StrongestLayer announced Intent Workflows, a feature for its email security platform that holds high-risk messages before delivery and sends them to a designated person or security team for review. It looks for consequential requests, including changes to vendor banking details, instructions aimed at AI assistants, and threats against people or facilities.

Companies can set policies for whether messages are allowed, quarantined, blocked or sent for human approval. Approval requests and notifications can go through Microsoft Teams or email, and the feature is designed to work alongside existing email security systems.

## The facts

- StrongestLayer says 94% of the attacks in its Q2 2026 Phishing Genome research that caused 98% to 99.7% of financial losses passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks.
- The company announced Intent Workflows on November 5, 2026.

## Why it matters

Finance teams can require verification when vendor banking instructions change, but the announcement does not provide independent evidence of how accurately the system identifies risky messages.
