Not every breach is an attack. Some are a wrong autocomplete.
Sending confidential information to the wrong recipient is one of the most commonly reported data incidents, and it is entirely self-inflicted. VeridLock treats an unfamiliar recipient as a reason to pause, whether or not anybody is attacking you.
An address your organization has never corresponded with is flagged before the message goes.
Near-misses of domains you use regularly are caught by the same distance analysis that catches attackers.
Messages carrying identifiers or confidentiality markers are surfaced so the stakes are visible.
Mail clients are optimised to complete an address after two or three characters, drawing on every address the user has ever touched. That is convenient hundreds of times a day and catastrophic once, when the completed address belongs to a different client, a former employee or a competitor.
The error is invisible at the moment it happens, because the address looks like an address and the send looks like a send.
VeridLock checks the recipient against your trust list and your organization's communication history. An address that is in neither is not accused of anything — it is simply reported as unfamiliar, with a prompt to confirm it is correct before sensitive information leaves.
Once a recipient has been confirmed and added to the trust list, they stop generating prompts. The control concentrates its friction on genuinely new relationships, which is exactly where misdirection happens.
The sender writes the message as normal.
The recipient is tested against trust lists and communication history.
Unfamiliar recipients raise a confirmation before dispatch.
Confirmed recipients are added to the trust list and stop prompting.
The outcome
The reportable incident does not happen, because the wrong address was questioned while it was still a draft.
