or malicious. While these classifications are typically reliable, specific contexts might require additional considerations. Since September of this year, we have been operating in a fully automated remediation mode with the autonomous security analyst. So far, I haven’t seen many instances of users disputing the verdicts. We communicate the results to those who report phishing emails, informing them of the decision made and the actions taken. Users have been generally receptive to this feedback, and we aim to be transparent about our reasoning.

We continuously evaluate the cases labeled as either malicious or benign to ensure that legitimate emails are not incorrectly flagged as dangerous. Our goal is to avoid mistakenly labeling a dangerous email as safe. Although I trust the tool, we are diligent about validating its performance regularly, especially since the email landscape is always changing. Overall, I have been very satisfied with the tool, and we are currently achieving about a 95% automation rate for user-submitted emails.

I felt comfortable moving forward with enabling auto-remediation due to the detailed information provided. As an analyst, if I encountered something that didn't seem quite right or if there was an edge case in the environment that required a different response, I could easily navigate and address these issues. The web interface offers a comprehensive layout for evaluating emails in depth, providing all the essential details one would need for decision-making. For instance, you have access to basic information such as SPF and DKIM, along with complete header information. You can also retrieve a copy of the email itself, including any attachments, which can be placed in a sandbox environment for further analysis. This allows you to utilize any other tools or assessment methods necessary to verify findings, giving you complete freedom to investigate. Overall, the auditability and the ability to evaluate the information in Sublime through various mechanisms made me very comfortable with setting these capabilities to auto-remediation. So far, we have been very pleased with the results.

It is a big deal for us that Sublime Security offers reduced vendor dependency in deploying new protections. Being able to utilize this platform regardless of the environment it monitors is crucial. We have Sublime Security deployed in both a Microsoft environment and a Google Workspace setting. The ability to enable rules through the same platform, regardless of the monitored environment, and to do this via API calls makes the process much cleaner. It eliminates the need to rely on other tools to perform its functions. In the future, we aim to extract information from the Sublime platform to integrate with a Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR) platform, like Simplify or Demisto Cortex. We’re keen on leveraging data from Sublime Security, but for now, we’re very satisfied with performing most tasks directly within the portal. We are also considering other automation opportunities moving forward. Overall, the ability to apply this functionality without initially worrying about integration with other tools speeds up onboarding and enhances our value from the system right from the start.

Based on a 30-day period, using the Microsoft Defender toolset, around 240,000 phishing messages are blocked before delivery each month. Sublime Security's control set operates after this initial filtering. The basic phishing attempts—those that are well-known and have malware attached—are typically blocked by Microsoft Defender. However, of the emails that do get past Microsoft Defender, we still triage and remediate about 186,000 emails a month within Sublime Security. This number represents emails that successfully bypassed Microsoft Defender's capabilities. Having Sublime Security as an additional layer of defense significantly enhances our security. To put it into perspective, we are blocking about two-thirds more unwanted emails with Sublime Security compared to what Microsoft Defender blocks. So, we are noticing a substantial reduction in unwanted emails, even after other security controls have had their chance to filter them out but failed to do so.

What I appreciate most about Sublime Security is the amount of detail that's provided. I've used Microsoft Defender and, in the past, Proofpoint for similar purposes. Both offer valuable insights, but what stands out about Sublime Security is how accessible the detailed analyses are for the messages that have been evaluated. The tools clearly explain why a specific verdict was assigned to a message. This level of detail is essential for analysts and anyone conducting evaluations, as it helps them understand the specific circumstances of their environment. What may be clearly malicious in one organization could be viewed as legitimate or benign in another. The information provided about flagged emails and the subsequent evaluations offers a comprehensive breakdown of how a particular conclusion was reached, which has been incredibly beneficial.

I know that a lot of time has been invested in improving the efficacy of the platform, and it shows; it performs very well. Moving forward, I think our focus should be on how to achieve better integration with other systems. While they do provide API-level access and web hooks, I believe more out-of-the-box integrations with SOAR platforms and SIEM tools would enhance Sublime's value. This would allow it to be integrated more closely with the workflows of various teams and could potentially increase its market appeal. From my perspective, the tool itself functions exceptionally well, which gives me confidence in the system. I want to see this functionality extend to other tools that I use, enabling faster automation and improved workflows for the team, particularly from a security operations standpoint. I have no critiques regarding the tool itself. They've done an outstanding job and are maintaining high quality throughout their development process. They have a great product, and it's essential that they continue to uphold that standard, even though it requires significant effort.

I have been using it since 2024.

My thoughts on the stability of Sublime Security are positive. I believe the effectiveness of the system is largely due to its API-based development and its scalable infrastructure on the back end. I haven't experienced any slowness when using their portal or during the actions they take to remove malicious content from the environment. For example, our CISO contacted me after receiving a notification on their phone about an email that Microsoft initially thought was valid. However, by the time they opened their Outlook client, the email had already been removed because it was deemed malicious. Sublime Security acted quickly; once Microsoft alerted Outlook about the incoming email, Sublime Security managed to pull it from the stream before it had a chance to appear in the user's inbox. This happened so swiftly that the email was deleted before the intended recipient ever received it. We were able to conduct a thorough evaluation and provide the CISO with all the information they needed, which made them very satisfied. If we can meet the expectations of such a demanding customer in terms of email security, it's a strong indication of the system's reliability.

Regarding scalability, we initially protected around 20,000 mailboxes daily, and that number has now increased to about 35,000, with no signs of lag or slowness. When we first onboarded the tool, there were close to 600 active detection rules. That number has now risen to 734. Despite nearly doubling the number of mailboxes and adding significantly more detection rules, the service remains just as fast as it was when we first implemented it. Overall, it appears to be highly scalable.

We have a Teams channel that we use regularly with them. They provide updates on new capabilities being enabled, as well as information that allows us to open cases if we have questions. If there's an issue in the platform that they want us to investigate further, this communication channel allows for free-flowing dialogue. 

I haven't been disappointed so far; their response is very fast. If there's something more complex, they can connect you with the appropriate engineering resources for a more in-depth conversation. We have our own internal AI review panel, and we were able to get in touch with the person who constructed the LLM and its agentic aspects relatively quickly to address our questions. They offer a wide range of expertise to their customer base on relatively short notice. Overall, they have been highly responsive and very helpful.

It's very simple. You just need to gain API-level access to a Microsoft 365 tenant or a Google Workspace account. As long as someone can provide an API key with the necessary permissions, that's all it takes. The entire process of setting it up is straightforward and easy to implement.

It could take about a week to get the right approvals because of the large organization, but the actual technical implementation takes 30 minutes.

Maintenance is taken care of by Sublime. They do auto updates and addition of new rules and all of that. It's completely hosted by them. It's a full SaaS model.

Sublime Security has proven to be a significant advantage for us. We transitioned from relying on a third-party service provided by Cofense for handling user-reported phishing emails to managing everything in-house. This means that our previous relationship with Cofense has ended, and we have fully replaced their services with Sublime, which automates many remediation actions.

Importantly, we didn’t need to hire any additional staff; we were able to absorb this responsibility using our existing team. As we activated more functionalities of the tool, our team learned to manage the process effectively. Now, we handle everything internally, utilizing both the tool and our team's processes.

It's very reasonable. It's competitive with its peers, especially for the number of mailboxes we have.

We have not yet fully enabled ADÉ, but I am working on getting it activated because we have confidence in the rest of the toolset and its available functions. Currently, it is undergoing evaluation and remains in public beta. For any components that we activate, particularly those based on AI, we have an internal review board. This board focuses on determining whether a large language model (LLM) or AI component will be used to facilitate model learning in other environments or if it will be restricted solely to our tenant. We want to ensure that our internal organizational messages are not used to train external models. This review process will be conducted on a function-by-function basis, even for tools we've previously assessed. Although we haven't completed this review for the component yet, it is on our agenda. I would like to have it turned on before the end of the calendar year. We are moving forward with this, but it must pass our internal review first. If the review results are positive, we will aim to enable it before the end of December.

I would rate Sublime Security a nine out of ten.

Sublime Security serves as our primary solution for advanced mail threat detection and response. We use it to identify phishing attempts, business email compromise, malicious attachments, credential harvesting campaigns, and other email-based threats before they reach our end users.

One recent example involved a phishing campaign targeting our finance team members with fake invoices. Using Sublime Security, we detected suspicious indicators such as domain impersonations, link behavior, and email content patterns, which flagged and isolated the messages before users interacted with them, preventing a potential credential compromise.

We use Sublime Security daily for monitoring inbound email threats and also for investigating suspicious emails, tuning detection rules, and improving our overall email security posture.

Sublime Security's best features include advanced phishing detection, custom detection rules, real-time threat analysis, and email behavior analysis.

The detection engine has made the biggest difference because it catches sophisticated phishing attempts that traditional email security sometimes misses.

In terms of Sublime Security's impact, it has strengthened our email security posture, reduced the phishing risk, improved response time, and increased confidence in our security controls. It has reduced phishing-related incidents by approximately 60% and makes the investigation and response process faster by around 30 to 40%.

The Autonomous Detection Engineer has made a noticeable difference because it works far better than normal detection rules, thanks to its AI capabilities and the context it has regarding email threats.

I find the controllable and transparent AI in Sublime Security regarding its decision-making process and auditability to be excellent, allowing us to control all the security workflows effectively.

Sublime Security is a great tool, but improvements are needed in areas such as better executive-level summaries, a more advanced reporting dashboard, and more automated remediation workflows. Additionally, integration with security platforms could be more useful.

The product is already strong from a detection perspective, and most improvements should focus on reporting, automation, and broader integration.

I have been using Sublime Security for about 11 months.

Sublime Security has proven to be stable and dependable in our daily operations.

Sublime Security's scalability is very good, and it scales well with growing email volume and evolving threat patterns.

Our customer support has been responsive and technically knowledgeable, leading to a great experience with their team.

We previously relied on default email security controls and a combination of security monitoring tools because we needed stronger protection against increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks and better visibility into email threats.

The setup is relatively straightforward, and the pricing feels reasonable considering the value it provides in preventing phishing and email-based threats.

We directly purchased Sublime Security from the vendors.

The ROI comes from reduced phishing risk, faster incident response, and lower operational overhead, making it a very good investment.

On average, Sublime Security has prevented about 200 to 300 malicious emails daily for all users, which equals around 6,000 to 7,000 per month, totaling approximately 60 to 70,000 over the 10 to 11 months we have used it.

We evaluated Abnormal Security and Microsoft Defender before choosing Sublime Security.

Sublime Security is performing well with its SaaS platform, but for enterprise levels, they might need to consider adjustments such as license pricing and setup for on-premises clients.

My advice to others looking into using Sublime Security is to integrate it fully with your email environment and security workflows and to spend time tuning detection policies early to maximize value and reduce noise, as it is a great tool that provides enterprise-level security.

I find that the threat detection is accurate and very reliable, with strong detection performance and relatively low false positives, which is vital for operational efficiency.

I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.

I currently use Sublime Security to restrict phishing campaigns occurring in my organization, as it detects suspicious indicators such as domain impersonation, automatically flags, and remediates those messages before user interaction. To restrict user interaction, I use Sublime Security here.

My organization specializes in email-related security, so we exclusively use Sublime Security without using Microsoft Defender.

What I like the most about Sublime Security is that it automatically analyzes and remediates suspicious emails reported by the AI agents, allowing security teams to write custom organization-specific policies according to their needs. It converts threat handles into automatic decisions, uses MQL, and monitors and blocks outbound email containing sensitive information or user data, helping organizations prevent leaks related to email.

One issue I dislike about Sublime Security is that it requires expertise in MQL, which took my organization almost two months to learn. I initially took help from a vendor but later needed customization, meaning I had to learn the MQL language myself, which was challenging since none of my five to six engineers knew how it worked beforehand. Additionally, while Sublime Security mainly focuses on email defense systems, it does not protect other tools like Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, or Zoom. It would be beneficial if it could be used for other tools configured with emails. I also found limitations in its integration with specialized tools, requiring customized API solutions for end-to-end data capture.

I have been using Sublime Security for the last eight months, and it is a one-time configuration, so I do not need to use it again and again. I simply enjoy its automation directly.

Regarding stability, I can say that I have not faced any lagging, crashing, or downtime issues, so I would score it full marks since there have been no problems until now.

Concerning scalability, I am getting a large volume of emails daily, around one thousand to one thousand five hundred per mailbox, indicating that it has good scalability since I have not encountered any issues.

I contacted technical support because there were some emails that could not be identified due to phishing. I contacted the team and learned that I missed some configurations on my end. The technical team helped me greatly, and since then, I have not faced any issues. I need to take care during configuration, refer to their documentation, and ensure everything is set up correctly to avoid future problems.

Since I contacted support only once and it was helpful, I would give them a score of ten out of ten.

I cannot provide specifics about other systems I have used before, but I can say that I have encountered approximately forty to sixty phishing emails so far. These include suspicious messages related to financial matters and promotions which Sublime Security has successfully detected to prevent interactions.

The initial deployment of Sublime Security was moderate; it was neither particularly difficult nor easy. It was configured by my vendor team and required some MQL expertise alongside some custom API configuration.

In terms of maintenance, it requires an annual subscription per mailbox if I want to purchase it at once. If there are no issues, I do not think annual maintenance costs should be necessary since there are no major issues (P1, P2) with Sublime Security.

I have not used any alternatives, but there is Microsoft Defender, which is an inbuilt tool for Microsoft.

In terms of transparency, Sublime Security provides the correct information I require. It also offers usable data and additional solutions for configuration to avoid potential issues, which I appreciate. The transparency is particularly good in terms of knowledge.

It is very important for my organization that Sublime Security offers reduced vendor dependency when deploying new protections, especially to mitigate phishing risks since I am a security organization. I do not want to face any vulnerabilities, security breaches, or risks related to email, given its central role in my daily interactions. I see Sublime Security as a very important tool that allows me to work without fear of breaches.

I have installed only one AI agent, ASA, which stands for Autonomous Security Analyst. This agent analyzes and remediates dangerous or suspicious emails reported from other mails. So far, I have only used ASA, which has been incredibly helpful, but I am not sure about other AI agents since ASA has been my only implementation.

Regarding the impact of the autonomous detection engineer on my environment's detection coverage, I have not faced any issues, so I cannot comment on its impact at this time.

I would give Sublime Security an overall review rating of nine out of ten.

My main use case for Sublime Security is email security, as it provides an AI-powered email security platform designed to manage all the emails coming to the organization, which is comparable to other email security tools available, allowing us to detect phishing attacks using different rules.

Regarding my main use case for Sublime Security, we mainly use it as an email security tool, which is customizable with detection logics and automation capabilities that help us understand why emails are flagged, enabling organization-specific detections.

The best features of Sublime Security include its seamless integration with Microsoft 365, which can be set up easily within three to four hours, the built-in detection rules that are effective against phishing, and its ability to reduce false positives compared to Microsoft Defender.

The customization and threat hunting features of Sublime Security have helped my team by allowing us to create specific detection rules for quarantined emails and alerting SOC analysts automatically, and one notable instance involved identifying a compromised user through flagged suspicious alerts.

Sublime Security positively impacts my organization with AI-driven detection that reduces false positives and improves alert severity, providing timely notifications to the SOC analyst if any interaction occurs after clicking a potentially malicious link.

To improve Sublime Security, I would appreciate better reporting capabilities, as the current reports are too high-level for regular SOC operations.

Apart from reporting, everything else about Sublime Security is impressive.

I have been using Sublime Security for more than around 1.5 years.

Sublime Security is stable, with minimal maintenance times and high reliability, experiencing very few downtimes.

Sublime Security's scalability is impressive, accommodating organizations of various sizes and capable of handling growth effortlessly.

I raised multiple support cases regarding report availability, and they have been very responsive, showing a commitment to resolving issues.

I would rate the customer support a 9.5.

I have exclusively used Sublime Security for this customer, but I have used Avanan and Microsoft Defender for others, and I find Sublime Security to be one of the best tools for email security.

The best features of Sublime Security include its seamless integration with Microsoft 365, which can be set up easily within three to four hours.

We are customers of Sublime Security, without any other business relationship.

While quantifying return on investment is challenging, Sublime Security has helped my team by avoiding multiple false positives and facilitating better investigations.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is limited, but I noticed that Sublime Security was slightly more expensive than Avanan or Defender, as Defender comes included with other Microsoft products, but I believe Sublime Security is value for money.

Before choosing Sublime Security, we evaluated Avanan and Defender 365, but clients opted for Sublime Security due to its superior detection rules and customer support.

If pricing is not an issue, I advise others to go for Sublime Security.

Reduced vendor dependency in deploying new protections with Sublime Security matters to us as it enhances email classification and security alerts, aiding in the detection of subtle threats.

The impact of Autonomous Detection Engineer (ADA) on our detection coverage has been significant, blocking over 1,500 to 1,800 emails classified mostly as spear-phishing targeting VIP users.

As for the AI agents, we have not fully utilized their capabilities yet, relying more on improving detection rules and email classification.

I rate this product a 9 overall.

Our main use case is two-fold. Primarily, as a channel partner, our core focus is channel enablement. We actively pitch, demonstrate, and distribute Sublime Security to our partner network, who then deploy it for end-user organizations. Secondarily, we 'drink our own champagne' by running it internally to protect our own business communications.

When we position it to our partners, we frame it as an advanced email security platform. It goes far beyond traditional junk filtering by actively hunting the sophisticated threats that bypass native defenses—specifically Business Email Compromise (BEC), CEO fraud, invoice scams, fake login pages, and malware attachments.

As a distributor, the positive impact for us is measured by how well the product performs for our partners and their end-users. Sublime Security has been a major positive because it perfectly fits our criteria for 'best-in-breed' solutions. Specifically, it delivers strong ROI, saves employee time, and significantly reduces risk exposure by preventing expensive breaches. Because it checks all these boxes, we've been able to successfully enable our partners across all our regions to confidently take it to market.

Another major positive is its deployment model. In today's cybersecurity landscape, 'rip-and-replace' is a massive hurdle for buyers. Sublime works flawlessly with existing tools, enhancing a customer's current stack rather than forcing them to rebuild it.

The standout features of Sublime Security revolve around its ability to catch advanced threats that bypass native defenses. Specifically, it excels at blocking malware attachments and stopping Business Email Compromise (BEC), such as CEO fraud and invoice scams.

A major advantage is its fast time-to-value because it isn't a rip-and-replace solution. Instead, it acts as a 'smarter layer' that enhances existing protections like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. While native security catches the obvious junk, Sublime uses flexible, customizable detection logic to catch the highly sophisticated attacks that easily slip through standard filters.

Finally, the platform gives you deep visibility and fast search capabilities across all email activity. Without a tool like this, investigations take far too long, and teams lack visibility into what actually breached the inbox. Sublime solves this by offering rapid detection, automated response actions, and the ability to quickly remove malicious emails in bulk.

Based on the feedback we receive from our partners and their end-users, there are two main areas for improvement: the learning curve and pricing for smaller organizations. First, while the platform is incredibly powerful, it isn't simply 'plug-and-play.' Security teams need to invest time into learning the product to extract its full value.

Second, the cost can feel a bit steep for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs). However, we always caveat this by looking at the ROI: a single breach could put a small company completely out of business. While the upfront cost might seem high to them, preventing just one catastrophic breach means the tool instantly pays for itself.

I have been using the solution for eighteen months.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Sublime Security a nine out of ten because I believe there are a couple of negatives regarding scalability for catering to enterprise and small to medium enterprises. Additionally, the product requires a learning phase, and it is not readily usable right away.

 Sublime Security merits this rating because of a couple of changes that need to be addressed. If it catered to both small and enterprise businesses on a pricing scale, it would receive a ten, but it is not far away.

My main use case for Sublime Security is to test how this product works, so I am using this for that purpose.

For a quick specific example of what I tested with Sublime Security, it detects the emails of the person on this side to check that feature, and there is a feature in Sublime Security that is detection as code, which is an excellent feature that I have noticed in this product. I am talking about eleven hundred, and that detection feature is something where I can explicitly customize mentions of power spam or non-structured email. With our custom permissions, we have it, and getting that notice by word blocking is something very important. It is a great feature that I have been using.

Regarding my main use case for testing Sublime Security, it is very good, and I fully specify that detection; it is something very extensive with maximum features.

The best features Sublime Security offers include detection as code, which gives a very powerful feature for users to write rules, custom objects, and the language provides some syntax that is definitely a good feature. The second one is why it detects spam emails or justifies why this is considered spam, which is the second most valuable feature.

I use the detection as code feature in my day-to-day life, which usually identifies junk emails and spam emails by default with the conditions and the vast dataset it has. Even if some emails may not get into that machine learning dataset, I can describe if it is from an external source and has rewards; I can remove it since it is considered spam. This feature changes the usual segregation and categorization, helping users not fall for known types of emails that the system may not detect. The explanation of justification, instead of just flagging something as spam, gives the user understanding such as, this is not a Google email; we really cannot click on it. It enhances user security, and even if another user sees this type of content based on gesture events for another email, they think not to use the image correctly.

Sublime Security has positively impacted my organization.

I would say there are very minimal changes needed regarding Sublime Security; for first-time users, it can be difficult knowing how to write the tool. Having some templates available would improve the experience.

My advice for others looking into using Sublime Security is that each edition would be helpful for initial users, and users should set templates in, which can be added; right now, I am not trying anything new, as this is cool.

I have been using Sublime Security for three months.

Sublime Security is stable; I confirm this.

I did switch to Sublime Security; it is part of my style of working.

Before choosing Sublime Security, I evaluated alternatives such as MyCast and Proofpoint, which I refused before finalizing on Sublime Security.

Phishing versus phishing detection is also something I find good, and I have mentioned these things already.

Since I have been using Sublime Security personally, I have noticed specific improvements like fewer spam emails and improved detection, which saves me time. It helps me segregate emails instead of reviewing all things manually, as it detects spam emails. I do not have to go through every email, which makes me very efficient for other tasks. It also shows if some emails are current, and if I am about to register or receive registration links, it tells me why those emails are separated. I understand better instead of reading all the emails, and it summarizes the words or thumbnails of the emails. If an email is considered good, I continue, making my time more efficient.

Regarding the AI capabilities of Sublime Security, I think for detection, using ML to analyze content is already a feature present in Sublime Security, which also identifies phishing attempts.

I think Sublime Security shows false positives. I give this review a rating of nine.

I use it for email security. 

I like its ability to detect and block.

The ability for users to look at their own quarantine box needs improvement. So at the moment, it doesn't give you the ability to see every email that has been quarantined. No end-user has the ability to see what's being quarantined. It's only people who have access to the back-end platform that can actually see what has been quarantined. The end user doesn't know if they have an email that has been quarantined, only if they're expecting something that didn't come through.

In future releases, I would just like to see that ability for users to see what's being quarantined and what's not quarantined but safe. Just those genuine false positives.

I have been using this solution for six to eight weeks at tops. 

It is a stable product. The stability is top-notch.

Since it is cloud-based, it's easily scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

We have around 60 end users using this solution. 

All of that's been done through our security partner. But I haven't gone through them directly.

When I compare it to Microsoft Defender in terms of security effectiveness, I would prefer Sublime Security because it is a separate solution from the main stack, which makes it more proactive in identifying and stopping malicious emails.

For me, it was simple because the security partner did the setup. They onboarded us.

I would rate the pricing of Sublime Security as a seven. It is reasonably well-priced. 

I would rate Sublime Security's ability to provide security as a nine. It is a very effective security solution.
