🔒OpenEFA®
Privacy-First AI

Most email security vendors send your messages to third-party cloud AI platforms for analysis—exposing your confidential communications, client relationships, and business intelligence to external systems.

OpenEFA is different. Our proprietary machine learning runs entirely within our controlled infrastructure. Your email data never leaves to train external AI models or feed cloud ML services. Your business relationships, client contacts, and sensitive communications remain private—not shared with big tech AI projects.

Enterprise-grade protection. Zero data exposure.
