Sentry: Implementing Enterprise-Grade Email Protection for Small Business

Q: How does Sentry differ from simple alias generators?

Sentry uses AI to actively filter content and detect leaks, whereas traditional tools are passive forwarders.

Q: Is my business data private?

Yes, we follow Zero-Trust protocols and do not store communication bodies.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly targeted by sophisticated phishing and spam campaigns. While large corporations can afford expensive security platforms, smaller teams are often left vulnerable. We are launching Sentry — an AI-powered Email Shield that brings enterprise-level security to the SMB market.

TL;DR:

The Problem: 90%+ of cyberattacks start with an email. SMBs lack affordable, smart protection.
The Solution: Sentry provides AI-managed email aliases that filter threats before they reach your inbox.
Key Innovation: Real-time Leak Detection notifies businesses when a vendor compromises their data.
Availability: Built on WRIO infrastructure, launching in 48 hours.

Email remains the weakest link in business security. For a small business owner or a freelancer, a single leaked email address can lead to hundreds of hours of lost productivity due to spam, or worse, a devastating phishing attack.

The Gap in Email Security

Today, businesses face a difficult choice. On one end, they have basic filters provided by email hosts (Gmail, Outlook), which are good at catching obvious spam but fail to protect the user's primary identity. On the other end, there are complex security suites like Ironscales or Abnormal Security, which cost thousands of dollars and require dedicated IT departments.

Sentry fills this gap by combining the privacy of Email Aliases with the intelligence of Large Language Models (LLMs).

How Sentry Protects Your Business

Sentry acts as a proactive shield sitting between the public internet and your private inbox.

1. Identity Masking with Smart Aliases

When signing up for a new vendor or service, business owners no longer need to share their primary email. Sentry generates a unique, managed alias (e.g., inbox.name.service@sentry.wr.io). This prevents your primary address from ever appearing on a leaked database.

2. AI-Driven Threat Neutralization

Unlike traditional filters that rely on blacklists, Sentry employs AI (Gemini 2.0 Flash) to evaluate the intent of every incoming message. It understands context, identifies subtle phishing attempts, and classifies "graymail" (marketing noise) with human-level accuracy.

3. Automated Data Breach Detection

The most significant innovation in Sentry is the active monitoring of vendor integrity. If an alias created for a specific service starts receiving unsolicited mail from unknown sources, Sentry automatically:

Flags the service responsible for the leak.
Disables the compromised alias.
Notifies the user with a detailed incident report.

Built for Speed on WRIO

Sentry is not a standalone silo. It is built as a native process on the WRIO Automation Platform. By leveraging our existing Workflows API, Cloudflare Email Routing integrations, and D1/R2 storage, we are able to move from concept to a production-ready beta in just 48 hours.

Our "Process-as-a-Service" (PRaaS) architecture allows us to deploy complex AI filtering logic as a series of simple, high-performance workflow nodes, ensuring maximum reliability and minimal latency.

Next Steps for SMBs

We are opening the first phase of the Sentry Beta this Monday. We invite small business founders and security-conscious professionals to join the waitlist.

At WRIO, we believe that security shouldn't be a luxury. We are committed to providing robust, AI-powered tools that respect your time and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Sentry differ from simple alias generators?

Traditional alias tools are passive forwarders. If an alias is leaked, they keep forwarding spam. Sentry is active; its AI identifies the leak, blocks the noise, and keeps your inbox clean without manual intervention.

Is my business data private?

Yes. Sentry follows a strict Zero-Trust protocol. We do not store the body of your forwarded business communications. The AI only processes the text transiently to make a filtering decision.

Can we integrate Sentry with our current CRM?

Since Sentry is built on WRIO, it can automatically sync incident reports (like detected leaks) to your BizCom workspace or any other integrated CRM via our Workflows API.
